Jodie,

>problem, caring what everyone else thinks.This is THE PROBLEM. It took me a _long_time_ to get over worrying about what other people think. Luck for me (I think?) I come from a very distant family and my parents and siblings rarely talk. My family doesn't know me and I don't know them, and at this point I don't care.
Bottom line: Do what you think is right, do your best, and screw the naysayers. BTW: Your fiance's family sounds like they are now your adopted family. Stick with them -- they sound like wonderful people.
Good luck.
