I put a post up a while ago regarding my OH family, they have always caused trouble. I will add it on to the post so people can view instead of me writing it all again.

Unfortunately things have still not improved and his sister has still blocked me, she message my OH and just acts like she hasn't done anything wrong. His mother is still making out I don't exist whenever she messages my OH, she is asking him to go to family events still but doesn't include me but just asked him and our DD to go. He has since blocked her and his stepdad as he message my OH pretty much blaming us again. (He is quite passive aggressive)

It really upsets me all this as obviously we have our DD to think about but I've never known such a family.

We're at our wits end with them as my OH has sent multiple messages to his mother saying don't treat me like I don't exist and he won't go to any of the events without me but she keeps asking him so hence why she's now blocked.
They're just not listening to anything my OH is saying.

We just don't know how to get our point across. But for now I've cut them all out including his extended family as they have turned all cold towards us and never like any photos or anything to do with our DD :( which I think is so sad as don't take it out on a child

I've read both threads and there is a lot of focus on social media / photos / blocking. The not liking of photos isn't your problem, it's the family and your partner. He hasn't interjected early enough to put a stop to the behaviour of his family. He needs to have a phone call with his mother explain that enough is enough and if they want to treat you as thought you don't exist, then they'll never be a part of either of your lives again.

Your SIL sounds like she's behaving like a child and has frankly done you a favour by binning you off.

Thanks for reply. I think they are all immature and think by doing stuff on social media is clever when actually it's showing their true colours and maturity.

I agree I think he needs to tell them once and for all as it's gone too far now.

I know she's acting like child, she's always been this way tbh and runs away from problems she creates 😏

To be honest it sounds like going no contact would be best for you all. It is sad and they will be missing out but you cannot change their actions only how you react to them and they will then feed off that - give them nothing.
