Last spring my parents had a small family get-together (just siblings). Near suppertime, we had decided to use paper plates, but my brother (who has small health issues) decided that he wanted a full spread, so he went and set the table with all the fixings and trimmings. Then, totally out of the blue, he called me a dirty little c***s****r for not helping him set the table. I was so totally stunned and heartbroken that I left without saying another word. Two weeks later my mother calls me and blames me for ruining the supper, because I shouldn't have left. She claims I have a bad attitude and I should have just forgave my brother. Well, its been several months and I thought that was all water under the bridge, but now with the holidays coming up, my mom does not want a family get-together again because of my 'bad attitude.' I don't know how to feel about this. Did I over-react in the first place? Is there something I can do to make this all better?
