[quote=Anonymous]I have a very similar situation to Op but it is my in laws and they live in the next town. My DC (only child, almost 18) has not seen them in about 2-3 years due to their outright verbal and emotional abusive treatment them and my DH (and me until I stopped visits). Plus they are always yelling at each other (their pure hatred of each other as spouses is very clear). MIL threatens divorce, FIL threatens self harm in retaliation. Recently (maybe it was Holiday nostalgia) DC asked if I thought they would see them again before they died. Mentioned maybe wanting to see them but also not wanting to visit due to previous abuse and likelihood of chaos even in a simple restaurant dinner outing. I told DC that I would support whatever they wanted- do I facilitate a visit, or let it be? DH is the same- in theory wants to see his parents but knows it opens up a whole host of issues. [/quote]
