[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly? I totally avoid the ones I can. So in op's scenario, I'd unfriend them. Then I'd avoid them IRL and see them only for a few minutes at holidays. For those relatives you cannot use this approach with, say, your mom, I just work very very hard to never bring up a divisive topic. If they bring up the topic, I change the subject. If they send a stupid email blast, I hit delete without reading. I hide their fb feed. Etc etc. [b]Btw, op sounds quite young and brand new to DC. And proud of herself.[/b] [/quote] Ha, I'm neither. I was trying to present the situation so as to focus on the tension and not on who is right/wrong. Because, frankly, I am really pissed off about it and have all sorts of frustration swirling around in my head - and I know I can't have a rational conversation about a lot of these issues with them - so I am trying to prepare myself for the holidays.
