The mother is worried about offending her mother, so she denies her daughter a true Christmas dinner and opts for the gigantic family potluck at the grandmother's house, where the daughter feels incredibly uncomfortable. *the daughter is related to these people, but by no means are they family*
The mother than goes on to explain that her mother *the grandmother* is 70 and may not have that many years left.
Now the daughter points out the fact that she has "survived" two suicide attempts, and even though she's only 17 every year could be her last.
Who has a better argument on the issue? The mother worried about the grandmother's feelings, or the daughter worried more about how the mother will feel when she finds the suicide note because this was just another piece of what's pushing her that way?
