Surprise!

Living two states away from half of your support system can sometimes make you a little crazy when you don't get to see them very often. Apparently, for a few weeks my fabulous husband had been incahoots with my Dad on surprising me with a visit.
They arrived Wednesday and stayed for 3 days. I couldn't be happier right now. Although this preggo is so exhausted, I had a wonderful time catching up with my family. It is never a dull moment.
From Left to Right: Jodi, Amy and their kids. Jeff, Olivia, myself, my Dad Ed, brother Henrie, Sister Audrey, my daughter Saphire, and my Uncle Benny.

My problem

I have this problem where I hold things in, and never express how I feel. I let people walk over me, especially the people I am closest too. My biggest problem is that I cant contain it forever so I end blowing up, ultimitlely ruining whatever relationship I had.
For years I have always just had my feelings dismissed by my family." Oh, Kerra. You are just overreacting." After a while you tend to just shut up and despite what those people are doing to you, you push on. Because you know they are your family.
I don't know what route to take. The route where I just stop putting in the work and we go our separate ways. Or I just continue to push on feeling like I am overextending my hand ALL the time and they are never doing the same. Is Family really worth this?
