Hi Ladies,

Please no judgement, my ex in-laws are encroaching in my life.

There son cheated on me numerous times and is a classic narcissist. I found the courage to leave him after 7 years and moved back in with my dad to rebuild my life.

My dad recently died and I was left in the family hime with my kids living a happy life. I have met the most amazing man who is kind and supportive in everything I do. We have been together just over a year and things are going well.

However, my ex in laws keeps wanting to come over, phone and are really nosy when they come over. My new partner feels really unhappy about it and i have tried to tell them that I’ve lived on, but they still see me as family.

The ex MIL/FIL have been supportive during the breakdown of my marriage and help financially with the kids, but they are ruining my current relationship.

Do I just explain to them that the nature of our relationship has changed and that i am no longer a family member or ask them to back off a little?

In the meantime my current partner tells me that I need to harden up otherwise people will take advantage of me, but after all the years with my ex, it’s left me depressed and weak.

Thank you. X
