[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. OP, you need to decide what you want. 1) Do you want MIL not to come for Christmas? 2) Do you want financial help from the siblings? 3) Do you want effort/organizational help from the siblings? Make a list of clear actions you need done. Then ask DH to directly ask his family. He can do it in email or whatever, but it needs to come from him.[/quote] I think No. 3 would be the best. I completely agree that DH needs to speak to his siblings and mother directly. I am just spinning my wheels, short of actually writing this email for him, to get him to be vulnerable enough to ask for real help and express sincere concern. [/quote] Write it for him. Seriously. Sometimes people need that much help.[/quote]
