Re: isolated in family forums
^agreed. I’ve been burned by my cousins a few times so I learned it the hard way. I had a cousin that was very two faced on my mom’s side. He befriened my sister and I, got our email addresses and then started hitting on me. When I finally told him to stop…he went and told my other cousins that I was madly in love with him, thus causing one of the biggest scandals of my life (it was all untrue). So I make it a point to maintain minimal contact. I’ve learned that rather than being direct (sadly my cousins in Pak don’t respond/understand such honesty), you just have to be diplomatic. No need to be rude but no need to pour your heart out to them either.
Do you only have a problem with them when you visit? Or do they nitpick/make fun of you becuase theyre friends with you on fb/ you guys talk online? If that’s the case, just limit what they can/can’t see.
