a lot of families create a lot of inner suffering LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 05/04/2011 10:49:50 PM
As I said, I have been very lucky for the most part...but I have still had a grandparent say she cares more for hound dog shit than me (and later claim she never said any such thing, of course)

I'm glad your experiences have been positive. But there are a lot of people out there who don't want their families around for good reasons. Even if your family is not abusive and your relations are just dramatic, that's TIRING. I LOVE my family, but most of the time I am THRILLED they are so far away. It keeps relationships positive and prevents bad blood from growing.

Coldness can sober/wake you up...of course, warmth then can make it come back with a vengeance. *NM* - 05/04/2011 12:58:13 PM 397 Views

Sorry, but you shouldn't have just assumed you were invited. *NM* - 04/04/2011 09:33:46 PM 386 Views

She wouldn't be dramatic there, that would be fine. - 05/04/2011 05:11:47 PM 926 Views
If you don't want drama, don't invite family. Seriously, listen to the voice of experience here. *NM* - 04/04/2011 04:07:42 PM 440 Views
you are not factoring in the drama of not inviting family. - 04/04/2011 04:32:51 PM 856 Views
Yes, I was. - 04/04/2011 06:51:29 PM 856 Views

How can you *not* invite family? Family is all that matters. *NM* - 05/04/2011 02:18:55 AM 425 Views

In your opinion. For me, as an example, it is the people I care for and respect that matter. - 05/04/2011 10:26:53 AM 763 Views
