[quote=Anonymous]Look, all family has their flaws. It kind of sounds like you want family to be involved or accessible but you are wary of shaping your life around any of these families -- in part because you fear judgment, conflict, issues, poor role modeling. Well unfortunately I think that's going to be the package here, so like others said...radical acceptance is your friend. Any situation is going to push your buttons and even more so with the special kind of friction that builds up from repeated family interactions. It sounds as if you are leaning towards #1. In your shoes, given all your reservations, I'd just as soon move somewhere that's not super close -- close enough that it makes it easy to go and visit or be visited, but not close enough that they'll be at your house every weekend and vice versa. You can always try it out and move closer if it's better than expected. [/quote]
