Should I reconnect with my sister-in-law on my husband’s behalf?
My husband’s sister wanted space from the whole family a short while back, something about my father-in-law’s toxicity. We don’t know a lot of people and I can use all the family I can have.
I was thinking of reaching out, but I’m worried I’d be overstepping and somehow make things worse. The rest of the family seems to have tried a little but there doesn’t seem to be much of a timeline on this.
We’re arabs, so this is unusual to say the least.
Plus my son’s first birthday’s coming up and I’d really love it for her and her kids to be there.
I was thinking of reaching out to my mother-in-law who may be the only person she responds to right now.
Any insight?

@Hajer Jiji That’s lovely, I’m glad things are better 🤍 I’m personally discouraged as she doesn’t even respond to holiday greetings. I tried having my husband reach out more but he’s had no response. I hope she’s alright above all.
Thank you! It’s okay some relationships are complicated, maybe she will reach out when she’s ready! You have a big heart ❤️
@Hajer Jiji I hope so 🤍

I understand as an Arab we don’t pull away from family but I did it a while back bc some family members just are toxic to my own small family that was huge my mother stood by me and one off my cousins whom I was not talking or seeing for that time reach out after and now we talk again. I suggest that reach out and see what she has to say nothing like family 🥰
