[quote=Anonymous]OP, based on your details above it does not seem as though your parents would be called abusive.

So it is obvious to me that you are CHOOSING to be closer to your ILs rather than your own parents. You are CHOOSING actions which exclude your parents.

Why is that?

You make it a point to show what living saints the ILs are, "...got nothing but nice comments from my ILs in response." as opposed to your grumpy dad's.  Well, platitudes come easy when you are the one on top - which is what the ILs are and they KNOW it.

You make it very clear you frequently go to the ILs in Chicago. Is there a reason you can't take a longer vacation to visit your parents, other than YOU find it boring there?

This isn't all about the kids, either. Keep in mind that YOU are your parents' child and they don't get to see you enough. Not to mention develop a relationship with your kids.

How would you feel if you were in their position? Would you be happy seeing your own child, and grandchildren, maybe once a year for a couple of days? And will you then verbally jump up and down and be supportive when they frequently go to their spouse's family?
