The other side of the Family

Since our seperation I have not heard from my stbx side of the family asking about our daughter. With the exception of his grandparents. I send pictures and updates to them. My stbx and I have no contact and I am torn. His parents have only called to make hateful remarks and not once asked about their grandchild. I have sent them some things but they never respond. I never refer to him and just keep emails focused on the baby. I would think that they would forward the emails and pictures to him so she knows how she's doing. Should I just give up? Or should I continue to try and facilitate a relationship?

Family is funny - with my ex's fam they knew I was telling them the truth about him but they still had to stand behind him - and that makes us the ????? enemy. Time will make the difference with any relationship that you might have with them. And you have no idea what he may have told them to make them stay away. Don't take it personally - but I would let them make the next move.

I think any divorce its awkward for the families. They say they will stay in touch and love you because you were apart of the family. In my case he is thier son, their loyalty has to be to him they need to be there for him no matter what. You have to understand its hard for them 2 and most will take the lead from their son or daughter. Its just awkward for everyone. I keep it friendly don't ask about the soon to be ex and called once and have left it to them to contact me in the future.

Mine dosen't call me either to talk to their grandaughter. She only talks to her when she visits her daddy. HTe whols side of the family used to leep really close contact with me pre break up . We had extravagant holidays and birthdays. They would all talk to me about the marital problems and agree with me to..."oh I know that is just how he is". When I got tired of it and left .....they are all shocked. Go figure.

I'm not sure. The other side of mine has made no contact with me period. I want to call Nannie as I love her dearly but I am afraid of being rejected. Yes, by her too. I don't know what I would do as I'm frozen as well. good luck though.
