[quote=Anonymous]After spending just a couple of days I am realizing how little I feel for them. They are pretty unhappy people who do little more than complain about everything and talk about one another behind their backs. I just don't enjoy being with them. And I know that now that I am gone, they are talking about me. 
My in laws are so much more functional. We live closer to them and have more meaningful relationships. 
Now I am feeling guilty for having such negative feelings but I also am ready to distance myself further. It wouldn't be so bad if I could just spend time with individual people in the family, but they all live in the same town and some make zero attempt to travel here to visit my family.
So, how guilty should I feel? Will I regret cutting (or nearly cutting) them off? I know I won't ever fully cut them out, but I guess I want to have as little a relationship as possible.  I cut my bio father off when I was 17 and have had no regrets about that.
Thoughts?
