I agree that you have done all you can. It is up to them how they want to proceed from this point on. I wouldn't worry about hearing back from them at this point. Maybe FIL is thinking about what you said. Who knows. The thing is you can't do make them change how they are, all you can do is change how you react to them. If Dh wants to cut them off then so be it. They are his parents and its utimately his choice. All you can do is support his decision no matter what. Really I think that its better for both of you, mostly him to keep your lives as simple and as stress free as you can. If that means not seeing his parents or seeing them on a limited basis, then so be it. Your Dh's health is waaay more important then what his father wants.

I do not know what it must be like for you and your dh to be waiting on a transplant but my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please do not let this issue take up any more of your time and attention. You both need to be focused on each other and your husband getting well. I did get through one bout of cancer this year so I think I know that your dh would rather have you worry about him than his parents at this point. Obviously I have my own issues on this topic or I would not even be on this board. Believe me, I know how terrible it is not to have any support from your in-laws and to have them think that you have to "serve" them no matter what the situation is within your own home. If they don't get it now than they will never get it and it is not your purpose in life to teach them how to be human. Best of luck and may God be with you.

Thank you. Yes they are. This will be number three. We have two boys already, and from the grainy ultrasound, it looks like this is another boy. I am outnumbered. lol.

That is great. I wish my boys had two wonderful Grandmas. At least they have my Mom. I bet you cherish every moment you have with them.
