Fortunately for me, Thanksgiving is always a low-drama event for my family. (Maintaining a strong-enough buzz also helps.)But if your own holiday dinner menu includes an appetizer of reopened old wounds, bitter sarcasm soup, and you-never-understood-me pie, you should take a look at the blog on Psychology Today for some perspective.
Dr. Ana Nogales refreshingly notes that "it’s necessary to grieve for the family we wish we had but do not. It’s never beneficial to ignore problems and simply tell ourselves to 'appreciate what you have.'"
