Thankfully I have never had that problem. But I am going to assume that I would just stop having anything to do with them.
Tell her it's YOUR house, and if she can't treat you with respect, then she can leave.
She's old enough to start acting like an adult. You don't have to like someone to treat them with the same respect that you want others to treat you with.
Damn (insert football team name here, lol) fans!!:eviltongue:
Then you're gonna have to go off the deep end, on both of them. lol
If it were me, I'd stop going to their house.
I'd go away with some friends, when she comes to visit. I wouldn't sit home and be miserable in my own home.
And I'd keep doing it that way UNTIL he does say something to her.
I doubt very much that you're disrespectful to any of them when you go to their house. I'd expect the same in mine.
but I look at it as if I leave MY HOME then she has won and got exactly as she wanted. So I put on a smile and just suck it up. I will not let her think she has won!
I would retire to my room with a cup of hot tea and a good book ... ignore them and refuse to feed the drama
Ok I am guessing a post must have been edited or deleted?
Reading just the first 4 posts it appears a lot of stuff must have been deleted/edited to get from "when you have a family member that you have tried for years to just have a relationship with and they do everything possible to make it difficult, what do you do then?"
To your reply: Tell her it's YOUR house, and if she can't treat you with respect, then she can leave.

I just can't figure how you had that info such as it was a female and her age that was not mentioned in the above 2 posts.
