A few of my wife's relatives have become markedly less friendly to me since our daughter was born (not that they were ever mad keen on me before...because of the whole 'lesbian thing').
We were with everyone for Easter yesterday and one of these relatives starting talking to my wife about an upcoming event for DD and not including me in the conversation even though I was standing right there (and was trying to join in).
She later brought around presents for everyone apart from me and my DS (everyone else had got presents for all of us but she only got them for DW and DD).
When we first saw her after DD was born, she warmly congratulated DW and then turned to me and said 'oh I suppose it's congratulations for you too, isn't it' in a flat tone.
Another relative will now only grudgingly say hello to me and makes a big show of how DW is DD's 'mamma', ignoring DW whenever she says 'yes, I'm DD's mummy and CalonHapus is her mami'.
I don't know if they're just passive-aggressively 'telling' me that they don't consider me to be DD's parent?!
It has really hurt and upset me and has left a dark cloud over an otherwise really lovely celebration. I don't want to feel so affected. Objectively I know that their opinions have no bearing on anything - I will continue being DD's mami regardless of what they think about that - but I don't want them living rent-free in my head like this.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and managed to find a (healthy) way to deal with it?
