[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, while I would happily cut contact, DH is insistent that we can't. DH feels he is in debt to MIL and FIL for paying for college and has made it clear that he will start divorce proceedings and take the kids should I press the issue. He thinks that going no contact would hurt DS14 and that we should be trying to improve DS15's relationship with his grandparents, not cutting it out. [/quote]

Your sons are old enough to have a say in who they spend time with. It is an empty threat by DH that he could 'take the kids.' BS. DH was raised by this pair and is probably warped and only too accustomed to dysfunction.  OP, you need to forge a separate bond between yourself and your sons and help repair their relationship with each other. The two of them will know each other many years down the road and what you do now can make a big difference.

Meanwhile go read about the Golden Child and the Scapegoat. There is plenty of stuff out there about this sort of dysfunctional pitting of siblings against each other. Is your DH the Golden Child in his generation?[/quote]
