Good on you @Kathryn2412. Bike riding is great. I have a bike but haven't been on it since chemo. I must get it out! Family is the hardest isn't it.
I am a bit different from my family. My thinking is very different to theirs and so I didn't really fit their mould. I use to feel rejected by them but the fact is I just didn't want to be part of their thinking and finally I am ok with who I am and my own beliefs.
I see them at family things which aren't often but i don't try to engage in what we don't have in common. I just get together with them and be happy for each others lives. We do have one sibling who doesn't come to anything at all and that's ok too. It took years for us to be ok about that.
I try not to have them my siblings in my home so I get more choice on how much time I have with them and that helps. But at the end of the day it was me that had to change so I didn't have all the anxiety about them. I hope you get some good ideas from that webinar.
