I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

well, feeling a lot better physically
but I am under so much stress...my hubby and I have been having to spend out money like crazy lately...first my car messed up, and then our heat/air unit on the house locked up (major bucks) and a gazzillion little things. To make a long story shorter...we have been working 7 days a week to be able to save up for plane tickets to go see my grandparents, we told them that we couldn't afford anything more than plane tickets, and they said don't worry that we could stay there and that they would pick us up from airport..(now keep in mind, I have minimal contact with my family because they are..well, nuts) I hear from them last night and they say that they have no where for us to stay, and he isn't really crazy about picking me up from the airport...what kind of family is that?? I just don't know what to do...obviously our trip is cancelled, and it looks like I just need to give up trying to make my family happy. It makes me feel like I'm not good enough. I have spent my whole life trying to please them, and they arent returning it. I spent my whole youth feeling worthless mostly because I had someone different reminding me of that every day...I have been so much happier the last 5 years being away from them that I feel like I should just forget them all. Doesn't that sound terrible?? I feel so guilty for even thinking this way, but this latest episide has even pissed off my hubby...any advice?? Sorry for ranting like this but I just needed to get it off my chest... |

Use the money from your tickets to go visit somewhere that you have never been. This can be fun, even if its a nice hotel near where you live. Family can be very frustrating at times, but at least you know you have made the effort. If it makes you feel better, I just had to replace the transmission in my car. $2,000. Wait it gets better. I was in Fort Wayne, IN when it broke down
 . Bad things tend to go in streaks, and yes, they do go away. Then they come back. Then they go away. Then they come back..............Part of life, I guess. |

that is my exact opinion...no matter what I do it'll be wrong anyways..lol...
boilermaker...yep, I replaced my transmission back in June, but it was only $900, then we started this shop, and ran over our budget, then our central unit went out, and it was close to $3000. I got a call from my grandpa tonight saying that my uncle will let us stay with them, but he still doesn't know what to do about transportation...oh, what to do? what to do?? |

Good use of angst as a w/o tool. It'll make you feel better too, I'll bet.
Family is strange. The best you can do is realize you can't please everyone, and in this case you are probably best to try to please yourself. I would let the family know that things haven't worked out the way you hoped, and while you would love to see them, you may need to put it off for a bit. Then taken part of the money and have a nice weekend retreat with the husband. You can see the family later, and you'll feel better now. |

Great w/o there sexy! Sorry about your family, that's always a hard situation. I kinda had the same problem, not with parents but brother and his family and my parents extended family. I said when I turned 18 I was finished with them and that's that. It's been 10 years and they are out of my life and I don't feel any loss and feel much better about myself ( they all made me feel like crap too ). But then you have that sense of responsibility concerning the fact that they are "family". Personally, for me I've defined family as support, I support them and they support me. Blood family means nothing to me now but you have to decide what you believe about all that and act accordingly.
