well husbands step son and wife haven't spoken to us in 5 years. they got married and had 2 children. All this we found out 3rd hand. Hubbys dad was seriously ill and step son got in touch 6 months after this. He knew full well what was going on .
Neither of us are interested . Its hubbys step son from his first marriage so nothing to do with me . I said its up to him if he wants to get back in touch . Ive been blamed for everything by this lads mum and now lack of contact is also being blamed on me. Ive learnt to keep quiet and not get involved with any of it as my words are twisted.
My step son (husbands son ) is now being cold with me and I am sure he is being "turned" by the other relatives.
In all honesty I think hubbys step son is thinking we have come into money . We have both got new cars and had work done on the house .He got in touch and asked if we would go with him to see husbands parents with us ! He wrote to hubby as if the last 5 years had not happened .He asked to make up. we have not replied to any messages .
I know people say life is too short but we just can t be doing with them especially now that they have kids. We know that if we did make up and got close to the kids there would eventually be fall out and they would be involved .AIBU to stay away ?

me and hubby had a chat last night. Hes not interested .says he was always told his step son was not his and nothing to do with him .As long as he sees his own son that's all he s worried about .
I asked if his exes son gets in touch again perhaps think about meeting him somewhere neutral and discuss things and see how it goes. He also said no to this. He said the whole side of his family have been ignored for years .Not even a card at Christmas for anyone .
we shall see what happens . I am not getting involved as I will be cast as the villain as usual . The lad has never liked me for whatever reason .His mum had split with my hubs long before we met . Ive never bad mouthed her .We got on well until our wedding
