Anyone else feel like the black sheep of the family?

Oh congrats on the 8th wedding anniversary! We celebrate our 10th in September. I know neither side of the family expected us to last as long as we have. I want to do a hand fasting ceremony for our anniversary but I have to look up all the info about it. I never planned my first wedding (I just let his mom do it all). I didn’t care how I got married I just wanted to get married. In the end I wish we would have just gone to the court house and had it done that way. My family didn’t really participate in the whole wedding and it wasn’t until a few years later I found out that it was there choice not to participate. All those years I just thought it was his mom and family being pushy and not letting my family do anything.

We had a handfasting!!! My aunt is a High Priestess, and I have the whole ceremony, words and all, if you need help, PM me, I’ll send you all the info I have!!!!

I don’t know if I am the black sheep but I’m definitly the odd one out in my family. I am very different from anyone in my family, I never felt like I really fit in.

Oh, I am definitely the black sheep. I hate family gatherings, and given the choice, I’d spend the evening curled up by the fire sipping hot chocolate, and reading a book. My family seems to sense this, and tries to rope me into as many commitments and things to do as possible. Just the exact opposite of what I want. God forbid someone be offended by the lack of my presence.

I lucked out. My bf’s family is great…my family is great if a little crazy. My mother is insane but I’ve learned to live with that.

Once a year all the cousins do a get together on Boxing Day and it’s a great time. With 10 cousins, their significant others, their children…it’s a fun party. I think I counted 36 of us last year.

I’m sorry purple that your family sucks. I know my bf gets angry at my mom sometimes when she says nasty things to me but she thinks that what she says is to help me so I just ignore it. Much easier that way.

Sheesh Laurie, I wouldn’t even bother if everyone just ignores you like that. I’d ask Mom and Dad to get together with you later for gift giving, so you can just avoid the whole thing. What the heck is everyone’s issue anyway, why do they treat you so poorly?

I agree with Kyrin. The fact that it bothers your husband so much and with his illness it can make it worst. We all know what stress can do to us and it can have a very negative effect on him. So I would have a meeting with your parents for chritmas at a separate time.

I’m the strange one in the family. I’m very different and like and do different things. I don’t like family gatherings and avoid them. I always feel rejected by most of them. The fact that I desided to raise my child instaid of placing him does not seem to agree with them. I spend Christmas eve alone and that suits me just fine. My son and I will go to my mom’s on christmas but there will be only her and her boyfriend there. I guess in a way you could call me the black sheep. 😕

I suggest that, we the forum, formally adopt Laurie, Danny and baby as family, and she can let her blood relations go jump in an icy cold lake somewhere.

I have spoken! *gavel sounds*

Kyrin
I thought we had already all agreed that we are a family

I have ALWAYS felt like the black sheep in my family. I was also adopted and never really felt like I fit in with most of them

Ok. which one is which? 😆 😉

I’m the runaway hoodlum…I ranaway because of abuse at home, the first time they took me back, the second time I was smart enough not to get caught. I was a pickpocket among other things….Chris saved me I think in alot of ways…where I had no honesty in my life before it became hugely important to me, he showed me honest people dont have to be weak. (dont show him this thread…he might get a big head…I dont think I ever told him before) Our anniversary is a huge deal to us, because our marraige has taken alot of work from both of us, learning to be understanding and to make a life and family together…We’re polar opposites in almost everything. We usually have a cake and a party, with gifts. We just had a quick vow exchange on the spur of the moment at a courthouse. I was a nervous wreck. 😀 On December 30th it’ll be 8 years.

Kudos to both of you! 😀 I’m happy you found each other. Amazing the difference one person can make in your life….

Purple, thats not right 🙁 I send gifts out but rarely get any in return… mainly because of funds. Here, I just feel weird cuz I dont know anyone. Today I think will be worse since the family is really reserved. If their grandma saw my tattoos, she would apparently not approve, so I will be on my best behavior. Your Christmas sounds worse than mine. 😕

Blah the only christmas get together I was looking forward to I can’t go to. My brother is having a get together today but we can’t go because he has a cold as well as two other people who live with him 🙁 Also last night my poor husband was up puking his guts up. Seems that something his mom served us (either the meatballs or cocktail wieners) where bad. I don’t know why I didn’t get sick but I guess its because I didn’t eat as much as he did. Thank god he is feeling better now. I told him his mothers boyfriend must have tried to poison her but put it in his food instead. He just laughed at me.
