[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Early on in a friendship, you really don’t know about people’s upbringing and family issues. What becomes apparent to me is the drama between in laws, parents and siblings. All that drama is simply TOO much for me and I tend to back away. This drama doesn’t make anyone a bad person, they simply require more energy than I have to give.[/quote] It is not always that person's fault - if their MIL or someone in their life invites drama, maybe they are just not good at not being a nice human being - and that becomes a problem. If people are accustomed to nice, then marry into a dysfunctional family (for example) - they have to learn to put up bigger and bigger boundaries, in a place (family) that would have been considered not necessary. Not all families are safe, positive places of refuge - some of them are places of abuse, either blatant or not. When you marry into that, it can be difficult and a bit jarring, at first.[/quote]
