Denial is an insidious little beast. Your family seems to be in the thick of it. Might I suggest you just not talk about MG with them anymore? Your actions (or inactions) will speak louder than words and they will eventually "get it." However, you will have to prepare for some fallout and loss of "support" (I use that term loosely, as they are currently NOT supporting you), over time because many "can't" or don't want to "deal."
It will be up to you to carve out a life YOU can live with. Shame on them for pressuring you! I do feel for your son. With my dd, she has never really known me any other way, and she's also special needs (high functioning autism) so doesn't hassle me about the MG too much. Your son, however, will adapt. Currently my dh takes my dd to school, and I pick her up. I don't do mornings very well, although I was once a real morning person.
Hang in there!
