i understand this. i am not divorced nor are my parents. i honestly had NO friends or relatives who were divorced growing up. it was SHOCKING when i met my now dh and started spending time around his divorced parents. it's awkward at best, and hostile at worst. mil won't be in the same room as fil unless she absolutely has to. i've seen fil walk up to mil to wish her happy holidays, and mil tells him to "go to hell." at my wedding, mil would not even stand up at the front with my parents or her ex husband when our families gave toasts. it's strange to me and stressful.

You should see my wedding pictures. My ILs look so miserable. They couldn't even crack a smile.  It looks so awkward. My husband does not speak to his step father. There is a palpable tension between my husband and his mother, it's like a cold war, and there is occasional sniping.  When she calls, he puts the kids on the phone with her and ignores her. My husband does not really speak to his step mother either, so she winds up interrogating anyone else in the room just to fill the air with something.[/quote]
