Somehow I get comfort knowing I'm not alone!

Things were always "iffy" between hubby's sisters, but when his mom died? wow! The funeral director said in his 30 years of working with berieved families, his sisters were by far the WORST he's ever encountered. They take being witches to a whole new level

They keep saying we don't keep MILs memory alive... but we DO. We have Thanksgiving and Easter at our house just like they always did. We celebrate all the holidays just like they always did, with one exception: we go to MY mom's on Christmas Eve, which is the one family tradition we kept of MY side. I always had Easter and Thanksgiving with my family until I married hubby.... but do they stop to consider MY family might want ONE holiday with us??? Noooooo.

Things hit the fan last spring when son had that wonderful newspaper article. They FLIPPED out because the article did not mention MIL's influence on my son. We DID, but it is not OUR fault the reporter decided not to mention it in the article! You should have seen the LETTER (not even a phoine call or in-person visit) they sent to son about how disappointed they are in him, telling him how bad he is and what an ungrateful, selfish youing man he is. To know my son, you'd know that cut him right into the heart. Hubby feels they can say and do what they want to him, but don't attack his kids. We have avoided them since that letter.

In the meantime, the one SIL we talk to has been trying to talk sense into her sisters. She flat-out says they are soooo wrong, but kshe knows her stubborn sisters won't ever see it. Pity.
