I didn't want to ask this in your date post, but was thinking about a post you made a bit ago, and was wondering how are things with your family? Specifically is your mom doing better with accepting you and K as a family unit?

Re: Monet
::butting in:: I've also been thinking about you lately too. Are you staying put? Coming back north? I hope things get easier for you soon.
It's fine to ask in a post! Ummm... not really. Things are still a bit strained. K doesn't really feel comfortable around my mother anymore. My mom makes a point to not really say much to her. While she's never rude, you can sense the tension. I talked to my sister and she told me that my mom was hoping that eventually K would go back to NYC without me. WTF?? AND my sister, thinking she was helping mom to see that our relationship is not going away, sent my mom the link to our wedding site on the knot. It backfired. She went crazy crying and saying I'm runining my life and will never be truly happy. Even though she knew about the wedding and said she was over it. Turns out it was just a ploy to make me think things were better so I would move to Georgia.
My dad isn't much better. He basically told me if I go back to NYC with K to "have a nice life". When I asked him what he meant by that he said " just that. I hope you have a nice life because I don't see how you can if you abandon your family for HER." That HURT. We haven't talked more than 5 mins. since then and that was early last month.
So we have decided to move. the move back to NYC is still up in the air. The job offer is only good until after Christmas, so we have only a short time to think about it more. I'm personally leaning toward moving back, not just because of my mother but because K still hasn't found a job. It seems that the unemployment rate in ATL is high so NOTHING has been happening as far as the job situation goes. It's okay though. We have enough savings to last for a while without being in too bad a situation, but financially things are a bit unstable.
Whatever we decide things will be okay. I am a big believer in the law of attraction and sending the universe (and God) positive energy. As long as I don't dwell on things and still treat my extended family with love and respect ( even though we disagree) things will be okay.
Aww hun, I'm so sorry that things aren't so great. It's so hard to not have your family support you 100%. But I think your attitude is great and will make all the difference.
Good luck with your move and work decisions.

ugh, i'm so sorry. no one should have to go through what you are going through.
you are such a stong woman and you clearly have a very strong marriage. dont ever feel bad about putting your family first (and by family I mean you and your wife, no doubt about it).
