I hate my family....

[Politico]

My family is dead to me now.

My family is just plain dead.

Have you ever tired to has it out? I mean...say to her what you just said here?

Yeah ... But she won't go head-to-head with me anymore.

When I try to talk to her about it alone ... She goes belly-up, becomes agreeable, acts like she understands and reassures me that it is nothing.
I have tried different approaches ... Her husband knows the deal ... Hell, everyone does ... It is what she says or does when I am not standing there or if the crowd has children and she knows I won't screw things up for them going toe-to-toe with her.
It makes people like her family, our aunts, uncles and other extended family uncomfortable ... Otherwise, it wouldn't bother me so much and I would just push on and deal with her.

I mean it is a bad kind of hate and resentment ... One that hides in the corner until it lashes out and screws everything up ... It won't stand and fight in the light.

That is all.

I pray that you find a new family to be in the presence of some day soon and may they take you in as one of their own!

Some families can be toxic. It is hard sometimes to know what can be salvaged and what cannot.

Amen to all of this.

God bless you two always!!!
