My dad and stepmom don't get it either. I have explained patiently about the benefits to our son. That WE want it and are comfortable with it. That we think it is a good thing. My dad says nothing, but then even after a full explanation my stepmom said, "but don't you really wish she would just move on and discontinue contact?" I said again, no. We want her to have peace with her decision but we want her in our lives. Still, she said, "but wouldn't it be so much easier without contact?" And all I could think was, yeah it would be easier only because I wouldn't be having this stupid conversation with you. sigh. I bring it up less but still make sure they know this is the way it is. This is how we are doing it. Like it or not.
Good luck!!
