They are both drug addicts and thieves.... I don't want to see them at all but since my aunt is coming down and staying with us for a week "they got to come over here".... anyway, I can't stand the thought of seeing them.... I don't wanna have to act nice! They've burnt all their bridges one too many times and I don't to see them cause I'm afraid of what I might do.... hopefully I'll get out of the house for the weekend so I don't but is there any advice you guys could give me and dealing with it if I do have to see them? If nothing else pray for me!

be a better person to them than they are to themselves. being cordial and polite doesn't mean you are forgiving or giving them a free pass or agreeing with their actions/choices.

be the best you if you are confronted with the situation...
i try to remember when i'm 'forced' to be around those i don't like to be around that i shouldn't judge unless i want some fingers pointed at me, and that i should treat them as i expect to be treated...
i know, i know that all sounds very 'perfect world' but it is way easier to be polite and ignore in peace than it is to get all rilled up!

Depends. Is it your house?
Or your parents house? Why doesn't your Aunt meet them some where outside the house. Like meeting them for lunch or breakfast somewhere? WHy don't you take your Aunt and drop her off at their house? Then you can go shopping and come back and get her. If they are theives I would not want them in my house and I would not hide or leave them there without any supervision.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
