[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH was previously married. We met 2 years post divorce.
His family chose his exwife side during the divorce.
By the time I started dating him, exwife had a boyfriend as well and was pulling away from her exILs. Today, they have no interaction. 
Once we were married, ILs tried to cozy back up with their son. It was too late. They burned that bridge.
Be careful what you do, OP. I get that you like exwife, but she isn’t family.

My story is very similar.  It's a little sad for DH and our kids.  I'm a nice person from a nice family, and my family welcomed DH and his kids with open arms, so now it's almost like their my extended family is our only family.  I can't take the lead in helping DH reconnect with his family because to him that would be a betrayal.  I hope he works through all the hard feelings because he is a good man, a loving and supportive father to both sets of kids, and he's a good son to his parents, who is financially supports and did even when they and his siblings were at their ugliest to him.  He and his ex wife were both unhappy in his first marriage for a long time before it imploded, but his ex wife made it her personal mission to make sure all their former friends, their children and his own family of origin blamed him.
