[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's difficult to find a last straw, because we never felt we had a relationship with my B/SIL.  They never visited and my brother would phone or email maybe once a year from his office.   Their children were strangers to us and would never speak to my child, who idolized them because they were older.  It is terribly hard for us to travel because my DC is physically disabled.  We would ask them to assist us with hotel arrangements, etc., and they would do nothing.  Finally we all met up and they chose a restaurant where we could not join them at the table because it could not accommodate my DC's wheelchair.  We were literally sitting by ourselves at a separate table!  My husband and I looked at each other and said "We are never coming back."  And we haven't.  I don't know if they have noticed.  I don't care.  My parents are very upset but I don't see a path to a relationship where none has ever been formed.[/quote]

How sad. What kind of jerks do not do everything possible to accommodate a child in these circumstances? I'm sorry PP. [/quote]
