It’s easy to complain about the idiosyncrasies of family, until you don’t have any.
I am not married (24 yo) but also come from a small family - our holidays are myself, my parents, and my maternal grandmother and aunt. Dad's side is disbursed all over the country (and world) with some rough history, so we never see them. Mom's side is mostly still in NY and NJ, but at this point they're 2nd cousins or 1st cousins once removed at the closest, so not necessarily very close family. Her father died when I was pretty young (he was a great man), and her sister never had any kids. I do love the family I have, though. But, I do envision myself marrying into a larger family which you've described - sounds like an absolute blast. I know many people complain about family drama, but the thought of having dozens of people automatically built into your life and having some importance to them is really cool to me.
WOW this can’t be written in a TV drama series. I feel for you and your wife.My parents were taken to court by us, their first words to the judge when in the court room were “ we couldn’t choose who our son married “
In family court the party that instigated the court case are called applicants-us
The side that is required to appear are called respondents- my parents
We address them in conversations as the respondents
Not to be nosey but was scrolling through threads and came across this one and got kind of curious how things turned out. Reading it had all the makings of an eerily bad news story that the ends with, "then turned to gun on himself". Just kidding hope it all went well.

It's been a pretty decent week!

Congratulations on your loss.
Still waiting for that update,

I’m not judging , because there are certain things that could happen in my life that could get me there. I’m glad this is not the case for me. It’s just too bad, is all. 😞
Update…
Still don’t talk to my parents or sister.
Silence with parents since 2015
Silence with sister 2006
Last month I was visiting in a small town and was in a grocery store.The female respondant was in the same store. I paid for my goods and left as fast as I could.i heard she also had a stroke at the beginning of the year and doesn’t drive anymore. My sister was in a car waiting outside…..fuck what a day.
Haven’t lost any sleep at all
Your post is hard to understand.
Who is the female respondents?
Your post doesn't make sense.
The respondent in the store was his mom, and she had a stroke.
That’s correct.thank you for clearing that up before I could.
Family dynamics can be tough. I have a brother I haven't spoke to for decades...
...I miss somethings about him and other things remind me that it is best I keep my distance...
But hating someone so much that you "air-it-out" in a public forum about pissing on that someone's grave...
...Kenny, you said you wouldn't judge, so I will... ...that speaks to character...
...and that person should, in my opinion, have a look inward as to why he let's hate drive his life.
Others in this thread have let the tough family dynamics go and just put distance in between...
...a better approach, 'cause no matter how much some of our families can be tough to deal with...
...they are still your relations walking this planet and living their lives...
...again wishing death on family (and pissing on their grave) speaks to character.
I agree. And if you knew the history you’d probably flip your belief on which end of the character spectrum you think it lies on. It’s not based upon simple disagreements or petty arguments, trust me.
It’s none of my business about any details. Which is why I don’t want to be judgmental. It can be therapeutic to make statements like what you have in this thread about your father in law.
