Thanks so much, Myles and Petunia for responding and being here for me. Sometimes it feels like everyone is there for her, but not for me. I will probably go on and go to the dinner, although it feels good to know I could say no. Yet, I believe it is best not to react to the cousin's passive aggressiveness, but to go on and just have my day on Christmas eating the big midday meal with my mother and my children, her grandchildren, as I normally would. If mother wants to have it with the cousin and us all get together to eat with my cousin ok. I realize now the cousin only has the power to make me miserable if I give her the power. No one can make me miserable. I run on Higher Power energy. I can be happy as want, enjoy my day, enjoy my kids. I have that right. I also have some good friends. Thanks.
