[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm proud of you. You are coming out from under the fog. The reality is that your mom should 100% supportive of you not wanting to be in the same room as your sister. If she gives you grief for not coming, she puts appearances over protecting you and your family.[/quote]

Thank you.  Mom is not going to be supportive of this decision.  I anticipate that she will think I'm being selfish by putting my own needs in front of my kids' (remember-my kids know nothing about the big fight, so she won't view a visit as being harmful to them) and parents'.  She sees my sister as sick and needy, so she will view this as an unrelentless and ungracious move. [/quote]

If that is the case, your mom is putting the preferences of one of her children (and frankly, of herself for the desire for an instagramable holiday) above the PHYSICAL and emotional well being of another. Imagine if this were the case with your own two children, where would you fall?

Your mom bears some responsibility to you as well. You may be old and mature enough not to need it, but it doesn't make it any less wrong.[/quote]
