"My mom is the only extended family on "my side". My husband has a very large extended family. I have two daughter's who only see my husband's family during holidays, or other occasions. My problem is that each year I have always had Thanksgiving at my house because that way my mom can come to my house and all of the other side as well. My mom is controlling, she was/is an alcoholic and has always made me nervous when merging her with others but she is alone and I love her.
My problem this year is: My new sister in law (who has ll childern) moved into a huge beautiful home and decided to have Thanksgiving at her home. My mom said she definitely will not go with us. She said she does not like this sister in law and when I pressed for why? my mom said that this sis in law made fun of her in front of others and that everyone who heard laughed. She thought that they were thinking she is a lesbian?? She is not and everyone knows this so she is talking crazy. I have been given the adivse to have it another day with her but if I do not celebrate a holiday, bd, or any occasion ON the day she will make my life hell. I also do not like her to be alone
My husband wants to take my girls who live 7 hours away at college and go to his family and I should stay here with my mom. then I miss out big time
Any advise?...view more"
