I would normally post this in stately homers but decided to put here to get all views on this.
It is Dhs birthday today, we are estranged from the pils due to their toxic behaviours and broken promises.
We parted ways mainly due to fil & mil verbally abusing my children and also because it came out dh was beaten by fil.
These are not the type of people I wanted my children growing up around and their influences on dh leave much to be desired.
He chose to stop seeing them because they would always bring up my reluctance to allow them access to our children & would slag me off and make guilt trips, which in turn led him to quit seeing them.
Although he doesn't visit them anymore they still have a strong hold over him emotionally and he quite often feels strong guilt.
Anyway a birthday card was handposted today and I decided to open it.
In it is not just a normal birthday greeting, its a whole letter pleading to see us all, with guilt trips and woh is me written all over it.
I decided to hide it away and maybe bin it later as the card isn't about his special day, it's about what mil wants. Quite frankly I don't want him guilt tripped on his own birthday and made to feel sad.
Aibu? If it was a normal greeting I wouldn't hesitate to give it to him, but why this on his birthday of all days.
Why not send a letter & change their ways??
