Liar Liar

What do you do when someone lies? When you can't prove it? When it makes you look bad? We have a situation in my family where this is the case. There's been a rift in part of our family for 20 years. My oldest son is now stuck in the middle. The other part of the family is telling my son and his wife that we have not contacted them or tried to make amends. This isn't true. Ten years ago, I wrote a couple letters asking for forgiveness and if not forgiveness, at least for my in-laws to at least see the grandchildren, not to hold things against them. I got no answer except that they told my father they didn't want to talk to us. About four or five years ago, my husband called. He was told never ever to contact them again. Well, not so nicely. That's sorry enough. But now, they're telling my kids we didn't try, that everything is still our fault for not contacting them. Unfortunately, my son and daughter-in-law seem to believe them. I was ready to let this thing drop one way or another. I've hardly thought of it in years - what's the point? But it seems to me as if they're trying to play my son and daughter-in-law and grandchildren against me. I've told my son that we have tried to contact them, but he seems to believe them over us. My oldest son and his wife actually went up to their door a few years ago and now they're talking. They have more guts than us. Oh well... I really don't feel a loss over people who act like that. But I am mad that they're lying to my children and grandchildren.
