[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the "they took advantage of an immigrant kid" stuff.  They aren't nice and it's understandable that you don't like them but they didn't take special advantage of you.

I feel like I was fulfilling their obligations to their son.  We both worked several jobs through college and grad school. They could have made lives easier for us but didn't.[/quote]

Parents are not obligated to fund their child's college and grad school.  If they do, great.  If they can't or won't, it is the student's choice whether to take out student loans.  Your husband (and you because you are a team) chose to do that and as adults, you were responsible for repayment.  Unless these family members are actively mistreating your husband, it sounds like you are the person causing unhappiness and drama in this situation.  The best way to forgive someone (even though you simply sound entitled) is to serve and actively be kind to them.  Try it, it might help you to be happier.[/quote]
