[quote=Anonymous]My relationship with them has steadily improved over 20 years. First off, I am no longer a newlywed who is trying to carve out my turf with regards to my DH. I have matured. Second, I came to realize that I married into a family and those people became my family - they are my DH's parents and my DCs' grandparents. Where I was raised, families try to work through things. Third, I saw how much the tension stressed out my DH. He is a good man and he did not deserve being placed in the middle. I had to swallow some pride and so did they, but we did because of our mutual love for DH. Finally and this is the kicker, they are absolute dreams with my DC's. They will do anything for their children and grandchildren. In looking back on my situation and others involving relatives and friends, my mother would say that with IL issues, there is blame on BOTH sides. She was right. [/quote]
