My parents are getting older and I just want to be a part of their life. I always pictured happy family get togethers when I was young. Ever since I got married my parents keep thinking everything my wife or her parents do is some weird political game and have up until this week tried to cut us out of their lives. This week he literally told me he doesn’t want to be a part of my life anymore.
I’m sad that I’m not even hartbroken anymore. I’m not done trying with them, I hope I never am, but I am taking a break from feeling anything about it.
That sounds extremely difficult, sorry you’re dealing with that. I’d imagine at that age more parents would realize that their time on earth is getting shorter and to spend as much precious time with their own children as possible. It’s unfortunate they don’t sound very supportive of your marriage. I hope you are able to at least enjoy the company of your wife’s parents when you have the opportunity. Stay with the circle that supports you and values your presence.
