Hi Anita,

Thank you for your response. I agree with your comment that there is no place for me in their lives, I just would like to have a better time getting along with them. I find that when I am with them, I shut down. I can’t speak or even be cordial and that bothers me as I am very open.

The reason I call her “socially awkward” is she only speaks when a direct question is asked to her and even then she usually responds with a laugh and then only answers with one word.

I would like to get along with them as they are “family”.
