[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well that sounds rough.  Does stepfather have children of his own?[/quote]

He does but hasn’t seen them for decades. He reconnected with one of his daughters at his mother’s funeral recently.

We are on good terms with him.[/quote]

Well, he's probably a difficult person or has some issues. I'd think there's a lot going on here that you don't know.

Or [b]he's been a crappy caregiver when she needs it, [/b]and she doesn't want to sign on for that any longer since he won't.[/quote]

I’m inclined to this theory.

You are definitely wrong. The degree of other posters assuming incorrect facts from their own personal lives means that this thread has run its course.[/quote]

As a general rule, children (all, not just one of them) do not cut off contact with their parent unless the parent has done something pretty bad.
As a general rule, one spouse does not seek divorce unless the other has done something pretty bad.

When you have BOTH of these things, I PROCLAIM that it is very reasonable to conclude that there is something that FIL is doing to cause people to want to cut ties with him.  Your MIL and all of his children thought so.[/quote]
