I had been going to the parents' home for Xmas but am now reconsidering that decision. I know that the subject will come up and rather than driving 3 1/2 hours to go some place to get into an argument, get angry and leave, it might be better not to go in the first place. I have already been invited to share Xmas with friends only an hour away and know that there will be no argument there.
