No.

As another said,

My wife and her family are very close. A good wholesome family. So, seeing them regularly and talking to her parents everyday was normal.

My childhood was not so wholesome. I actually went months without speaking to my mother or sisters. Even not seeing them for a several years.

Her thinking my lack of communication was out of the ordinary, whats wrong with me that I would chose to disassociate with my family? She always poked and proded for answers on why I was this way. I gave her the short version each time. Which in hindsight, I could have beem more forthcoming. But when I try to explain in more detail, I would become enraged, just stop and walk away.

It wasn't until we were married for around 10 years. My mother came to visit when I was working. My mother admitted to my wife why she was trying to make amends. How she now understands her treatment of me was detrimental. How sorry she was for what occurred. That she knew why I never called or spent time with her or my sister's. And how our relationship will never improve.

She just skimmed the surface, but my wife finally stopped asking me why. I dont know why, but my mother admitting this helped me be more open when my wife wanted to know something. The details made her understand.
