[quote=Anonymous]She screams at her kids, makes pointed jabs at our mom, hates our stepfather (of 30 years), and is pretty much disfunctional (can't keep a job, which is everyone else's fault, etc.)  She tried to kill me with a metal pipe when we were kids (she's 10 years older than I am).  I can go on and on...  And my mother is basically an enabler who just wishes everyone could get along (so she can pretend that she has a "normal" family).

The sister invited the family up to her house for Thanksgiving via e-mail.  My mom immediately wrote back saying Thanksgiving together would be a dream come true.  I privately wrote back to my mom that her looking out for my and my family's health and best interests would be a dream come true.

Anyway, what to do?  It would be nice for the cousins to see their cousins.  I don't really want my sister at my house (where she can complain about my lifestyle, and be simultaneously jealous and hurtful.)

She's 55.  She acts like she's five (and even has birthday parties for herself saying that she's five!).

I hate the holidays.  Have been avoiding them for years.  [/quote]
