[quote=Anonymous]I think the only way you can stay in contact with your ex-BIL without picking sides is to focus on keeping the kids in touch. They're cousins and should be able to see each other regularly - if one of your kids' birthday falls on one of ex-BIL's weekend with the kids, the cousins should still get to come and your BIL can't realistically be expected to be invisible since it's his time with the kids. So, don't be dramatic, don't bring up the cause of the divorce (even to express sympathy) - just keep it focused on the kids and that their lives should be kept as normal as possible, including the fact the they should be allowed to spend time with their cousins even if it's Dad's time. If your family gets mad at you for that, just say your invitations to the nieces and nephews isn't conditioned upon who's weekend it is. [/quote]
