Families Are Forever...Right?

"The love of a family is life's greatest blessing"

I have always been taught that a family is suppose to be your support system, your cushion for when you fall, and the arms you can run into when you have a bad day. My family has always been amazing, always there even when I seemed to have turned my back on them, and come running back every time. I love all my families, the Platts, Hardys, Arbogasts, and Wiggintons, they have all been amazing to me and my husband! Until recently, I have felt so warm and welcomed when I am around a family, and I now feel as though I have been shoved out. It could be my hormones and it could be not me at all. How can I imagine something so cruel as someone saying a lie about you and your whole family becoming defensive and very upset with you. I would never say things like that, I would never talk about my families in demeaning ways, it is not the way I was raised, I was raised to love and treat your family with respect because they are the only ones you have when you have lost everything else.

As I sit here tonight I have a decision to make, a difficult one. I have an invitation for next week, do I go or stay home. I feel if I go, I will be given the cold shoulder once again, and if I don't go I'll be called the bit*h that was too good to show up to a family function.

I miss the simple days of family, I hate the drama!
But most of all I miss my family, and the lovely people I know they all are.
So if any of you read this, and you know who you are,
What did I do wrong? Where did I screw up? What can I do to fix it?
My son deserves to come into a loving family, not one that is at odds with each other!!
