Glad seeing this topic. Helps me in more ways than you know. As we all are aware, Climate in the country intense. Without discussing suffice to say, Son and DIL verbally attacked me, Not asking anyone feel sorry for me. Proud of my choice and make no apologies. What started with different topic ended up hurtful things said about my deceased ex husband. So much so! My plans visiting next month are no longer. Used to be the type of person to fix everything! Make it right even when not my fault. No longer live that way. Love the saying- "Let go or be dragged" So be it.

@Sweet_Serenity Good for you. You don't need them. Families shouldn't have nasty attitudes with one another. Go about your business and forget about them. Let them apologize.

We don't speak about the climate in our country in our family. Keeps everyone happy as we all respect one another.

I wasn't the one who brought the subject up. When they crossed the line that was beginning of the door closing. Will not have anyone say hurtful things about someone I chose supprting. I'm good! Have no regrets. 8yrs stood silent respected the choice made. Merry Christmas and Happy Blessed New Year!💗

This all got started about 4 years ago at a family reunion. My husband has a big Irish Catholic family. A pr of sisters that are his cousins, decided to hold a reunion at one of their homes, out in the country. The even got a couple of porta pottys because it was a big gathering.

My husband and I, nor his brothers, were able to attend. That didn't stop cousin Bill from tracking us down.
He went to our parish church ,and decided he didn't like the condition of the shrine ,our Grandfather had built, in a pocket park, across the street from the church. It is really fine, but it could use a new statue. He contacted the parish priest about it, and suggested my husband head up this project

The priest told him it wasn't in their budget. My husband told Cousin Bill he had no intention of getting involved. None of us even live in the same city any longer.

My husband has another, male cousin, who is able to help out our sick cousins wife. He goes over to her home and sets with her husband once a week ,to let her go out and do her errands.He and his cousin with dementia were very close as kids.

Thanks for all the help. I feel better just getting this off my chest.

I hope now he has pot stirred, yet once again, we won't hear from him in a while

@cherry

It is difficult to say, but ignore him. And screen your calls do he cannot talk to you. Tough love.

If it's anything like you've said here, they have a right to feel the way they do.
You are very narrow minded in your views which is your right but if you knew your son and his wife at all, you had to know how they would react. That is if you respected their feelings about the "Country's Climate".
You owe them an apology.

@Melania

i agree with you. We abide by the longstanding etiquette guideline to avoid religion, politics or other such issues which will only cause arguments, resentment, etc.

Could be some type of DNA/genes from hundreds/thousands of years ago. Same with animals; some (say, dogs) are nice, gentle. Others are a bit more 'wild' (aggressive) by nature. Same with humans. It's in their genes, personality-wise. We can't all be the same (robotic-like). There's almost always/often one in a family that is considered a 'trouble-maker' (whatever that means). Maybe I should say 'aggressive' instead.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Actually I think you should say PITA

Amazing to me! How people read what they want. Never started nor pursed. No resentment on my part. My heart rejoices with the outcome of current events. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎄💃🎄🎅🎄
