[quote=Anonymous]My husbands side of the family does not communicate well.  They don't address problems and either sulk, ignore, make passive comments or a combination of the above.  Several things have happened that have hurt me over the years and one major thing recently.  My husband has brought it up in the past at my urging, but the situation did not change.  I feel like we should both discuss my concerns and the problems of the past in person and DH has agreed.  MIL said she was "perplexed about what we would want to discuss" but agreed.  We'll see them in 2 weeks.  Is this a bad idea?  Should I let it all out (in as polite a way as I can) or will that overwhelm them.  Did things improve for you after you conveyed what has been bothering you, hurtful or offensive?  I figure at a minimum I'll be able to get things off my chest and if they reject my concerns, I'll definitely know where we stand.  Or is it better to continue ignoring and just show up for the dog and pony show at Christmas and not see them again for another 6 months and accept this will be our relationship?  I'm sad for my kids.[/quote]
