[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My xH talks to his ILs (my family) all the time, and I haven’t spoken to them in years, lol.

When we divorced he convinced them I was mentally ill and had done all these horrible things to him and our DC. So they sided with him. They still talk regularly on the phone about what a terrible person I am.

Sucks for my family, since they’ll never see DC again. I’m sure as hell not letting them around DC, and xH talks a big game but would never actually offer to visit or host them so they could see DC. Oh well! [/quote]

You must have had a terrible relationship  that they took you ex husband's side  You don't sound very innocent.[/quote]

NP. OR, they are abusers and PP grew up in an abusive environment which, unfortunately, affected her judgment when she chose her spouse. Now she is a scapegoat for all of them.

Don't judge. Evil loves evil. Just look at all the white supremacists coming out of the woodwork, lifting each other up.[/quote]

PP here. They are abusive.....so yes, we did have a terrible relationship. One sibling has pointed a gun at me, the other has threatened me with physical harm and filed complaints about me with my work (which he has nothing to do with), when I was a kid my mom routinely told me I was stupid and when I struggled with depression as a teen, told me I should just kill myself. So it’s not surprising I married an abusive man, and that they all stuck together to keep me in line. There’s a lot more to it - my xH is very charismatic and good at manipulating people, he knew exactly what buttons to push to get them on his side.

My family also started abusing my DC (gaslighting, berating) before my divorce, so cutting them off was going to happen anyway. Honestly I’m way happier not dealing with them and the constant drama. [/quote]
