To not want anything to do with exH family anymore

[Shouldknowbetter2015]

Long story short: exH convicted of an unforgivable crime. I knew nothing about his secret life. I left him immediately & my family helped pick up the pieces of my & my two DCs lives. We had to move & they supported all this. At first my I laws were shocked & supportive, but as time went on & we moved away they have become less & less involved in mine & my DCs lives. I always encouraged visits, contact etc., but they never seemed bothered. I've had a hard time, but thanks to my parents' & family's loving support, both emotional & financial, I've rebuilt our lives, my dc are settled & happy & I've got a new career. Haven't seen ex inlaws in over a year, they've never offered any help for the devastation their son caused me. But they want to see the dc (not me, I hasten to add - request was specifically to see 'the children') over Christmas. I want to tell them to Foff - they have done f all to support me and my dc. They have no idea how hard my life is at times & have never bothered to ask me how I am. Their loyalty is with their criminal son. And my oldest doesn't want to see them either. Do I tell them outright I don't want anything to do with them? Or just keep ignoring them? Advice please!

I agree with mmmmcake that it might be a sneaky way to let ex back in. I'd leave it for now with a polite but firm msg. If they're insistent I'd be inclined to take legal advice. Good luck.

Thank you for your continued support ladies. I've taken the route of just ignoring them (as I've done for past 15months!). I definitely would NOT allow them to see kids unsupervised, and i definitely DON'T want to see them, ergo no contact :). For information ex H not seen or had contact with me or kids for nearly 4 yrs. We are safe, happy & have rebuilt our lives with love & support from my family. NOT because of anything his family have done.

Did you Ex go to prison for his crimes, is it possible he is now out and wants to see his children and his parents are acting as a go between.
