[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine these inlaws are pretty exhausted from having to essentially raise these grandchildren. It might be they just don't have much energy left over after taking care of the kids that don't have any other parental support. Perhaps you could offer to have the grandchildren come a visit with you. Sometimes grandparents can come too, but also sometimes they can just have some time to themselves. I think giving them these breaks might help re-energize them, make it easier for them to reach out to your family. As an added bonus, your kids can build a relationship with their cousins. This may or may not work--it sounds like there is years of entrenched family dynamics in play, but might be worth a shot.[/quote] +1 It sounds like things have greatly stabilized since you first entered the picture and the parties most closely involved may be afraid to rock the boat too much for fear of capsizing.[/quote]
