I used to have 2 people like that in my family. My 2 sisters are alcoholics except 1 of them has now quit drinking until she drinks again. When my parents were alive and it was any of the big 3 holiday's one of them would be smashed. The sober one would argue with the drunk one - the kids would get involved (my oldest sisters kids usually) and BAM! the holiday would go to hell in a hand basket. Ruined basically every holiday. Now that both of my parents are gone I don't have to suffer and do holidays with my sisters. I nixed that tradition last year and boy what a relief it was!!!! No more holiday dinners with them and my immediate family couldn't be happier! I am sure my parents looking down are sad - my dad was a big one with - family is all you got - well I have my dh and my kids -that's all I need lol!!!!
