[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 243217, member: 84"] Susie.......all I hear from my Mom is when are all her kids going to get together for a family reunion. All 5, in the same place at the same time. Last time was 22 yrs ago....and that turned out to be a nitemare. She carries on that I don't see my brothers. And I let it run in one ear and out the other. The family reunion I have no desire for and tell her so point blank. She also begs me to come home which is basically the same thing but I still say no. In short, I don't let her guilt me into doing what I don't feel comfortable doing. If that makes me the bad guy, then so be it. Honestly, I don't think I could handle living in the same state with my family. Short visits can be overwhelming enough. And I spend a good 2 days explaining certain behavior with just that. ugh Not letting bro over unless husband is there is a good idea. Stand firm. Once you start getting the hang of the boundary thing....it does get easier to set more into place. Hugs [/QUOTE]
