I have actually cried on my husband's shoulder stating....."AM I LIKE THEM????"
LOL
I find that it is best to take them in small doses, then you have a higher tolerance and can feel the *love*.
I have a stepfather thrown into the mix who is without a doubt one of the biggest A$$E$ I have ever known. And its not resentment toward him being married to my mom and my Mom and Dad being divorced -- its all about his "take" on everything and how he expresses it. According to him, if you don't believe like him then you are an IDIOT.
I have just come to realize when I see it starting to hit the fan, be ready to leave and fast!!!!!

You could always take the approach my husband and my sister's husband take. Eat and then lay on the couch and don't talk to anyone. LOL.

Everyone thinks its the TRYPTOPHAN but its really trying to stay out of the CHAOS :-)
