[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. Thank you for the replies. It feels good just to be understood because I'm at a place in my life where I don't feel that from anyone, so thank you!

Well, one tidbit I didn't put in my OP is that a little over a month ago or two months I got an email from stepbrother's wife where she ranted that my parents were coming to visit and she was angry and pissed off and said she was seething with rage, called my stepbrother stupid and useless abou talking about it, and said one of their kids was scared and stressed that my parents were coming to visit (my mom and stepdad are fabulous grandparents, so that is just absurd and[b] it was clear to me that his wife was feeding their kids a bunch of BS and it isn't good for the kids[/b]).

I did not reply. [b]I told my mom [/b]because she has a right to know when they show up and the kids are acting standoffish and weird.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'm worried my mom actually told them that I showed her the email. My mom wanted to see the email. It started off with me just telling her what was said, but then [b]she basically demanded to see the email. [/b]It wasn't easy for me to come to her with that information. [b]I genuinely don't want to be involved, [/b]but I also feel it's wrong to feed a child a bunch of information like that and make him afraid of his own grandparents (they desperately wanted a relationship with the kids)...

So yeah, I'm afraid my mom told them I sent the email to her or she heard from me and she doesn't want some sort of confrontation. I didn't want to be involved, but I also didn't know what else to do but to tell my mom.[/quote]

Own your choices.  You made an [b]assumption [/b]that your SIL was telling her kids a "bunch of BS."  You then told your mom, and now you blame her for making you show her the email.  Your mom didn't make you do anything.  You chose to do so.  [/quote]
