[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you post about this a few months ago?
A while back, there were repeated posts about this same situation.

There are huge problems here. 
A family that chooses not to be believe their own child. 
A family that believes something serious without evidence. 
A family that "does not agree" to a 40 year old woman's engagement.

It's hardly credible. If they're not religious fundamentalists or from a different, severely conservative culture, I don't understand it at all.

Go ahead with what your believe is right for your happiness. If it means breaking off contact with your family, then do so.

[/quote]No, new poster. My family is challenging, very opinionated. I've sat at the table and listened to my family berate my sisters actions. We lack support of each other. It's sad. I'm not relying on them financially at all. I am able to take care of myself and my kids financially.[/quote]

PP you were responding to. 
OK, I believe you.

Two things:
1. First, we're all getting the impression that you're still not marriage material (too soon, need more time to mature and think about money and other possible issues you had in your first marriage). Thank goodness it's going to be a long engagement, but perhaps there shouldn't have been one at all right now!
2. Second, your family sounds horrible and you should limit contact severely. BUT. Even if they're expressing it badly, once you separate the delivery from the message - do you think they may have a point? The point being you're not a good judge of what's best for you? Do you have a history of making poor choices?

So, proceed with caution. Think twice about everything.
