[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP doesn't need to be close to anyone she doesn't want to. She doesn't need to feign closeness because they are "family" (different if they were a spouse or Op's child) But she doesn't get to portray them as bad either. Not when they are doing something (expressing concern, giving a gift) something that is within the realm of ordinary behavior. It's not what you want, Op? Too bad. You accept the gesture with grace. But reveal anything to them? You don't have to do that any more than you want to[/quote] But it IS bad of the relative to ignore OP's stated preferences! So I don't see why she can't say that. You're telling OP to erase her feelings in favor of the relative's who already disregard OP's feelings, plus you're essentially telling OP to be fake.[/quote]
