Do you almost dislike his/her relatives MORE than you dislike x? I'm quickly coming to that point. His mother, sister, and her two kids are fine but they have decided to "hide" their relationship with me from the rest of the family. It's kinda upset me but I understand a bit...x mil is taking a lot of crap from everyone else about being friendly with me (ok...we're great friends still who shop together, celebrate birthdays, etc.) X's grandmother keeps asking her why she's taking my side over x's. And X's grandmother also says that "it's too bad A and the kids had to be hurt but at least R is happy now". Makes me FURIOUS. X's brother has been threatening physical violence against me...x's sister called me and told me to make sure all of my doors are locked all the time. I am getting no true details so can't get a restraining order. X's sil is a complete fake witch...waving to me and acting all friendly and then saying mean things behind my back. X is a jerk and I can totally see where he gets that quality.
