Who said it earlier? Rise above it...

it's really not that hard to do... I mean, we all come from families... They're all screwed up on some way shape or form... That's part of the human condition...

My family has 'issues' like very other family... I simply elect to not let them bother me... if mom's "This" or uncle's "That" gets to be to much, I simply remove myself from the situation... easy peasy nice and sleazy...

To me, the good far outweighs the bad anyway...

To all, best of luck in coping!
