[quote=Anonymous]Another view from the opposite side: ILs were opposed to DH and me marrying. They cut off contact after the wedding. DH tried repeatedly over the years to mend fences and try to bring the family back together. DH’s parents responded, but DH’s sibling didn’t. After the sibling had each child, DH sent a gift, again, to try to mend fences. We received the gifts returned to sender. Fast forward 30 years and the sibling who opposed the marriage is now divorced from their spouse. ILs are not speaking to the sibling. DH has a good relationship with sibling and nieces and nephews. Many family members stay away from ILs + sibling because they saw over the years how toxic they are. I’m sure sibling felt justified in their head for sending the gifts back, but their truth wasn’t THE truth. DH wasn’t being creepy or trying to manipulate or groom anyone. He just wanted his family back. OP, why is the sibling estranged? [/quote]
