[quote=Anonymous]This sounds so much like my husband's family. His parents have been divorced 30+ years, have married other people, and yet they cannot help but make snide remarks about each other in front of their children and grandchildren. It breaks my heart for my husband and his siblings that their parents can't even politely ignore each other for a few hours at a family function. All that being said, at a certain point you can create your own "family" if you want to. You and your sister don't need to invite parents over for every function or try and figure out how to coordinate separate functions.  Sometimes we get together with my SIL and her family minus the parents, and guess what? It's lovely! No snide remarks, no awkward moments, just good times with them. You may not want to confront your parents. If you have invited them to therapy and they decline then you've done all you can do. Sometimes I hope my in laws will look back one day and wish they had never been so petty and spiteful, but in the meantime we don't always have to be held hostage by their behavior.[/quote]
