[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to overcome the 'conditioning' that makes women the cruise directors. Stepping away from that role may not be as common in some families/cultures but it certainly isn’t 'extreme'. I dropped the rope even before we were married. My now-DH's family treated me like shlt and expected me to conform to their toxic matriarchy. I declined to engage. It wasn't always easy and DH didn't always have my back (which led us straight back to counseling) but DH eventually saw the unhealthy pattern of his family. He was free to visit with them as he liked and take the kids. The kids were also welcome to stay home.[/quote]
