[FONT=Comic Sans MS]I have been in a great reunion with my son and his family for over a year now. We had our first problem arise. :( They came to stay a few days, the whole family. We were having a great time until my son's wife overstepped her bounds in relation to how I run my household and the rules that I lay down. They are both really angry with me now and I am afraid I won't ever talk to them again, but I am adament that what I did in response to what she did was warranted. I really love the whole family and I have always gotten along with her, she has been a big help in the reunion. I really feel I have nothing to apologize and basically have decided to just let them be for now. I hate this occurrance, but as we all know even the most stable and lifelong relationships go through bad times. Guess I just wanted to vent. [/FONT]
[FONT="Garamond"][/FONT]Wow, sounds like you did a terrific job of doing the right thing by maintaining your boundaries to me! :banana: Jut because this relationship is beginning again doesn't mean we have to let people walk all over us (as if we should be grateful for anything?!) I'd say you acted in the best interest of you, and your home and were also a possitive role model to boot. Maybe they will figure out what their piece is, and learn from it. Hope so, good luck. :

[FONT=Century Gothic]Thanks so much for your comment, Yarrow1. I still haven't heard from them. It has been almost 2 months now. I did write a letter to them, not apologizing (I don't feel I have anything to apologize for), but telling them I loved them and stuff like that. I feel there is nothing left to do but to leave it to God now. I will just wait. I may be waiting forever, but what else is there to do. Thanks again.[/FONT]

I think its very brave of you not to Coward in fear- standing up for your self and home ( and boundaries) is very important. Its much easier to get along with people when you know where they stand.
I think you are so right, EmmaLeigh, but it still upsets me that they are that angry with me. All I can do is give it to the Lord.
You cant control how people will act or react... letting go of how they may feel will free you to love them more.

[FONT=Century Gothic]I don't have a problem loving them, however, now I think they have a problem loving me. Not much I can do about it. :([/FONT]
