that's a toughie. With the exception of one sister, none of my family was "terribly" concerned. My husband and adult daughters of course were and still are helpful, but even they forget the extent of my injuries at times.

I love my family-but there comes a time when you have to cut your losses.
I'm not advocating this in your situation and I'm not saying don't do it. My family puts the "fun" in dysfunctional. For that reason I've limited contact with a lot of them period.

I hope that you are able to come to an understanding with your family. It's not an easy situation and sometimes people just don't want to understand what you are going thru.
