    I have a good relationship with my family, but they are still miserable and draining to be around.

    Why would you tolerate this?

      I find the balance. They are less than a half hour drive away and we don’t see them all that often.

      My kid has grandparents and cousins he likes. Fortunately at most of the get-togethers at grandma’s house, we tend to separate into two floors of the house. So I get to hang with my nieces and nephews and spend most of the time with walls between me and the old miserable people.
