[quote=Anonymous]OP, Just start spending holidays somewhere else with other people. Your spouse's family, or find some local friends that don't have extended family they spend it with, or even just your own nuclear family. Then, cherry pick the people you DO want relationships (your Dad,your brother, your half sister, etc.) and INDIVIDUALLY do things with them. Go out to lunch with just your brother. Go for a hike with just your Dad, etc. FWIW, what would happen if your step-mom died? Over the course of 25 years, your Dad has likely grown close to his step children--and may still spend holidays with them, even if their mother is no longer around.[/quote]
