Amy, Sorry that this had to happen. A lot of expectations about Christmas that are most of the time not met. Whatever you do, don't use over this. You know it will not make things better. It will not make your dad less angry, it will not make your step-mother less of a codie and it will not make your niece less of a brat, but it will damage you. Sending prayers your way. Stay with us and hold Elvis tight. Hugs, Marle
