[quote=Anonymous]Oh OP, I feel for you.  This is my DH's family.  They are extremely insular and cold.  It's their way, or else meet their wrath.

I am grateful I learned this early (with wedding plans that DH and I paid for - and other extremely unusual circumstances surrounding our big day).   They will say they are supportive, but act like it is their way or else. I have since seen this behavior during funerals, births and our extremely limited vacation time.  So, they are "choosy" about whom they are nice and accepting to - let's just say it is not who matters.

They would rather kiss butt to extremely distant relatives, and try to put on a good face, than actually show support to those who are closer in blood and geography.  It makes no sense.

They barely know the youngest grandchildren.  Now the grandchildren are old enough to realize, inevitably.

OP, there is only so much you can do for people like that.  You can stand on your head and spit nickels.  But really, what does that get you?
