Ha ha. Yes, quite sure in some other households in my family, my wife and I are a pain in the ar$e, but then thats why I spend my time in my own happy household and limit the time I spend in theirs. They are quite welcome to do the same.

Bloody hell. I never knew this happened. I think I must be lucky, my family is Rock solid, we all get on, little things cause arguments but they dont go anywhere. Very close to them all, trust them with anything.

Out of the rest my Uncle is a bit wierd but our families still get on in a way... He is a materialist and because they are a little better off than us think they are better. Fortunatly for us we can see past that and know we have something they dont.

If I couldnt trust my family then I dont know what id do.

I don't wish it on anyone but it's honestly such a relief that other people have all this crap too. I hate being dragged in - it simply rakes up all the muck from years ago - but I can see it's all getting nasty. I like the option of telling them all to get lost, and being an island.
