Sannah- The problem is that my dad was there when this happened. He later told me that it was my fault and it was my job to keep her calm.

Elana- Having them come isn't much better. I couldn't ask them to come visit me. The only thing that might be acceptable would be to go visit, stay with someone else and have a couple of meals at their house. But since we are talking about the holidays, staying with friends wouldn't really be an option.

My mom and I did one joint counseling session when I was in high school, the only thing that came of it was I got yelled at that night about everything I said, and didn't say.

There is no way to win with my family.
