[quote=Anonymous]Family's not easy in most situations. I think ours is generally better than average, but still has its pain points. The biggest point of tension with my husband's family is money and that goes back many generations on their side. FIL is an alcoholic and that has deep, painful repercussions for everyone, but my MIL is most badly effected by it all. We've offered to bail her out, pay for her to get her own place - the one offer of money to his side of the family that I was happy about - but she declined. My siblings can be a bit insensitive, which I'm used to but it offends my husband - that part's getting better as we all get older. My dad also makes some flippant comments, that again I'm used to and I think it's funny, but my husband finds it off-putting. For me, it's tiring trying to navigate all the sensitivities and keep everyone from being offended, so while I'm happy to see my family for a visit, I'm usually anxious to get back home by day 3.
