So, I would still try to set your mind straight. "Gee are you okay with my hanging out?" "What can I do to assist you?" "Are you okay with my dropping by _____?"

Also, are you able to contribute in other ways? If you are there primarily over meal times then what if you were to say buy some groceries? Are you in a position to have these people over to your own place? It doesn't have to be dinner. It can be a simple as coffee, snacks, or drinks (if you are so inclined). I am an artist. While I went through a rough patch with depression I was helped by a family. I gave them one of my pieces as a thank you. Are you able at all to do the same?
Yes exactly. Totally agree with you.
