I might be wrong, but based on how Christmas went, I’m already expecting my relatives to be strongly supporting the ongoing genocide. They’ve made comments in years past about how all Muslims should be killed. I have a feeling this is going to be lovely.
If this is the case, and this could totally be wrong, I’m anticipating that I’ll be getting up from the table and this’ll be my last thanksgiving with them. I already told my parents after Christmas they can have me for one holiday this year because I can barely tolerate my relatives.
Again, things could go totally fine and we just all eat food and catch up. Thanksgiving might have better chances than Christmas.
I hope that’ll be the case. But my family is an excellent argument for God being made up.
I’m just venting and don’t really know where to put it at the moment.
Breaking away is sometimes the right thing to do, and from what you’re saying, OP, maybe you should break away before Turkey Day, not after.
I broke away for 13 years, enjoyed things better without them than with them. By the time I came back, some of the family had mellowed, others had died, and we actually have decent holidays now. It gets better.
