[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are in therapy, you might want to examine the language that you choose to tell yourself family narratives. "Indifferent" is a very strong word. Happiness in life comes from both understanding that we cannot control other people and in managing expectations. It might be good for you examine your relationship with your dad, unresolved feelings and any genetic tendencies re: anxiety or depression that might be impacting how you are framing this issue. In a divorced family where your dad struggled with mental health issues your grandparents were even more important to you. But your children have a stable and healthy family unit, no? So "nice but not necessary and ILs get to set their own level of involvement. [/quote]
