Family and Friends Forum

Hi, we have a few family members who initially vowed to be supportive and be there for us, however they seem to be keeping us at arms length and backing off, not contacting us etc.

I know people will have their own opinions but Im struggling as me and the children have done nothing wrong and with Xmas almost here, I am thinking about exchanging pressents etc, especially the children.

how shall my partner or I broach this with them? I'd rather they just say we are cutting you out of our lives (even though id be really upset id rather know where we stand and what they are thinking). How can we word it? X
