I've read some of the responses. I think you are right to do what you are doing. I don't know you or your parents. I doubt you or your parents are monsters. We are all people, humans, and humans can do some pretty fucked up stuff to each other. The most fucked up stuff usually happens in the name of love. Follow your gut. If visits are going to be nothing but constant baiting and goading, who wins? What sanctity of family are you perserving by swallowing anger or fighting every holiday?

You are not taking the easy way out. Good for you for having courage of conviction.
