hi shame,
i think you made a good choice to take care of yourself in a bad situation. sometimes it is the only good choice to make. my spouse can not truly understand what i go through and he is not sympathetic about issues that cause me great distress. i am having to learn to take care of myself and not feel guilty for doing so.
family loyalty is only right when it goes in ALL directions. people who are abusive do not deserve our loyalty or time spent in their presence.
i hope things get better now that the family occasion is over. i am always relieved when "holidays" are over. i do much better on ordinary days =)
