Unfortunately Dad has not been behaving like a 'true adult'. His behavior lately in particular has been frighteningly like an infatuated irresponsible teenager.
Hubby gets the heeby jeebies just thinking about all of them, especially my disfuctional family, being here AGAIN. He's begging me not to have them all here. I agree with him that it would be a lot simpler. Unfoirtunately my mother would NOT deny that SIL could come and I believe my brother would not let her presence deter him from attending. So if the shindig ends up being at their house we are doomed to a tense atmosphere. I would like to still go but if this is going to be the case I'm not sure how I would handle it. Not attend? Go and if they start fighting, leave? That would simply cause more strife - or would it. I just don't know. I'd like to write off SIL and perhaps my brother as well. But my parents can't seem to stand up to either of them. It's sad.
