Hi guys. Would like some other opinions. Myself and partner moved closer to my family (40 miles away from where we were previously) so that I could build a relationship with my dad, dad hasn't been in my life for many years so the past few years we have regularly met up and kept in contact etc. I have a young brother (8 years old) very big age gap, but my dad said with time we will be introduced etc, this was a long time ago. Everytime we met up he would say step mum still not ready to introduce me. (step mum hates my mum, haven't had contact with my mum for many months now) little brother doesn't know I exist.
So technically now myself and partner are isolated, hardly see family when we moved here to build a relationship, still situation not improving with step mum when I said I would meet her for coffee so we can have a chat etc etc. Everyone in my family (aunts and cousins) think this is wrong but nobody mentions this to my dad, I have now left family group chat.
I'm currently grieving my son and could do with their support but noone makes contact, I feel distraught and alone. Aibu?
