[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never understood why some people demand apologies from people. She’s not sorry. That’s why she’s not apologizing.   It’s that simple.  Maybe she doesn’t like you.

But I think you were wrong to cut off access to the grandkids.  Did she do anything to them? It’s too late for that now but I feel it’s always wrong to put kids in the middle.

I do not speak to my SIL for something that happened between us.  I would NEVER try to prevent my kids from having a relationship with their aunt.  I don’t speak bad of her to them.  They are teens now and can text her and visit her without me. [/quote]

DP. I'm sorry but you cannot seriously think that you go and insult your DIL, the MOTHER of your grandchildren and then have access to them. Who would be giving you that access? The insulted DIL or her husband, your DH, who is also put off that his mother insults his wife? At some point an adult must take responsibility. Sure, you can insult whomever you want, but this comes with consequences. Nobody owes you anything. Certainly not any access. It's strange to have to spell this out to another adult. [/quote]

So cut her off? But getting pissed that she doesn’t care suggests you aren’t serious about cutting her off and it was an empty threat. [/quote]

Well, looks like from a practical point of view the MIL is cut off. That's what the whole thread is about, is pride really worth losing your family? This seems to happen when a personality disordered person starts her silent treatment, imagining that the one she insulted comes crawling back to her, and it doesn't happen. The result is being cut-off without any grand announcements. [/quote]
