SIL excluded DSS from family photo

[EMS23]

It's just a rant, she's a witch and has form for this sort of bitchy crap but I can't have it out with her as my parents can't cope with the fallout when she inevitably punishes them by withholding visits of her kids.

At a family event yday, my mum had organised and paid for a professional photographer and SIL tried to engineer it so that my DSS was excluded from the grandchildren photo.

She knows full well my parents consider him their own grandchild. He's been in my life for 10 years and lives with us 50/50. He's as much my family as my own children. My children are his siblings. How bloody could she?
Arrgh, I'm so angry. Thank god he was oblivious. And his mum, who I get on well with, would be so upset if she got wind of this. She and her whole family treat our kids like their own and they're not even her step children.
I flipping hate my SIL sometimes!!

No. The deal was that I stayed out of her life completely. It was right for her to build bridges with her siblings who were brought up by their Mum - and have a role in the lives of her nieces and nephews.

Why was it all or nothing? Seems very cruel. Bet she misses you a lot.
