[quote=Anonymous]In the past, I think a “distanced” relationship with difficult relatives was more readily accepted and easier to pull off. Attend a couple of major family gatherings/yr and “do your duty”(or visit once/yr if you live far away), send Christmas and birthday cards and call on special occasions etc. Easy to use work, finances, distance etc as a polite excuse for not being around more often. These days- with the availability of cheap 24/7 communication & easy travel- many difficult relatives will get very pushy for more. I think given the choice between “all in” or “all out”- more people are choosing the latter. [/quote]
