Family...they can ruin a good Thanksgving so easily.
Had a family get-together for Thanksgving dinner, one relative went all "clean freak," chewed out another relative for touching his nose.
Viciously. Said his hands were now covered in "filth."
Then another relative got into a physical fight with her son.
Lot of pushing and shoving and others trying to keep them apart.
Glad to be home, with my kitties.

now that I live 1200 miles away! 
for my mother to go on a screaming, abusive, rageaholic meltdown.
Pretty much every day was an excuse, come to think of it, but the holidays added extra hours and intensity since we were all on lazy inconsiderate do-nothings on vacations from whatever, deliberately spoiling my mother's lazy, do-nothing every days. No wonder I loved being in school. Being bullied and teased by classmates held nothing to mommie dearest.
That's why I now spend holidays alone with my furfamily, except when I'm scheduled to work. No drama for the holidays here, tyvm.
