Thank [deity] I've got you around to do the heavy lifting for me. You’re right Dave, it’s a real back-breaker. Thank [deity] I’ve got you around to do the heavy lifting for me.

I have an older sister that I adore. We had a great relationship with each other until she had kids and one day told me she didn't feel comfortable telling them what gay is and wouldn't tell them that it is normal. I still see them and talk to them (I love my nieces dearly...it's not their fault), but things are not the same. My sister says it's only me that's changed and I agree. I changed once I found out how she really feels about me. I don't HAVE to be around someone who thinks what I am is abnormal or wrong or a bad influence on her children.

It's as simple or complex as you want to make it. I have no idea what caused the distance between you and your family, but (in my humble opinion) you need to do what makes you feel best.

Turn off comments or 2. Delete the offensive comments. But thanks for sticking up for him. It's hard to keep your mind narrow all on your own.

Our families suck and they don't know how to have a relationship with us - didn't when we were young and still don't now in our adult lives. You have to do what makes you feel good - that may change from time to time as you grow older. My father - like your mom and dad call me on my birthday. Always call at a time I'm not home and leave a message. I never return the call and he never calls back. In return I call him on his birthday and he makes me leave a message (caller ID). As for Shannon's baby - you are related to him and he is too young to know you right now but that could change later. You can connect with him from a distance like I do with Michelle's two boys. Send a toy now and then a picture and call. Your relationship can be between the two of you without her. Here's my thoughts on family - "cut your losses" - hold your head up and live your life!! Duane,

Families suck, but that lil babe would be missing out on knowing you. I agree w/docjohnboy. Sorry for the unsolicited advice. I am estranged from my family and it sucks. I know nothing is Norman Rockwell but I'd love to just have a family dinner and then sit near the fireplace and play Scrabble :) Duane-
