[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, very sorry your family sucks.  We have been lucky that our immediate family (grandparents) are extremely supportive. But come aunts and uncles, cousins, and we are doomed. I haven't had any extended family reunions with my cousins, whom I used to be very close to before the diagnosis of my DC, for 5 years now.  They have repeatedly questioned his diagnosis (Aspergers'), called us bad parents, called him "a spoiled brat" to his face, so I avoid them.  My grandparents are still alive and they are upset that we no longer communicate after several really bad incidents.  This Thanksgiving we opted to go on a cruise with ILs and had a blast.  They may be too conservative, too religious, etc., I may not agree with their political views,  but they love our DC unconditionally and don't separate him and their our grandkids. [/quote]

Similar experience here.  Branch of our family that is conservative, more working lower SES is totally accepting of our child, would do anything to make sure we visit and have fun.   Now the really high flying rich branch of the family -- their kids are rude, rude, rude all the way and the parents just stand by.  You can't buy real class.[/quote]
