Re: [UUPoly-L] old vs. new relationships?

[Kathleen Reedy <icescience@yahoo.com>]

Rebecca and all:
  Most people are concerned about gaining the acceptance and approval of their parents and siblings.  For me, it is the acceptance of my sons and daughters in law.  One is totally accepting of my having/bringing a partner, any partner, to family events; two are hesitantly accepting, one is really concerned.  One of my sons is gay, and we've discussed the issue.  His position is "I am their brother, and uncle.  I relate to them as such.  I do not discuss/reveal the relationship part of my life".  The really accepting brother/son is for both of us and our relationships. I find that I really want to share my holidays and special occasions with my family and my love(s).  So I am gently exposing the others, and they still have their issues.  We all live in different cities/states.  No answers, maybe no progress.  Just sharing the problems.

1/2 a cent in. I am very new at Poly and was introduced to it in a
way that made me a little scared. I know that this is a very stupid
and I think nnot related to the topic at all but here it goes. How do
you get comfortable around your family when you know by their actions
and their words that they don't approve of the way you live? This is
for anyone that can give advice. I'm coming close to giving up on
what I am wanting just to make them happy. Knowing that it's hard and
I won't be happy. Thanks for any advice you can give me.
