Hi Shadra, Thank you for making this forum. I have lived with my husband for 15 years and have been married to him for 10. The children are now 28 26 24 and 19. We all basically tolerate each other and sometimes have good moments, but they have serious loyalty issues, especially the oldest boy, 24. He is very cocky and shows me little respect. He doesn't show his father too much either. My husband, their father, is terrified to say too much to get them mad, etc. They are masters at emotional blackmail and have made me the bad guy for too long. I have always showed respect for them and have encouraged my husband's relationship with them. I'm really tired of their disrespct and using us when they want something. I am at the point that I really don't want to be around them very much. I have encouraged him to visit them alone and at their own house. Please advise and thank you.
