Loving them for what they CAN offer you, rather than resenting them for what they can't is really tough. I still struggle with it today. But getting it can be nourishing in itself. It also makes the relationships you build away from your family of origin all the more important and helps me to be a more giving and forgiving person. It's a big part of why I teach.

How does the invisibility truly affect me, or my significant other? When I join in the silly charade, is my passive participation less culpable than their blatant disrespect? Sorry, I didn't mean to pontificate, as you can tell these questions haven't been on my mind at all this week. hehe. enjoy your trip here...it's hot as hell, but at least you have a tan.
