I stopped talking to my mom like 2 years ago and YMMV but everyone who has tried to talk to me on her behalf ends up agreeing with my decision when the facts are all laid out.

Most people just say "good for you! Her loss!" If they're not emotionally invested.

Maybe next year you don't have to spend the entire winter stressed out about avoiding conflict or masking.

Don't like it? Hit da bricks

I didn't talk to my family over Christmas which was pretty good. I did however have to talk to my partners dysfunctional family which was an even worse experience.

That's where they get you! You think you dodged one set of parents then your favourite people end up having parents too!
