[quote=Anonymous]OP here again. 17:32, you're right on about how my sister and her DH perceive themselves at the top of the class system and almost everyone else is somewhere below. Totally right on.

The idea of cutting all ties with them breaks my heart because I love my nephews and niece. Also, if I were to cut all ties, I would have to provide my sister with an explanation...and she would be so hurt and so angry with me that she would never let it go. She is the type of person who will never let it go if you seriously wrong her or hurt her. For example, her FIL hurt her badly once, and now he is forbidden to see her sons. He has never met his 1YO grandson and hasn't seen the other son in 2 or 3 years). Her FIL was a bad parent to her DH, and I agree that he has done some hurtful things to my sister, but I do believe that he is a very loving grandfather, and deserves to be a part of the kids' lives. The man has called his son and begged to be able to see his grandchildren). Also, if I cut all ties and told my sister the reasons why, she'd probably poison my nephews and niece against me and my family. This is so hard.[/quote]
