[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so bad for the husband in this situation. Could you imagine wanting space from your extended family, for whatever reason(s), but your partner thinks they know better than you so undermine you and force the relationship? This is the foundation of a very unhealthy marriage. OP, you do not know better about your husband and his extended family than your husband. Find the relationships you want for yourself and your children with other people. [/quote]

OP is the one who knows her husband best and acknowledges he is a bit of a jerk.  Sometimes the ones we love and the most and trust have to be the ones to let us know when we’ve been out of line, owe someone an apology, should reach out etc.  None of us is perfect but we owe it to each other to be honest and supportive.  It’s not always the situation that being supportive means stepping back, and this is one of the more unusual in law situations where I can see where OP is coming from.  [/quote]

OP is a spouse, not a mirror.  Sometimes her husband will be wrong and do things that negatively impact their kids and vice versa.  And it's the spouses job to try to point that out and fix that the best they can.[/quote]
