Life is getting somewhat back to the new normal. We no longer really have an extended family. There is a bit of sadness in that fact, but it really doesn't feel any different. When Hubby's grandparents died a few years ago, the extended family had started to see each other less and grow apart gradually naturally. And if I am being honest we had not felt that close to Hubby's brother and wife for quite awhile. She blocked our whole family on FB the first time Trump became President and the relationship has never been the same. The fact that our boys were never close to their uncle because he was an asshole to them does not escape us. We should have kicked him out of our home years ago.
M was kicked off of FB because the SIL reported him. I know that is not a big deal, but it is just one more nail she has hammered in.
I feel bad for my in laws though. They lost a son and 3 grandchildren due to the election. I say the election because everyone was fine until Trump won. Then the SIL lost her mind and drug my BIL along with her insanity.
I pray for them. There is not much else I can do. I forgive them because God told me to and He has given me peace in that. There is still a bit of anger when I think about it, so when I do think about it, I say a quick prayer and move on. Their anger towards our family is not my issue, it is theirs.
So life goes on and it is a good life. God has blessed up massively. And I am continuously grateful.
