It's interesting how in some families there are members of the family that for some reason believe they have a total right to treat you like a turd and in their minds not only are you obligated to take it you are then also required to love them unconditionally. Little do they realize that family are the one group of people thrust upon you against your will. You did not choose these people. If anything these people are obligated to treat you with a higher level of respect then others and if they don't, you have every right to walk away. You have every right to surround your self with people that actually show you love not just with words but also with actions. You have a right to demand respect and if they are unwilling to give it, then you also have every right to erase them from your life...  -- Jeb Corliss
