I did the party scene many years with my folks.
My one 1/2 brother was self medicating on street drugs. And stealing. So we didn't want anything to do with him. We tried. But he didn't want help. Preferred living on the street or in drug dens with his druggie pals.
So I'm relieved that now they're older, they've picked up the slack.
I haven't spent Christmas with them for 19 years.
They don't want to come to Costa Rica. Ok with me.
I do believe that they do understand that they trigger episodes. Maybe I'm kidding myself.
Either way, I'm healthier on my own.

I feel the same way OS, my brother and sister are triggers for me.
We have not spoken in a couple of years now and though it still hurts me deeply
I have come to realize that I am healthier with out them in my life.

I never liked sitting at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
I'm the only vegetarian in the family.
