Everyone has their own vision of what the holidays should be, and for families, the important thing is to respect each other’s boundaries while enjoying their time together.
But Reddit user Pure_Dragonfly_8960 claims his brother and sister went behind his back and contacted their biological father, who abandoned them years ago—not that he had been a good parent before that, either.
Even more, they invited the man for Christmas dinner, which our Redditor was getting ready to host. So he kicked out his siblings and canceled the whole thing altogether. And while it initially felt like the correct decision, the flood of texts that quickly followed started planting doubts in his mind.

Why do people think xmas is a time to make up with people who a****d you? Why do people think they can force you to have a relationship with your a****r when you are an adult. Nope, OP, people don't change and it is inevitable that he will a***e them in one way or another. Also, if he wanted a relationship now, HE should have reached out starting with an apology and then be reminded of why he is persona non grata.

To answer the "Why do people think xmas is a time to...?" question, too many people watch too many Hallmark Christmas movies.

True story or not, your home is supposed to be your safe spot. Imagine the people around you that are supposed to have your back would invite your archenemy into your safe spot. To your home.

Yep. The three years that I lived with my now-ex, I actually didn't live in his childhood home with him like my mother and sister thought - I lived in another of his parents' properties with him. One that my mother and sister never knew existed, let alone know the address of. My mother ábused me in every way one can ábuse a child throughout my entire childhood/teen years, and my sister joined in the ábuse once she was old enough to. My ex was bad in his own ways, and I had to move back home eventually last year to escape him, but those three years of knowing that my mom and sister literally *could not physically find me* were so unbelievably peaceful in that regard.
