[quote=Anonymous]I have no ILs either. My own parents are estranged. So we have no one. I try to see the pros and cons. Yes it's sad and sometimes my mind drifts to what could have been. Mostly I feel bad for my kids and I think part of their history is missing for them. On the pro side, my DH and I have no conflict over ILs! We are able to handle the holidays how we want and make our own traditions. And we have a lot more free time for our immediate family and our chosen family (close friends) because we don't have an extended family. No worries about taking care of them in old age either. The bottom line is you don't know what it would be like to have these people in your life and romanticizing it and missing it, while I totally get it, doesn't really accomplish much. Move forward and see the positive with what you have.[/quote]
