I suspect it’s because of something she said to the in-laws.
Long ago, we dated in college for a couple years, but “life” got in the way and we drifted apart.
Here’s the “kicker”: Siena had polio long ago , completely paralyzing both of her legs, and she uses long-leg braces and forearm crutches to walk. Evidently, there are some anti-vaxxers in my son-in-law’s family, and Siena’s comment must have offended one or more of them.We’re fine not attending the party, but do you think I should have a discussion with my daughter about Siena’s “banishment,” or should I let it slide by to ensure peace with the in-laws?
You and Siena are together, and so Siena is coming into your daughter’s family. The same dynamic that has you wanting to keep the peace with your in-laws also extends to your daughter, who should extend kindness toward your partner. My girlfriend is eager to retire early. She sees this as life-changing, and we are talking about the best way to spend it.My reaction is: This is not your girlfriend’s money to dream about. It is yours.
