[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I showed DH this thread and we talked about it, he said he wanted me to post that he really appreciates all the feedback and 100% has assimilated it. We've discussed it and we are just not going to engage with them and do the slow fade. The update is that they still have not attempted to contact us and are obviously waiting for us to come crawling. [/quote]

My husband cut his parents out of his life about a year ago due to them fostering a very unhealthy relationship.  While it was hard for him at the time, he has been much happier since completely cutting them out and no longer dealing with the drama.  I had concerns about the kids relationship with their grandparents at the time, but in the end, grandparents don't have an inherent right to their grandkids.  Their first responsibility is to love and have a good relationship with their kids.  If they fail at this, they should not expect to be involved with their grandchildren.

I'm so sorry your family has gone through this.  I know it's hard to end a relationship with parents (even a horribly unhealthy one), but I hope your husband is happier after cutting off the relationship.[/quote]
