I know you purposely don’t mention the culture but I’m genuinely curious. I have several I tried to ascribe this too and it dawned on me —this could be of any family. I imagine it’s worse in some cultures and it just sound utterly exhausting and depleting.
I’d have to eat and dance and drink to avoid them all😜
Have a great time—glad you’re not letting divorce be the dagger—rather a badge of honor: of living intentionally and happily and one I have no doubt most of them WISH they could like you!!!
Keep your chin up—have a grand time!
