OT - family denial

Quick question - I have family living close by that I rarely see.

When I do, I am bombarded with questions regarding finances,job etc.

friends, social life even weight comments. I also get grief about

not interacting enough with the little ones when I'm there.

Furthermore, I am the one expected to do all the traveling/driving

to see THEM, since I'm single (?) Yes, they're good about having me

there for dinner, holidays, etc. They are well aware of my health

problems but make comments like diet/exercise will fix everything or

adhd medication (which I now react to negatively) or other pharma

drugs I should try " that just came out on the market " .

Interestingly, I unwittingly helped them out financially in a huge

way by hooking them up with a former business associate. When a

huge deal resulted, I was given a minimal " finders fee " after I was

subjected to a " lecture " on how I have failed at so many things in

life " jobs,relationships..etc " and how this family member just wants

me to have the " good life " . Anyway, I love the little ones but

dealing with the parents has become so stressful I just stay away.

In fact, I just realized I missed one of their birthdays this week

and I feel terrible. But I am so tired of being harassed by the

adults. Any suggestions? Does illness really destroy family

relationships?
