I just about give up on relatives
No matter how hard my husband and I try to be good to our relatives, we just keep getting kicked. I don't want to see any of them anymore. It's not worth the pain and frustration to have to deal with the arrogance and the power hungry in the family. That's not family to us. Our friends treat us better than family. At least I still have my dad left. He's the only sane one on my side. On my husband's side, my husband is the only sane one. I wish there were a place where we could just move away from it all and start over. We can't take it anymore. Unless family wants to tell us off, or if someone dies, we don't hear from anyone. You tell me, THAT'S FAMILY? I have to keep praying that God will get us through all of this.

Hey I can relate. Mine are not that bad but I can relate.

We are given our relatives and choose our friends. Make good choices!

My late husband did just that.He could\'nt take the money hungry, greediness of part of his family and told them he did\'nt ever want any part of them again. And he never did. And they never did. You don\'t need the aggravation in your life. God will get you through. Love Ginny
God WILL get you through it. It is strange how you can be treated so much better by close friends than you can your own family. I don\'t understand that, but it happens to a lot of people. I guess you can choose your friends, but not your family.
Are we sister\'s?...I have had so much grief with my family members that I should be writing a book!! When our dad passed away they couldn\'t wait to see what he had left them. I don\'t understand why people can be so greedy for in the 1st place. I am here if you need to take about it!! You and your husband will get through this!!
