A few months ago, my wife and I moved to get away from my parents. My mother is typical narcissist. We are currently living with my in-laws with my kids, through the transition. My family is very happy, my in-laws are lovely, and my parents are bitter.

My mom is your typical narcissist. After 7 years of marriage and 2 kids, my wife is cordial to my mom, but she will never have a relationship with her (at this point I don't care, and I always support my wife).

Two weeks ago my parents came out and took us out for dinner (my in-laws don’t come. They want nothing to do with them.). At the end of the meal, my mom brings up thanksgiving. She has been sick for a while, and now feels better. She announced “I would like to host it at my house this year.”

My wife said that we were probably doing it at my in-laws. And that they are invited. I told my mom this was our decision, and we appreciate her offer to do it at her house but we want it at my wife's parent's house this year.

My Mom got angry, and started screaming in front of the restaurant: “Invited!! Invited!! We’re your family too! We should be included in the planning!”

I said: “mom, dad:..this is what my wife and family want. I'm sorry, but at this point in my life...they come first...you come second!” You're invited...what is wrong with that?

My dad goes “we come second? Well I just made out my will and you are getting half...Maybe I have to rethink that if I’m second!” (This was said in front of the restaurant while everyone was waiting for valet, and I'm carrying my daughter in my arms listening to everything).

A fight erupted from there, in public outside the restaurant as we waited for our cars. I honestly don’t want to see them anymore. They are miserable, selfish people. They take something like “invite” and twist it to be such a horrible thing.

This was two weeks ago and we haven't talked since. The worst part is my mom is terminally-ill, and she uses this as a weapon. My wife's side is like 12 people, my side is 3. These 12 people would never come to my mom's house, aren't fond of my parents, and quite frankly shouldn't be asked to go.

This is why we moved away, after an entire life of this type of abuse, I simply can't take these people anymore!!! I'm so lucky to have my wife, my in-laws, and a glimpse of what a sane family looks like..
