I wish DH could just disengage, but we get dragged back into this mess three times a year. The mantle is practically a shrine to my BIL's family. Why do people do this? It's so destructive! I try hard, But I don't think it has anything to do with me, the lady just has a chosen one. Sigh. I hate holidays.
