[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 765021, member: 19522"] Hi Newstart, Oh boy, I hope the visit will go smoothly…… So sorry your cruise did not work out. Yup, my father in law was a doozy. The thing was, he was not awful all of the time, but he did some awful things and I knew too much. I was outspoken about his abuse to my mother in law and he bluntly told me one day that “people like you get shot.” So yes, there was that. I think the hardest part with extremely dysfunctional families is the covering up and moving on like nothing happened. I did have my moments Newstart, because some things are just intolerable. But, I knew that it was a losing battle trying to fight having him around here and there. I did lay down some ground rules. It is not easy to set aside our own feelings and trepidation for our partners sake. I am glad you have made peace with the situation and hubs has noticed. Hopefully he will understand how you feel and communicate with you before opening up your home to others. What a lovely idea, Newstart. I had a hard time letting hubs things go. Then I didn’t. It was a bit healing to go through his things and give to our children what they wanted. I think you have an awesome plan. I’m glad your daughter learned from the boundaries that you set. The week is nearly over and I pray that it was tolerable and your guest behaved! Hugs New Leaf [/QUOTE]
