[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 743598, member: 18958"] I agree with Apple and SWOT. With all of this: Sometimes the quickest, most direct and best way to handle a problem is to go directly through it. You have committed yourself to one more event with this family and to preserve family harmony it seems like the best way to deal with it, is to fulfil the commitment, at the same time, preserving your home and your family. By doing this, you define as your aim, as your most important result, the preserving of tranquility and confidence within the family. Which is more important than things. It takes a big person to do this. We have explored all the possible alternatives on this thread and not one other option seems as mature, risk-free, and responsible as this one. If you can choose to do this, without resentment, and taking responsibility for the choice, I believe too this might be the best course. But you would have to assume full responsibility for whatever happens. I do not know if I could or would do this, to my discredit. These people are not your friends but they are centrally important to your daughter in law and son. I don't think their peculiarities bear on the commitment, unless they are unsafe people. And if so, that is another story. I do not think you have any obligation beyond this further event that is scheduled. [/QUOTE]
