I have yet to walk out on them, but I've been really close to it several times. I certainly wouldn't mind fondue in a B&B and sending them a warm phone call the evening of. Hm. Maybe I'll make plans for next year. And if you find the number for that tv show let me know. ;)

But yes! I've spent many, many years becoming the person I am. I want to be thoughtful and intelligent and open, and I do not have to spend my time with people who are not, regardless of how we're related. I think it's mainly all those grocery store commercials that make me feel guilty for not being one of those perfect family people. Also, it's probably a good thing I never want children. Heh.
