Excellent for you for setting boundaries. It is much needed yet so hard. You get used to doing it and it is a good thing. I am supposed to be going out of town and I had some recent family issues... Plus I totally forgot it was Thanksgiving this week, so I am only going for a couple days. I already this AM got pressure to go to my mother's as I will be in town and said no way. I know my limits and am pushing them just to go meet half way at my sis' to see my son and let my little girl go see her big brother.

For some reason my side of the family just cannot grasp I have PTSD, but my inlaws read up on it and never pressure me. They read books and I opened up. They treat me well, I always get the invites through hubs and told I am welcome, but no pressure. It is a running joke at my hubs expense his wife is a myth. None have met me yet after 6 years. But all are just great and I should go meet... But I am not ready. They all respect it. I keep being told this is what normal families do. Support and understand. Maybe it is scary as this is the last thing my FOO does. And they were around during all of he reasons of PTSD. Go figure.

But again awesome job setting boundaries. Way to go.
