Well I'm sure many of us have faced it... meeting your significant other's family.

Somehow this seems to be harder than meeting his/her friends. More and deeper questions are asked and being accepted is far more important.

How do you answer and react to the litanty of questions? What do you do for a living (I'm on social disability assistance)? Is the biggest and gives me a great deal of anxiety - not to mention being in a large group of strangers. What happens when those questions dig deeper?

Do I be honest or do I try to skirt around the question(s)?
