AIBU to feel let down that DH took the children to visit following his idea of NC

AIBU to feel let down again by this. So about nearly a year ago now, DH fell out with his sister and mother, a case of his DS quite obviously feeding a lot of rubish into their mothers head about DH and myself. It escalated to the point DH sister physically attacked him. From that point we decided his DS would have no contact with us or our children. This of course did not go down well with his DM and I of course was the one they blamed!! Apparently DH is “under the thumb” i was a “nasty one” i was accused of “getting what i wanted now” and a whole load of other crazy accusations, so following this we went no contact with his DM as well. Recently however i have found out from my eldest that DH has been taking them round to visit. This happened the first time and I asked DH that i thought we’d agreed to keep the kids out of things until his mother and sister could face up to things and have a decent adult convo to sort things out (Im not trying again as we have tried to have a convo before to sort things out and i was sworn out shouted at etc) and he said it wouldnt happen again and would have a word with his DM about sorting things. Just this morning however DH took the kids out for a while and eldest came back and told me that DH has “forced” them to go in to see their grandmother. I feel like DH just wants me to forget absolutely everything theyve done for a easy life!! Im usually such a forgiving person and let things slide and slide and slide, but this time i cant.

Jesus Christ!! @Coldjunedays is trying to protect her children from abusive relatives. Did you even read her posts? Her sister in law attacked her brother, grabbed her young nephew and pushed him into another room so she could continue to abuse her brother. In addition her in laws are bad mouthing her to her own children.
Her husband is FORCING ( children's words) her children to visit his family.
Since when has trying to protect your children become controlling?
@Coldjunedays you have a weak husband who's putting the welfare, health and safety of his children at risk. He is putting his abusive mother and sister before you and his children. Time for a very serious talk and clear boundaries otherwise it should be the high road for him

Your poor children.
Your husband is a two faced snake.

I wouldn't trust him as far as I would throw him.
Be very wary of such a liar.

Some posters are very frequently best ignored.

It sounds as though the apple didn't really fall far enough from the tree where your husband is concerned. His loyalities seem to lie with his toxic parents rather than you and your children.

He is allowing his parents to bad-mouth you in front of your children. He's an absolute snake and I'd be re-thinking the relationship with him.
