Not resolvable
When there is family involved, and family who feel that their needs trump all, there is no resolving the fact that feelings will be hurt. Having almost lost communication with a family member over something similar, I have to say that you should hold firm to your convictions, find a way to communicate with little emotion, and just ride it out.
I paid a price for almost 10 years, but now all is well. Family is around for a
l o n g time. My next wedding will be children free.
