Can't wait to see all of these people when they are the in-laws and parents of adult children... They will probably also reap what they sowed with their example.[/quote]

I think you need to realize that, in the vast majority of cases, the parents have greatly contributed to these problems- and often refuse to work to help fix the relationship.

I know that with my DH, his strained relationship with his parents could be fixed ANY time, even after having a poor relationship for his entire adult life. How? A genuine apology and agreeing to stop openly criticizing him and saying such awful things. Any time. The issue is they genuinely don’t see that they have done anything wrong or have anything to apologize for or anything they should change- it is DHs fault for being offended. There is not anything to be done in this circumstance beyond what DH is already doing- keeping them well at arms length with only polite low contact. He’s tried the rest. It doesn’t work.

You really can’t understand that? I’m honestly asking. What would you have “adult children” like this do? The parent is basically saying “I will treat you how I like, won’t stop berating you, and will never change/ I don’t care if you feel hurt” . How often is he supposed to subject himself to that?
