Glad to hear you are happy...

Quote From: paris38

  We have been married 16 years and my husband has allways stood by my side.  My inlaws asked my husband to choose and he did. It has been 9 years since we have seen or spoken to my husbands parents.  His mother was verbaly and emotionally  toxic. We had already put boundries in place for several years and my husband never once took her side.  I never would ingage in verbal attacks I do not believe these help either side.  I also think it is bad on a marriage to put down ones parents.  This was a decission we made very carefully and it is not to be done in the heat of a moment. We know we made the right decission and his other sibbling did the same last year as her husband was a taget for years they are so happy now.  We also moved 2800.oo miles away.

It sounds like we are in the similar situation.  We are now at the point where have stopped speaking with the toxic in-laws.  Both the emotional and verbal abuse had to stop.  When we didn't answer the phone, they sent letters, or even worse, turned thier own daughter and her husband "against us".  Dramatic sounding I know, but not sure how else to discribe it. 

  

Love my husband SO MUCH, and blessed to have him in my life and support me.  We have thought about moving, and maybe that to will help even more. 

  

It feels like we are making the right choice.  Glad it has worked for you, and I can only hope my husbands siblings see that life is so much easier without the chaos too.
