[quote=Anonymous]OP I think it's great that you are able to be open about this. I, too, come from an abusive family and my husband had a neglectful mother and kind of useless father. The worst thing you'll find as you raise your kids is that people will tell you that your parents aren't so bad, they love you, be grateful, etc. and that the kids "need" these relatives. These people have no idea what it means to be raised by toxic people or to have parents you wouldn't inflict on an innocent child. It's wonderful that you are strong enough and wise enough to recognize that YOU get to decide how much of a relationship you want. Friends can be the family you choose. Glad you have good ones.
