[quote=Anonymous]I have been married to my husband for 14 years.  Over the years, I have had a very cordial relationship with his family.  His mother and sister live about one hour away and would frequently come over on holidays and a few other days throughout the year.  My husband is not exceptionally close to them, but they talk occasionally (mostly when they need something, birthdays, etc.).  My husband and I would have both described our relationship with them as "good".

My mother passed away in January, who I took care of for three years before she passed.  My MIL and SIL would come over occasionally and sit and talk with her and even came over for her final birthday.  When my mother died, I did not receive a call, text, card...NOTHING from them at all (and yes they knew)!  They did not even bother to call to check on my two kids.  I am furious and I want nothing to do with these people ever again.  When my MIL did finally come over 6 weeks after the death of my mother, I told  her how hurt I was by her lack of compassion toward me and her grandchildren.  I have not spoken with the SIL.

My husband is constantly bending over backwards to help them with various things like making repairs in their home, etc and I am starting to feel resentment toward him.  I don't understand how he can be go giving and accommodating towards them when they totally disregarded my feelings and those of my children when when we needed the most support.
