Sorry about your uncle's passing, and sorry for the rude treatment.

You've been "blacklisted", and so have your kids apparently. If they're that petty to your children, do you really want these people in your life? A short exposure at a rare event seems like more than enough contact.

You might want to explain to the kids that these people aren't high functioning, and the kids shouldn't internalize that as a valid behavior.

lovemykids, its safer for them to sideline you than to face the shame of facing you.

I am sorry you are hurting. I see you don't have contact with them generally - are you able to work through the hurt this has caused you?

  A funeral is just like any other day for someone who is as self absorbed as your parents apparently are
