[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your in-laws don't want to take on your problems. It sounds like it has already put some strain on them and they are trying to step back. Your DH has serious problems and you probably need to divorce him. You need to try to build a support network of people who are willing and able to provide support rather than try to force others into that role. And remember that you are a grown woman with your own agency who can make her own decisions without anyone's permission.

As for your step-MIL, if you have the energy and want to preserve the relationship try sending her a note to say happy birthday, happy Mother's Day, etc. Ask her about her day. If you don't have it in you, that's ok, but leave her alone.

OP again. I don't actually know when her birthday is, and she's younger than me and doesn't have children so wishing her Happy Mother's Day wouldn't work.  She doesn't wish me anything or like any of my posts on Facebook. That's why I had to send her the videos to make sure she knew of them and could pass them on to FIL. I think I will block her on Facebook since she isn't obviously isn't happy to hear from me or updates about my kids.[/quote]

Why block? Just don't contact her. That way she doesn't hear from you, AND you don't introduce more unnecessary drama. [/quote]
