This whole holiday thing has really gotten me thinking about family. How much of my relationship with extended family is genuine? My husband knows and loves me for who I am but I'm not sure about the rest of them. I'm going to ponder this and talk it over with my therapist who by the way thinks it's great I'm a vegan. She told me that it was evolved ( I think that's the word she used). She was genuinely curious what I ate and encouraged me to teach a class on vegan eating. I think she is a vegetarian.
