I have also experienced this with family members and it is truly soul destroying. I real feel that it is fear of the unknown. I'm so sorry that there is still some members who do not try to understand. I think they are probably living in a box that they are scared to get out of. <br /><br />You should probably try and consciously<br />close yourself off to their negative energy before you are in their company. It may help. <br /><br />On the positive side of things, I bet you have learned a lot about how to treat people and listen from these experiences. <br /><br />Your doing great!!Treyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637433110038921079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-44221627193692683792009-04-14T15:53:00.000-04:002009-04-14T15:53:00.000-04:00It all sounds wonderful!

Just commisseration from one PWME to another re holiday times: I don't have to travel like you and don't know how you manage it but I do know how hard it is to try to be with everyne at such times and especially when the are children involved and their expectations of a lovely time. I tink you do amazingly well and more power to you<br /><br />;0)<br /><br />Love CuspCusphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717783581169397585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-78469886045513568612009-04-14T12:50:00.000-04:002009-04-14T12:50:00.000-04:00This mirrors my own experience of family gathering...This mirrors my own experience of family gatherings!Jenniehttp://www.tumblyday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-50614115164715033412009-04-14T09:05:00.000-04:002009-04-14T09:05:00.000-04:00Thanks for the support!

Mmmmm - can't wait for lunch today.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-26934675286640273052009-04-14T05:19:00.000-04:002009-04-14T05:19:00.000-04:00Welcome back!

I hope you're feeling better soon.<br /><br />I can imagine that traveling the 3-1/2 hours every holiday would be hard. A quiet and relaxed weekend does sound nice. That's good that your mom is now supportive, and you were able to participate somewhat.<br /><br />I'm wondering what a Ukranian Easter feast includes.Laura (aka Mom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09511450863275103185noreply@blogger.com
