I've read a lot of what you've written and felt like I've gotten some insight about certain aspects of my relationships (which really helped), and have kinda been wondering what to do about the whole 'family' situation. I don't worry about my birth family (not really involved in their lives anymore), however its more sketchy with my in-laws and my husband's close friends. I don't think they're ready (or ever will be), but removing myself and kinda seeing it from their perspective is at least a start. I like them a bunch and don't want to alienate myself when I'm kinda sheepish around them as it is. I guess I'd also like to say (while I'm at it)...thankyou for your website. I've kinda suffered in silence concerning my lifestyle, but knowing that there are perfectly sensible misanthropes (like myself) makes me feel better :-) I think this is pretty practical advise.
