[quote=Anonymous]Op here -- thank you all for your input. After reading this I have decided to try to (lightly) explain to DC that our family is screwed up and he won't be seeing his extended family on my side -- only grandma. I appreciate the suggestion for grandma to intervene, but it's more complicated than that. We live near DHs family, who are friendly and supportive and would never dream of ignoring us or slandering us (there is no legacy of abuse in his family) so my kids are not usually exposed to my side of the family on a regular basis, and they don't understand. I am wondering if anyone knows of any resources i may consult on how to talk to kids about this sort of thing ? Again, I believe its time i try to tell them why our family is not close, and i appreciate your input.[/quote]
