Reader Challenges - Who's Coming to Dinner?
What to do about David? He showed up on Thanksgiving, sitting quietly on the sofa with his girlfriend. He was hooked again, although as usual, nobody discussed the eight hundred pound gorilla in the room.
Mom sat in the corner, always forgiving, always slipping the "boys" some money, always buying their stories about what the money was needed for, even though everyone knew the money would just be shot into their arm.
And I cooked my fabulous dinner. And pointedly ignored David and Terry. Not welcoming them into my home. They finally made their excuses and left us to our dinner with the gorilla.
Now that David is dead, I live with the fact that I turned my face away from my brother when all he wanted was to spend the holiday with the family.
I suck.
