[quote=Anonymous]Wow this sounds so much like my SMIL and FIL. You have a right to take care of you and your nuclear family. You have a right to expect to be treated with dignity and respect.

This is on your dad. I am impressed he actually admits he is doing something wrong-allowing this and not standing up to her. My FIL never admits anything.

I would absolutely stop all gifts. I would take the high road and tell her the gift is seeing loved ones and you no longer want to exchange material things with them. If she insists, I would simply donate the gifts if you don't like them.

You can reach out to your dad and try to maintain a relationship if you desire. If he insists everything be with her and then he allows poor treatment, that is on him.

Just know that you are not alone. It was very freeing when we stepped away from being treated like dirt while the stepmom's biological child and grandchildren were royalty. Sadly my FIL refused to stand up to her and refused to even acknowledged anything was wrong. Now she treats him like dirt because he is no longer of use to her (retired and has health isssues).[/quote]
