My advice is more for the long term... MOVE AWAY!!!! Living next door to your parents? No wonder you're depressed! (even pretend) You need to take that wonderful husband of yours and go far far away.. or at least to the next town. You can then proceed to fade without nearly as much effort. It works, trust me.
I can't get out of my CO visit. My CO is my brother-in-law, and the family is getting together in febuary when they are in town.. so I will have to see him.. at least I won't have to sit through one of his talks
