[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: yes, new SIL was the other woman. We were all devastated. We are cordial to her but it’s not the sabe as it was with the first wife. We understand they never meant for the affair to happen but several familiares got hurt. My nephew and nieces are pointedly polite to their father but they do not want to be around his new family. You just can’t force a relationship. I know he’s offended, he made a few stupid threats “well, I will caught you off” which they didn’t care about, they are self sufficient.

I want to propose to him and his wife to come a bit earlier to our parents’ house and not see the elder kids. I just don’t know how it will be received. [/quote]

You waited a long time to give this update. How has this not come up in 5 years? Something seems amiss here....[/quote]

Yeah, by now you would have experienced these issues many times.

G&G invite everyone, but totally understand that the adult Grandkids may leave if dad/stepmom show up.  Can't say I blame them.  They can be polite about it, but should not have to spend time with their dad/stepmom/SM kids unless they want to.

However, by now your parents must have figured out that having them all together is not the best idea.  Doesn't seem like most of you and your siblings really care to see your brother with his family either.  If it were me, I'd invite everyone but the dad/stepmom/family and visit with them later.  He made this situation and no everyone doesn'thave to get over it---they don't have to want to be around him.  [/quote]
