reconnect with family

Almost since the time I met my husband’s family, I have been attached to them. They are just all around good people, and I love being around them. Being near them makes a lot of the negativity in my life disappear from my mind. Every time we go to see them, I never want to leave. I wish I could feel that peace and happiness inside myself all the time, regardless of who I am with, but I’ll take spending more time with his family anyday to get that feeling.

spending a lot of time lately with my husband’s family, and even though it’s not my own family, it’s still family. I’ve really grown attached to his family, and I love them like they were the family I never had. I’ve also been in constant contact with my brother’s wife, thanks to Facebook, and since were 800 miles apart, it’s kinda nice to see their kids growing up through pictures.

So, tomorrow we’re going to dinner with my husband’s dad. He’s uh… well, he’s himself, and spending time with him is rare because he is kind of annoying to his family. I can’t say as much, since I don’t know him as well of course, but it’s always nice to see my husband’s sister and daughter, so I’m looking forward to it.

I wish my immediate family was more like my husband’s- maybe then I could stand to be around them.

i got a dropshots account and its really helping. I am talking to my cousins from far…havent in so long
and im regularly talking to others in my fam now

I’m going to start writing letters to everyone every month or every other month. I think I am going ot start a family newsletter when things start getting underway. Are they annoying to people? I don’t know.

Nearly a year and a half a go I was forbidden from sitting at the wedding party table at my younger brother’s wedding. The mother of the bride had found out that I was gay, and strategically dropped this requirement two weeks before the wedding, of which she had volunteered to pay for the reception. This callous woman’s actions fractured the newly rediscovered relationship with my brother and left me angry and devastated. I did so much to try to make that relationship work, and was made to be the bad guy for just being who I am by a woman who had never even met me.
