[quote=Anonymous]You absolutely don't need to host anymore. And you are not responsible for your ex IL's feeling at all. But...you are forever connected to their family via your kids. There will be interaction, even if it is much more minimal moving forward. So, keep firm and practical. View any action you take as setting an example for your kids of a rational, boundary-setting but kind adult (I really wish my parents had!). Vent your anger and annoyance here, at therapy and/or to friends. Don't make your kids choose sides or act as your (or any other adult's) emotional support. It will all get easier as years pass. My parents divorce was absolutely for the best but the drama during it did some real damage and you can avoid a lot of that. I'm sorry you're going through this and it sounds like you've taken a brave step towards a new life![/quote]
