sigh, I know, I just feel "duty bound"....and you are exactly right, h doesnt like them. long and not so pretty story.....
I guess part of the duty bound part comes from the guilt trip of my mother .



Deb - you are your own person now. I mean, I certainly do visit some family members (even when I'd rather stay home) because who knows how long they'll be there? But if I don't care for an uncle and aunt, I don't feel duty-bound to visit them. Why add more stress if you don't like them?

Also - go see a movie or something. Do something fun for yourself this week! If your hubby doesn't go, there isn't a reason not to have a good time on your own. A matinee, a nice (not necessarily pricey) dinner, etc. You've been through so much, and it's time to start de-stressing (working out, having fun, etc.).
