Many of you know about the problem I had with my mother about 2 years ago. Anyways, it is her b-day on Sunday, and my dad called while I was @ work saying he is taking her out to dinner on Suday, and I am not sure if I want to go. You see, she still never asks about my husband, and neither does my dad. I dont blame my husband for not wanting to go, if I ask him, and I will not force him to go, either. A friend at work understands how I feel and she says I should just be up front with them and tell them that he and me have been a package since we got married. I know my husband won't go. And, me, I will only go to keep the peace, which I dont think is right either. All I know is that I hate family things anymore. My parents will always be the way the way they are. All I will get is a run around and they will just question me back. and, it feels like I can never just tell them no, without making an exuse up what would you do?
