So, your invitation has arrived. Your family reunion is happening late this summer. Your first reaction is, “No! I can’t survive another one of those with unbelievably angry Uncle ______ and/or critical and judgmental Cousin ______.” You feel terrified about the idea of attending because of painful past experiences. You could just ignore the invitation and not attend, but you also know that if you don’t go it might cause even greater rifts and unrest in other family members.
