I Am the Black Sheep of the Family

I am the black sheep of my family. My parents raised me to be a strong independent woman, now they hate that about me, it seems. My husband and I have our own relationship, one that works for us. Sometimes, he likes to rile me up to get a response, when I do respond, he just smiles. At one point, my parents would feed this and sit back and laugh as hubby and I bickered. But, apparently now, my mom has issue with this and snaps at me. Could be, mom and I have just grown apart, could be my holier than thou sister is having a great influence on mom. I don't know. What I do know is I'm tired of catching hell for things my hubby and I have as a normal, 16 year, marriage. My holier than thou younger sister loves to look down on me. I've been married for almost 16 years, to one man, and produced a child, while she has been married twice, and is now in a relationship with no intentions of getting married, and has no children. Maybe she's jealous. Whatever, I never really felt like I fit in anyway.

Thanks for listening, it helps to get it out.
