I ran away with a guy. Any ideas to figure things out with my family?

Not that I ran away with nothing. Just that my dad doens't like him very much. I'm married with this man for 3 years now and I've never seen my home like 5 years now. I missed everyone in the family so much. My husband will never be on his knees giving respect to my Mom and Dad because they made us apart and my dad was going to kill him at that time. So it was like...a big painful memories for all. I can never let them meet each other since it turned out like this. But I really miss my family, too. Awwww...help me out..

I would probably start with a phone call to your mom or even sister if you have any. I'm sure after five years things have settled down between you all and maybe, just maybe they are missing you so much too and not sure how to go about contacting you. Give it a try and see how it turns out. If a phone call is out of the question, how about a letter or postcard maybe? I hope it works out for you and that you are able to reunite with your family. I can get quite lonely with just the two of you. Good Luck.

that was five years ago already.... i think it is about time to go pay them a visit. if they are angry it is their right. a lot of things had happened already for five years. i know they miss you just the same way that you miss them.
take a break... pay them a visit....
goodluck

your family probably misses you too and regrets some of the things that made you separate. You can write them a very nice letter and put it in a card and tell them to contact you. you can have a specific rule that you don't talk about your husband at all.

Yes, I am sure your family misses you too and would love to hear from you. It is possible for you to maybe write or call your mother (as she might be more responsive to reconnecting) telling her that you are sorry it had to end up this way but that you would like to talk to and/or visit the family. I don't see any reason why you could not visit without your husband if they are so set against him. And perhaps as your relationship with your family gets healed they will eventually accept your husband as well.
