Tough decision remember kids don't see that they will pick up on resentment you harbor. I call my ex my sweet lovely ex wife why because my daughter will never hear me say a negative word about her mother. Always take the higher road your child will see the difference your child will choose the difference but if your child sees you acting in a bad way then they will hold that against you. And they know at a far younger age than you would ever give them credit for.

I think you are much better off that your son's pictures are not on any social media. It is a way to protect him not only from your in-laws but also from potential predators.

Honestly, I do have a hard time understanding why anyone would post pictures of children on any social media. The world is full of perverts and other toxic people.

If your in-laws don't appreciate your child, it is also directly a slap in the face of your husband because they indicate that he is less valued than his own siblings in their eyes.

Not knowing the whole background, but the fact that your FIL is about to get out of prison !! To me, that is a good reason to keep your son at a good, protective distance. Do what is best for your son.

You're doing the right thing. You,your husband and your beautiful children deserve respect. Treating you worse than they treat other people is not respect. Let them reap what they sow,less than the bare minimum.

I went through the very same thing & kept my kids away from those people. With no regrets.

I don’t have kid but if I did, I wouldn’t want their photos on Facebook. especially where some of those people have been in jail

I understand and you have the right to protect your son from negativity

just based on what you have here I would say you are doing the right thing

If you want your son to have no contact, that should also include you as well. Block them on all your shared social media and stop snooping on them.

That's your decision to make. If that's how you feel, you have every right to.

I cannot blame you. Have you tried to find out why they treat him so differently?
