It's too bad you can't meet his family first since they are supportive of you and know your situation.

If your family stress you out and trigger you, then the chance of doing anything after seeing them will probably not happen because some family members just wear on the nerves even for non PTSDers.

I hope you don't crash so you can meet your in laws. They seem real nice for the way they treat you. If only all in laws were that way.

I didn't want to say anything bad about my in laws because they are very good people with good hearts and would do anything for me. It's just expectations and pressure to be with them all the time. They think they are doing it because they care about me and want to see me, but don't realize how bad I feel sometimes.

But hopefully they will ease up, and I think they will now that I have spilled the beans to my FIL about why I don't like holidays, and told SIL and MIL to set boundaries.

BTW, I'm not sure what FOO means.

Good luck this week!
