I sorta brought this up with D14 last evening; she rolled her eyes and said something sarcastic (but very accurate!) about Italian men. But she had a very good idea--just write notes to the women in the family (all of whom married into it). She went on about how various people told her they missed me at Thanksgiving (which she didn't tell me before), including my youngest nephew (age 11) who REALLY misses me. And she said she wasn't going to attend any more family functions is OW was going to be there.

Just to be clear--I wasn't asking for her advice or support, but I knew it might affect her if I do this. Perhaps I should have waited until after I sent the notes...
