Gracie:

Hi! haven't spoken to you in a while... Besides this, I hope you have been feeling well.

Please, Gracie, you do not need lessons in how to act "normal," because there is no such thing. You are being "normal" by not wanting to go, and it's up to you. Putting pressure on you is going to backfire, and your husb should know that. He cannot FORCE you to go. So stand firm. You are not a "lesser" person because you decide, for yourself, as a grown woman, not a child, that you are not up for such a visit.

What do you think?

Wendy

> My husband insists that I go with him to visit his family for a week in August. I haven't seen them in years and I am sick with dread. I'm uncomfortable around strangers, lousy at small talk, and would rather drown myself in their pool than appear in a bathing suit. I'm also afraid to fly. My God, how will I ever get through it without puking up Southern Comfort in his mother's spotless kitchen sink?
