[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I suspect your relatives are saying stuff about how you could stay there because they're coping with cognitive dissonance. I imagine they are super worried about their grandson and his siblings, now and for how your grandson will fare as an adult with this kind of difficult road ahead. They don't have the family they imagined and the vacations they imagined. And all of that is hard for them to process, and it feels awkward and[b] probably frustrates them that you aren't going along with their desire to pretend there isn't a problem. But they know perfectly well there is a problem. Holding those two ideas at once creates cognitive dissonance, and they vent their stress at you and blame you because they don't really have anyone else they can do that to. They're not going to stop. You can insist that they stop saying stuff in front of your younger child, but really, it doesn't matter-- your kid will catch on soon enough.[/b][/quote]

Don't take this on, OP. This literally should not become your problem.  Their wanting to live in MF La La Land is absolutely NOT your problem.[/quote]
