[quote=Anonymous]Somewhat early on DH approached his parents to try to address this, and my FIL summed up the problem. He said about me (and I quote) "we think she should be more like us." While DH pushed back and defended me, nothing has changed years later. But that line stuck with me. It stuck with me in ways that hurt, that they can't accept me for who I am. And it stuck with me as a reminder that there is nothing that I did wrong and not much I can do to fix the core problem. I'm a person who hates to offend and will always apologize if I do wrong, so I always questioned what I could do differently. But there's nothing I can do here. [/quote]
