Family...

...Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em. Why is it that certain people just suck the life out of you? Sometimes it's total strangers, or it might be your family, other times it's your in-laws. Today it was a certain in-law of mine - the negative energy coming from the man was absolutely staggering, and unfortunately, this is NOT a new thing. I hate that my kids have had to see their adults behave so badly.

Now that I think about it, are they even still my in-laws? When one is widowed, wouldn't "in-laws" sort of become an optional title? Hmmm. They're still my kids relatives, but do I still have to claim ALL of them as mine?
