As the main person involved in all of these things, you would really have to pay attention to what you are saying and doing. That is the main reason why this article is here. If you would use it to your advantage, then you would not have anything to worry about during family meetings.
For starters, you would have to be on the offensive side as much as possible. Keep in mind that it is not your fault that you have Catholic grandparents. You would just have to try to be on their good side until the day is over. If you would do that, then all of you would have a good time when you least expect it.
Relax since you have not been invited to be criticized. Yes, you are different from the person that you once where but then, all of you still belong to the same family. If you will just relax and learn to appreciate the presence of these people, then enjoying your free day will come naturally and that is the right situation to be in.
Allow religion to be one of your minor topics. Never forget that this thing can be inevitable as the wave in the sea. If you will not welcome it with open arms, then you are once again the odd one out. This is your family and that is something that you should be thankful for while you are still living in this world.
You must expect the least from the parents of your parents. Be reminded that they are the only ones who can change themselves. If you would expect too much from these people, then you will certainly get hurt. They may love you but holding on to their values can be equally important too and you will just have to digest that fact.
Realize that there is no way that you would be able to win in here. There would always be two against you and the fact remains that they have already returned when you are still going through life. That is enough for you to recognize the age and that you ought to stay quite for once in your life.
Stay away from the liquor bar and a debate. Yes, you have your own religion but that does not mean that you are more righteous than those individuals who do not belong to the same group of yours. So, keep your humility intact and avoid alcohol for you not to say things that you will be regretting for the rest of your life.
Know where you stand when things go wrong. If you are already being humiliated in front of a lot of people for the choices that you have made in your life, then defend yourself. That is the only way that you would be able to keep your dignity intact.
Overall, find the safe zone that you can step on. If you think that the best way for you to get out of this is to stay quiet all day long, then so be it. Be humble.
