Today my family–the one in which I married into, are going to celebrate Thanksgiving together. I am going to be thankful than they are able to come together and do so. But I will be unable to join with them, for as I have written of late about the undesirable person, I must confess that within that family, I have become that undesirable person who is no longer welcomed in the midst. Thanksgiving seems to be the proper time to discuss this because it was last Thanksgiving when my behavior cast me into the light of that undesirable person. This cannot become a diatribe against, but an acceptance, that I placed myself in the position that disrupted the harmony of the family and that it was my behavior and not their behavior that placed me into ostracization.
Ken, I am sorry for your family situation. I hope your essay helped you to have a tolerable Thanksgiving.
Actually my son read the article and called this afternoon.
That's great!
