too tramatized to be a good daughter in law

[Guest guest]

Hey Guys,

Does anyone have issues with their partner's family? I don't dislike my

boyfriend's family, its just that I hesitate to get involved. I see anything

remotely related to family as poison. On Tues we spent the whole day (from

like 10 am to 10 pm) at boyfriend's little niece's wedding. It was

EXHAUSTING!!! And can you say pink bubble gum barbie dreamland? She is only

19 or 20 and has never moved out of her mom's house. i just have a hard time

with her getting married so young. And the whole thing seemed more like a 10

year old's birthday party than a lifetime commitment between a man and a

woman.

But I think I'm wiped out from being in vigilance mode all day, ready to

pounce, leave, protect etc.

And more importantly, am I the only one that just isn't interested in

getting too involved with their partner's family? Luckily the family is

Gigantic! So I am hardly missed. I do have some feelings of guilt about it.

.. .

What you think?
