I came to the realization that my sister doesn't like my children.

49. Family relations can be painful at times.

I've always had a wonderful relationship with my son, but his marriage to his second wife is taking a terrible toll on all of us. She's pathologically possessive and he's had to purge his Facebook page of all but a few of his co-workers, friends and her relatives. From our side of the family, she only allows him to have contact with my daughter and two cousins. She made him quit three jobs because she got jealous of some of the women he worked with. Now, he's even started to slack off in child visitations on my grandson from his first marriage because she complains that he doesn't pay enough attention to her kids when he only sees my grandson for two week-ends a month. I never would have envisioned a scenario like this four years ago. That my son would be in a relationship with someone who completely cuts him off from his family and has major drama issues if he tries to go against her.
