How do you deal with family members that refuse to call you by your new name after a name change?
My partner took a unique route- when his parents refused to call him by his chosen name (which was Evan at the time), he said “then call me Fabio,” and had all his friends call him Fabio. You could try this strategy- pick a seemingly ridiculous name in comparison to your chosen name, have your friends call you that until your family relents.Or, if you have an acceptable relationship with your family, you could try discussing it individually with them. Have a conversation about why they don’t feel comfortable calling you by your name. Request that they take baby steps.Good luck.
How do I deal with rude family members?
I personally had the same problem. I finally had enough and stood up at Thanksgiving dinner. It was kinda funny to see the looks on their faces. I just said get over yourselves or we won't be coming around. It was funny, they were stunned, then they were nice. I think families like that like to gang up on the "outsider" and they just never matured outside of the eighth grade. They are bullies and they will stop if you confront them.
How do you deal with "annoying" family members?
How do you deal with family members that you really don't like when you get together for family gatherings. I'm not talking like super close family like brother and sister, i'm talking like a cousin or aunt, uncle, nephew, niece. Like if you know this person acts fake nice to others and probably will be talking about you behind your back after they leave? Do you put on a fake smile and pretend like you're happy to see them or do you just ignore them and be rude?

How do you deal with family members who do nothing but talk bad behind your back and everyone Else?
Stand your ground and come to her defense. Tell them you will not tolerate this and that they are all FAMILY and you do not want to hear things like that. If they have something to say about someone they should individually talk to the them in person, instead of making frivolous gossip. Remind them that they have flaws as well. If it helps get your husband to support you in this. Try to settle this as peacefully without further contraversy. Or you could just line them up shoulder to shoulder and run by in front of them slapping each one as you pass and yell "don't cha talk bad bout my sister in law!" -- heh, just kidding bout that last part!
