Family came for Christmas even tho we don't celebrate fully but always do a proper Xmas dinner and pressies for kids. Mum died this year and dad has sold the house so first time without mum and last time we will be together in this house. I was excited about family coming- bro from London with family and sis from Scotland. My DC has mental health issues and I thought seeing family would help and give me support. I have DSis who loves cooking so was looking for help with Xmas dinner too. Ended up taking DC to hosp for MH issue on Xmas eve. No-one asked how I got on. I felt like I was being ignored. Sis not talking to me at all. Didn't help with anything so I cooked the meal alone for 10 people. Sat down to eat at 6pm and she says: "I will tell you why I'm not talking to you. You killed Mum. You're horrible. You're a martyr who does all the work to make us look bad. I'm sick of being the strong one. I've been so strong the whole year." I didn't expect praise or thanks but didn't expect vitriol either. I feel like I'm being punished for my mum not being here tho I'm trying my best to make things ok for the rest of us esp the kids. I'm having counselling and was doing well but this has set me right back. I don't know what to do. Thanks for reading.
