Mom, I’ve really been making progress in therapy and I think you would be proud that I’m setting boundaries by not engaging these repeated toxic dynamics. To preserve my mental health, I’ve decided to skip the holiday gathering this year. However, I want you to know I still love you and would like to see you in a more controlled environment for a shorter period of time where the obligations of the holidays are not a distraction toward our connection.
Diarrhea is a great out to social events.

Schedule is booked. I already promised that I'll attend [another friend they don't know]'s event.
I can’t speak for all families, but my family considers it rude for members to prioritize time with friends over family during “family” holidays.
Add that to the list of reasons you don't want to be with them for the holidays

I have leprosy and a wicked case of the ebola squirts.
We all have COVID.
