| I have been fortunate to not have any conflicts with my family. My in-laws are another story. The first step, and sometimes all we can hope for, is to come to a mutual understanding. Each understands where the other stands, but you may want to GENTLY make it aware that your decision doesn't need approval and that the ability to adequately defend yourself is non negotiable.
I wish I could give you more advice. As I said, my only conflict has been with my father-in-law(who won't let me in his house anymore, by the way.) So I hope your efforts are more successful then mine. |
