I hope someone has ahd a similar experience and can help! Been married to DH for 4 months, together 2 years,he has a daughter by first marriage, I have 2 girls by first marriage. The five of us get on brilliantly as a family but my in laws seem to be doing their best to undermine us. When my husband left his first wife theings were very difficult and they fell out with her and even threatened to take her to court to get access to their grandaughter as she prevented them seeing her. We asked them not to and to just see how things pan out, even though we were on the point of taking her to court ourselves for contact and also for continual harrassment, as we thought it would make things difficult for my stepdaughter. We have had terrible problems over contact but eventually things are getting better and my step daughter visits regularly. Sometimes, one weekend in 5 when my husband works she goes to my parents in law and sometimes she stays with me and my girls. My in laws seem to resent this, wanting all of this contact to themselves and recently have approached my husbands ex wife and told her we are denying them access by doing this, which was golddust to her as she loves to create trouble. We had no idea they felt this way as they have never approached us and had to hear it from the ex wife. They do see their granddaughter in my husband's contact time but obviously not as much as they would like, but I am hurt they didn't talk to us first. My husband's ex wife is now cutting his contact time and giving this time to my in laws instead, which is breaking his heart.I know she is doing this to hurt us, not because she cares for my in laws feelings. His parents are accepting this time freely without telling him and without thinking how he feels, and seem to have conveniently forgotten that his ex wife prevented them from seeing their grandaughter in the first place! The situation is also made worse by dh's sister, who resents me and my daughters having such a good relationship with my stepdaughter and has said to my face that my children are different to her niece and should be treated differently. I am also pregnant and just don't know how things will be when the baby arrives and my in laws insist on treating my 2 daughters differently to the baby. In our eyes all our children are equal. Please help.
