[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The whole storm started when I made him choose many years ago, when I was younger.  [I wanted to give some helpful information without giving a "play by play", so to speak.  (I also do not care to give too much identifying information, for my own reasons).]

That particular instance led to a huge falling out, of course. It essentially set the stage for what would be my exclusion from most family gatherings.  Now, I have grown children, and we must create our own memories (I get it) - just wondering how people in my situation have handled the rejection and what goes with it.

Stepmom and I do not respect each other, so "pretending" everything is fine is not an option.  [/quote]

How do you handle the situation? You apologize profusely. Grovel, if you have to. You were wrong. You need to tell them that you were wrong and that you are sorry about the rift.

You should NEVER force someone to choose between their partner and their other family members. [/quote]
