[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there one of your family members that she feels a little more comfortable with? I would try to encourage her to meet one-on-one (or get away from the gathering with one person) in order to develop a stronger bond. If she can do this with some of your relatives, the group gatherings will go much better. I have a hard time with large groups (for many reasons) and I often seek out one low-key person to go on an errand with me (even a made-up errand). It makes such a difference to my sense of well being. My shy niece and I do this all the time :).[/quote] She’s comfortable with my mom and they get along well when it’s one on one.[/quote] That's great. Ask your mom to do some short one-on-one things with your wife during family gatherings (quick errand, helping in the kitchen, sorting photos). Then tell the rest of your clan to knock it off about your wife. Tell them it isn't personal, that she just has a very hard time with large groups. Try to stick up for her more with your family.
