When you feel like you just can't do much more for your difficult family members, why do it? You know how they will respond to your comments, suggestions, thoughts, and more. Why open your mouth? You know how they will behave if you should reveal private things about your life. You have a history with these people and it may not be nice, pleasant, loving or generous. So why work yourself up this weekend and the next fighting with people who may not like or respect you.
Sometimes we ask for trouble because we simply don't know when to throw the towel in when it comes to our troubled relatives. There is no going along to get along any more when you know all that you do is upsetting not only you, but your loved ones too. Chances are those closest to you are sick and tired of hearing you talk about your family. Put the brakes on some things concerning them and be inspired to do something different apart from those you are simply tired of.
