Looking for advice

3yrs ago my husband and I made the decision to stop speaking to his mother and father. After years of them saying hurtful things, accusing me of beating our children, cheating on my husband the list goes on and on. We now have 2 more children since we last spoke to them. Every year around this time my husband’s brother always brings the topic up about my husband not speaking to their parents. This time it was that both parents are aging and their mother is in poor health and that my husband should just “get over it” and reach out to his parents. He said that their mom is all talk and no bite and she wouldn’t do anything in terms of going to the police with her crazy accusations. I’m really getting sick of this being brought up early year before Xmas. His brother is barley involved in our lives as it is so who’s he to talk. I’m just sick of it. Do you think we should start speaking to them again as their health is failing and they could be dead soon? We both are afraid to open that door again. There was just so much drama when they were involved I’d hate to go back there. What are your thoughts?
