[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 711830, member: 18958"] Nomad. I am in a similar situation with M's family, and my own sister treated me as a non-entity and now will not have anything to do with me at all. M, no matter how his family treats him, has love and loyalty and a sense of responsibility to them. It is so worthy of respect. M just chooses to forget what they do. He sees it, and feels the sting and lets it roll right off his back. Despite my profession and the fact I have some money, we are social outcasts, in our own minds; because of M's status, and because we prefer it, actually. (I can masquerade as a women of status and respectability, but it is a dress up game.) I guess what I am saying here is I would go with your heart. If you have a love for these people, do as M does and keep in the game. I have thin skin, so I get angry and hurt. So, if you are like me, you will pull back and protect yourself and nurse resentment. Think about it. Nobody can define you really except yourselves. The truth of who you are, nobody can touch that. The rest does not matter. [/QUOTE]
