I think you shouldn't "wish" for that one person to come along that would stand up to your family. I think you should "work" to become that person. Yes someone else can stand up for you, fight for you, but that will not give you the closure or the satisfaction that doing it yourself will bring you.
Yes, I agree with this statement Rose, and I really believe that in time you will accomplish this. In time you will recognize that these family members are "simple" and "ignorant" "shallow" people. You will learn to grow "beyond them" and these things that they do out of their ignorance wont bother you anymore.

I am working on that myself, it is a challenge, but little by little I know "we" are gaining.
