[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are cold-hearted.  Just because it's her husband's sister and not her own sister she gets a pass and can treat the children like non-entities?  You people make me thankful for my warm, wonderful family.  I would never treat my SILs or their kids like this.  [/quote]

What does your warm, wonderful family do for a family member who is having a mental health crisis?  Do you insist the family member put herself in situation that exacerbate her condition - situations where her presence is not missed by the guests of honor but by their parents?  Do you also insist recovering alcoholics should have a drink because that's what's expected in your family?  The situations are no different.

And, FWIW, I didn't have any problems conceiving - 4 pregnancies, 3 live births.  My miscarriage was no big deal to me.  But, I can easily understand how infertility can lead to mental health problems.[/quote]

We support each other through thick and thin, of course.  My SIL actually did go through hell trying to have a child and we were all there for her.  I've seen it up close, not just with my SIL but with multiple friends, but I'm not going to pretend I know what it is like.  I've never known anyone to actually shun relatives children over a period of years.  Perhaps it is a mental health crisis, but it sounds more like garden variety drama queen immaturity from what little we know on this thread.  [/quote]
