I have family in town for the holiday... my in laws (one in particular, really) keeps trying to lecture me about getting upset with my mother. I am getting really tired of it. They don't get it. At all. I have been given referrals to get out of that house, because it is mentally/emotionally abusive. I chose to wait to call until after the family went home, so it didn't cause drama. I cannot keep getting told to just give her (mom) what she wants... I will end up yelling at someone, probably someone who really just does not understand. So sometimes getting with family and doing the activities is not good either.

I just wanted to add that PC, and at least I, will be here for as much of this week as I can manage, if anyone needs support, or just to vent.

Take care of yourselves first and foremost.
