Anyway, not an intentional hijack of LT's family situation, but I'd bet at least a dollar that some of my issues are similar to hers.
My FEEEEEEEELING from LT's post was that the whole vacation would be like an out-of-body experience. There might be points that you can nail down, like a dinner, but what gets all twilight-zoney about it is that you can SAY, "I get to choose tonite? Great, i choose chili dogs!" And you will end up nowhere NEAR a chili dog, and shamed for wanting poison the rest of the family with chili dogs. Never mind the reality that everybody could have chosen something different at your chili dog restaurant. Its like, the whole point was just to trick and shame you. To exclude you. To eff with your head. They win, and you lose.
Thanks for this!
