[quote=Anonymous]I get wanting to have contact with the kids, but it feels extremely passive aggressive at best to refuse any contact with the sibling but to send things to the kids. Heck, your sibling can't even tell you to please not send things because you refuse to acknowledge anything they have to say. It crosses the line from cutting them off for your own benefit to being openly disrespectful and inappropriate when you pursue contact with their minor children but refuse to allow them a role in that relationship (other than to cut you off from the kids). Would you be comfortable if an adult were acting that way with your kids?

The cases where I've seen it work out to have a relationship with the kids after cutting off a sibling always happen when the kids were adults or near-adults who already had a significant relationship with the aunt/uncle before their parent was cut off. At that point, they're old enough to have their own family relationships without their parents and can choose on their own whether to continue it.[/quote]
