[quote=Anonymous]I’m on the other side of this. My SIL always comes here and we rarely go there. She and her husband have done some very hurtful things to our family in the past 15 years and we are just done with it. She is trying to make amends but everything is fake. We’ve been through this cycle before where her and her husband fly off the handle at us (or the other siblings/parents who all live locally) and then we have to go groveling back. Once we stopped the groveling, the whole dynamic changed. Truth is that they bring much more stress into our lives and after 15 years DH and I are done with it. We’ve decided we’re ok if cousins aren’t BFFs (which made me a bit sad because I’m really close my cousins) as long as everyone can remain cordial and minimize the time together - so we rarely go to their place.
