I think it is because rationally, shouldn't having your kids and grandkids around be possible without you being taken advantage of and treated poorly? But I know what you mean and it never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to doubt oneself as long as one is wrapped up in dealing with people who have no care for others but themselves (for whatever reason). Sometimes we just need this confirmation that what we do is reasonable because we are so used to feeling guilty for every darn thing.
