There is nothing to be done to change the attitudes of her fiancé's disapproving adult children. Dear Abby advises staying out of the line of fire.
I am a divorced woman. My fiancé, “Keith,” is a widower. My two younger children have accepted and love him. My oldest daughter is slowly coming around. However, Keith’s adult adopted sons and daughter are making it hard. One son has refused to have any contact with his father since his mom’s death three years ago. The other son and daughter have been causing A LOT of pain because of their hatred toward Keith and me.
Keith and I argue more now, and I’m so overwhelmed and stressed that I’m often in tears. What can I do to get his son and daughter off our case? We have known each other more than 20 years and have been a couple for a year and a half.There is nothing you can do to change the attitudes of your fiancé's adult children. You can, however, stay out of the line of fire. I wish you had mentioned what caused the hard feelings from Keith’s children.
Because this is causing the two of you so much stress and pain that it’s affecting your relationship, ask your physician to refer you to a licensed marriage and family therapist to help you both through this very unpleasant patch.Dear Abby: Your thoughts? 11 years after my son’s wedding, a slight at his reception remains troubling
