Widow to widow, you are not being selfish by not letting his family treat you like c**p. I had to cut off some of his family and it was not harder than being treated like c**p because "they are grieving." We are ALL grieving. I just chose not to weaponize it.

‘Hardcore Vegan’ Thinks She Can Shame Everyone At BBQ, Gets A Reality Check That Drives Her Mad

This post made me sad and I can't help feeling that the drama could have been avoided with a few conversations. Firstly, if you knew she was vegan, why didn't you have plant based burgers & sausages available? They're really easy to find, it's common courtesy to cater to your guests and even non vegans might enjoy them, so a packet or two at that first BBQ would have been decent, on your part. You even admitted that even the salads weren't vegan, and all you needed to do there was not add animal products to vegan food. Is she a new vegan?people can be a bit overly enthusiastic in the early days. A quiet word from her brother about not being so vocal might have been an idea. Scheduling the next BBQ while she was away was an OK move- it's not like your life revolves around her, you are allowed to contunue with your lives while she's on holiday, LOL. But excluding her from future events is pretty harsh. Telling her she's welcome, catering for her, in suitable quantities (because meat eaters, even the vegan bashers, sometimes eat the vegan food!) & clearly stating all dietary choices will be respected, might be a way forward.

Totally agree. It sounds like you had a rough time, I'm sorry to hear that. I am so heartbroken for my kids losing their dad. He was amazing and is a huge loss. I'm doing my best to give them the best life I can, without him. I'd hoped that his family could be a part of that, but they've just made an awful situation even more difficult and unpleasant.
