Asking Eric: My son dated her a few times, and that’s when the trouble started

Dear Eric: My husband has two sisters. One sister’s adult son and daughter have always been mean to me.

It started when the niece and my son from my first marriage dated about five times. She talks negatively about everyone and everything.

My son told me he did not want to cause any family problems, but he also did not want to continue to date her. I told him, do what you need to do as far as dating.

Now, 20 years later, she and her brother are still rude and condescending toward me.
