[quote=Anonymous]The title says it all. My sister has always been difficult to get along with (I would argue she has diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder...) She lives about 1.5 hours away, and our families used to spend the holidays together (this was a few years ago.) Then she divorced and remarried and pulled away from the rest of the family and our relationship has become strained. Three years ago, we would speak on the phone regularly, now we don't ever. She just invited us over for Christmas, and I am torn. I don't really want to see her for Christmas -- there's just too much baggage that comes with the holiday -- but I feel like I shouldn't deprive my kids of the cousin relationship. I'm leaning towards turning down Christmas itself, but suggesting a more neutral get together over the break. Any thoughts? [/quote]
