We had unexpected guests over the weekend, and they will be staying for the week. NG's family, aunt and uncle he grew up with. I have bad memories of their previous trips and am carefully dbing through this situation. Staying detached, not assuming. I plan to remain unavailable, and not get sucked into their dramas. This of course means NG will be more exposed to them than before, but I am taking the view that this is his problem to solve.
