Dear Queenie,
When our daughter got divorced she demanded that we not have anything to do with her ex or his family ever again.
We still like her ex and have been friends with his parents since before he and our daughter got married (that's how they met). We don't want to lose these friends just because our daughter went through a bad time with their son. But we don't want to be on the outs with our daughter either.
Queenie, what should we do?—Confused
Dear Confused,
Talk this over with your daughter. Explain your relationship with her former in-laws and try to make her understand that her problems with her ex have nothing to do with it.
If that doesn't work, you will have to choose between your daughter and your friends. Good luck.
