I have nothing to be "ashamed" of. Problem is being around two people that have created bad situations in my life. One is the W, the other is the BIL. I understand what you are saying and i believe you are right, just nervous about being in a place with two people that I would rather not be with. but I feel if I am not around her for tis, to give her the opportunity to really see me, then it may be an opportunity I will later regret.
