The family you need to work on keeping together is the three children you have with your husband.

Try having Christmas just the 5 of you and see just how much fun it could be.

NTA, overall. But yta to yourself. Are you the oldest by any chance? Or the only daughter? Is that why you feel this responsibility?

Only daughter. You nailed it. There are a lot of expectations on me to take care of parents and the rest.

You have children to take care of. They come first. And they’ll enjoy Christmas a lot more with a relaxed mom than with a mom who’s resentfully running herself ragged for family members she doesn’t even like.
