WOMAN   WILL NEVER BE GREEK ENOUGH FOR HUSBAND'S FAMILY
DEAR ABBY:
I married a   Greek man whose family never accepted me. Being young and naive, I tried   everything to fit in, converting from Catholicism to the Greek   Orthodox faith, attending   all family functions, including them in our lives. It was never enough.
My husband   and I traveled to Crete with his family to visit his relatives   there, and   some extended   family members refused   to share the   dinner table with me because I was not Greek. One of those family members was   a priest!
Our   daughter, "Athena," was born four years later. What broke   the camel's back for me was   a Christmas din­ner when she was 6. My father-in-law gave cards with $100 to   all the grandchildren of Greek heritage. Athena received nothing and cried for hours wanting to know   why her grandfather didn't love her. My husband just tried to stay neutral.
Abby, how   far should someone have to go to fit in with their husband’s family?
