[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Focus on your relationship with your family of origin. You've done the best you can do with DH's side of the family. It's not happening. You can't force it. Move on. You may find that when you take this pressure off of yourself, they'll feel less pressure from you, and may come around a bit. But again, that might not be the case, and it's OK. You can't force closeness. Know that you've done your best, you did everything you could do, but it's not up to you totally, and you're not in control. Focus on your husband and children, and your family of origin, and your friends. [/quote] Thank you for this kid, reasonable reply. This is all great advice. It's what I've been trying to do, but the issue is that my husband of course doesn't want to back off the relationship with his family. I'm not sure how to mesh my needs with his. [/quote]
