My family's all feuding-- it's all due to my parents' divorce & everyone on my mom's side hates my dad's side, & vice versa. anyhow, my brother & I were pretty much stuck in the middle, and my mom's side did a lot of things to try & force us to pick a [their] "side" (I was renting from my grandma & she kicked me out for talking to my dad; same grandma showered gifts on our cousins for their b-days/x-mas, but just gave us cards with 'double meaning' messages in side; our mom told us repeatedly that by talking to our dad we were encouraging him to screw her over, and pulled huge guilt trips on us if she ever found out we saw him, and called us liars if we didn't tell her ALL about the visits before she found out; that sort of thing)... also there were blogs made by my moms' friends (that I’ve never met) that were bad mouthing my dad, his family, & me & my brother (and our relationships)—well, my brother commented & told the person to mind their own business…
after reading it, my mom raged on my bro REALLY bad (at his house, in front of his 3 yr old) so he told her to leave or he'd call the cops. So now they don’t talk to each other anymore, and my 3 yr old nephew is scared of my mom. She denies he was even there & bad mouths my brother (whom I’m very close with)…
I don’t know how to deal with all the bad mouthing that I *KNOW* will occur during the holidays.... but if I don’t show up, I’ll never hear the end of it!!
What should I do?
