[quote=Anonymous]I would cut contact in practice but not announce it.

Every time grandparents reach out for an event, be too busy. Drag your feet. Don’t make plans with them. Cancel often. If they’re looking forward to seeing the 14 year old and any other fun thing comes up that he might want to do comes up, I would always let him cancel.

Are your parents around OP? Do the kids have a relationship with them? Encourage that.

Also get marriage counseling because threatening divorce over protecting one of your children is insane. Your DH sounds very manipulative and controlling.

And put your feet down about things like gifts. I would be so angry about something like the Xbox/T-shirt that I would have just returned it to them, saying no thank you - Let them be angry for once. I would not cover for them by buying a second gift. The ice cream incident would have resulted in a very angry phone call from ME. It doesn’t sound like your DH is going to stand up to them. I would decide to be fine with ILs hating me as long as I got to stand up for my kids. Go full on mama bear on them, it is past time! [/quote]
