[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They may be making terrible choices, but they are their choices to make. And this is the result of long-standing and entrenched dysfunction  - you’re being a bit naive imagining your potential impact - if it were that easy, 20 years wouldn’t have gone by.

They are grown adults and this is not your role.[/quote]

Thank you.  Sincerely.  I am a middle child and the peacemaker.  However it is not my place, as you've advised. [/quote]

I'm a middle child/peacemaker, too, but damn girl...this isn't even your own family.[/quote]

How is this not my family?  I have been married into it for 15 years?[/quote]

Get this: they were all fully-grown adults before your husband met you.

What makes you think that you know better than a group of adults what THEIR relationships should look like?!

You care about them. That's nice. Good for you. That doesn't make you the Decider, that doesn't make you the Director, that doesn't make you the Boss, that doesn't make you the All-Knowing Relationship Guru.[/quote]
