[quote=Anonymous]I feel, ugh, reading your post OP.  Marriage is not a zero-sum game.  If other people love and include your DH or his kids in things, it is not a statement about you.  Just because the kids got a piece of pie doesn't mean you have to feel angry because you didn't get the whole pie yourself.  Anyway, a healthy family doesn't view love like a piece of pie.  It's not an exhaustible product.  You don't have to fight to get all of it.

My ex's new wife is doing the same thing you are -- trying to ensure that she is present at all times when they are with him or his side of the family and trying to prevent them from having their own relationship with his family without her intercession (and thus, control).  They see right thru her.  They are nice to her face, but they realize that she is the one that has begun to limit their time with him and his family.   Of course, he is their Dad, so they don't want to consciously acknowledge his role in this.  Although, it is clear that the older child understands that he is accepting this and thinks that it is OK.  Sadly, the ex-wife just comes out looking like the evil one.
