My partner and I have been together for 8 years and have a 5 month old son. My partners parents split up years ago when he was really young and both remarried. I get on fine with his Mum, but with his dad and stepmum things are quite strained, not just with me but my partner too. Stepmum always has to be in control matter what. My partner feels very uncomfortable around his Dad and feels like they just don't know each other. Lots of other things too have added to it over the years, too much to mention. Stepmum also has a daughter from a previous relationship who is the same age as us - I think she has a real problem with me. Since we've had our son both stepmum and stepsister have become more weird with me. We're friends on fb, but since having my son they seem to ignore any photos of him, especially stepsister. They used to be fine before. It's not about getting 'likes', I have a private account of family and close friends - it's the fact that he isn't being acknowledged at all, which hurts and is unfair on him. She literally lives on fb and posts every detail of her life on there. The only time she ever likes any of my photos/posts is when her Mum and stepdad are involved. I find it very weird that she does this and doesn't even acknowledge our son! With other members of the family (grandchildren) they are completely different - there's a lot of favouritism going on. I feel like sending her a message asking what the problem is. It's so noticeable that she is doing this. I don't know what I have done. So I just want to ask, what would you do in this situation? I'm fed up of it and a constant atmosphere, my partner never wants to see them. It's always me who has to organize things so that they see each other. Sick of it all.
Hope this all makes sense!
