[quote=Anonymous]In your situation, I would accept the offer to stop exchanging gifts but ask to set up a visit for the cousins to spend some time together. If she responds positively to that, you can raise the communication issue in person - you've tried to keep in touch but something isn't working. What's the best way to reach SIL? How often would she like to chat with you, have the kids Skype, visit each other on holidays? Without assigning blame just say you'd like to improve things going forward - what's the best way to do that? And hear her out. My younger siblings have not spoken to me for long periods of time and then out of the blue announce they're visiting after years of not speaking to me. It's weird, uncomfortable, and at times hurtful, but I try to not write them off just because they wrote me off. Just because they have beef with me doesn't mean I have to have it back.[/quote]
