I need some perspective on this. have NC as details on previous username might out me and don't really want to be outed.
Got a 11 month old little boy, and next month we are having a humanist naming ceremony for him. It's been being planned for around six months and we've asked our sisters- me and DP have one each- to be guardians, which involves taking part in the ceremony.
DPs sister and he were previously close (as I am- very close- to my own sister) but since meeting her new boyfriend about six months ago she's become increasingly distant and offensive (he's very misoginistic, macho, a bit racist, pretty thick). She's become more and more involved with his terrible friends and is heavily involved in his hobbies (including some campaigning with UKIP. Charming!) telling you this so you understand what's going on in terms of her "moving away" from relationship with DP. Since all this she's increasingly uninterested in speaking to or seeing DP and our son (who, I should add, is her one and only niece/nephew).
Anyway she's just, over lunch, announced that she's booked a holiday with her boyfriend and it coincides with the naming ceremony. I was very, very angry and had to politely excuse myself before I said something I would regret, as this is the final straw for me... Six long months of mucking DP about and not bothering to get in touch to see him or our son. I know my DP is crushed. I'm not naive enough to think that the naming ceremony means as much to anyone else as it does to me and DP but I'm seething with rage and can't see a way forward for our relationship with her. Where do we go from here? All advice welcome. It doesn't help that I know my sister would never ever do anything like this.
