Is it something from the past?

“Sometimes we have to ask ourselves, our dislike for the in-laws, is it about something that my spouse told me about his parents? You can judge them because of your partner’s experiences growing up with those parents as a child,” Dumaz says. “You can feel ‘I can’t believe they did that’ and it can change how we view our in-laws. Ask yourself, ‘If these are things my partner told me about his upbringing, are his parents still like that today? Is there space in there for mercy and grace? If my in-laws are no longer showing up that way as a parent to my significant other, or even as grandparents…can I forgive them? Has my significant other forgiven them?’”
