I'm being pressured to "join in" my mom's family from her 2nd marriage. I dislike her husband intensely (for good reasons) and the rest are strangers to me. I've made this clear, but still there's the pressure and guilt to come out and visit. I'm 45 and feel like I've already served my time as the "good son" in the 1st marriage. Help!

You might of served your time in the first marriage, but why would it hurt to go know the other people a little? If you find out you don't like them either, then don't go to anymore gatherings.

You have no obligation to go visit, but it would be nice to make some kind of arrangement to see your Mom. If there is dislike towards her also, then tell her straight out that no matter how much you love her, that the pressure and quilt can stop, because you want nothing to do with her new family. Some times it is hard for Mothers to let go.

they're pushing this as a civil rights situation. As all people who cares to look can it appears that evidently see, they already have the civil rights they declare to no longer have. They and activist judges, who've desperate they could desire to legislate, instead of interpret regulation are pushing the equipment even added. They now call for an entire revision and overhaul of human society to handle their deviance. Humanity has under no circumstances completed this. Ever for the reason that marriage became into first began God purely is familiar with what share thousand years in the past, it became into under no circumstances comparable intercourse. no longer in any team, subculture or empire. Politically maximum suitable isn't the comparable as regularly occurring or organic.

You are 45 years old and it is your decision. Maybe just to be polite you should go visit sometime. However, your mom needs to stop the guilt trips. It is so wrong that she is doing that to you because like I said you are 45 years old and how you want to live your life is your decision.

All you have to do is be respectful of him and his family in their presence. You do not have to be phony just polite. That is all.
