And a visit shouldn’t be a test of endurance.
What all these houses have in common
Something similar happens in all of them:
In one, you’re unwanted
In another, the atmosphere is toxic
In another, you’re just being used
In another, you’re made to feel like a burden
The dangerous part is when this becomes routine.
You start to endure it, to smile politely, to go “just for a little while,” to put up with it in silence.

Practical tips for handling these situations:
Reduce the frequency of visits without arguing
Shorten the time you spend there if the atmosphere becomes uncomfortable
