[quote=Anonymous][quote]Every family picks on each other and jokes about things..[/quote] Nope. In my family, we may gently tease, but nobody picks on anyone. Nobody hurts anyone's feelings and nobody cries or wants to cry. A friend had to teach me that we all have two families - the one we come from, and the one we create (either through spouse/children or friends or a combo of the two). Some people are lucky enough that both their families can co-exist and they can move between the two with ease. But some people only socialize with their second family. At every family event DH and I have, we invite friends who can't leave town to go home, friends who are estranged from their families, friends who don't have family, etc. You say you have lots of friends. Let them be your adult family. Your family of origin is not going to change. You will not change them. They will not stop. Distance yourself. [/quote]
