My Family Wants Me For Christmas After 8 Years Of Estrangement, But Can I Forgive Them When They Only Care About My Grandfather's Inheritance?
--------
The user (a 25-year-old man) shares the complex history of his strained relationship with his family, particularly after an incident involving his twin brother, Casey, and his girlfriend, Amy. The family had always favored the other siblings, and the user felt emotionally neglected, especially given his interest in archery, which was seen as inferior to the family's obsession with sports. Things took a darker turn when the user discovered that Amy had been unfaithful to him with Casey. The confrontation led to violence and the user being sent to live with his aunt, estranged from the family for the past eight years.
Recently, after eight years of no contact, the user's parents reached out, inviting him, his wife, and daughter to spend Christmas with them. This invitation sparked mixed emotions. The user was unsure whether to forgive them, fearing they might be more interested in his grandfather's inheritance or his daughter rather than genuinely seeking reconciliation. His wife, pregnant and reluctant to engage with the family, decided to spend Christmas with her own family instead.
The user decided against visiting his family for Christmas, feeling they had never made time for him before and that their sudden interest might be opportunistic. After doing some research, he discovered that his siblings' lives were going well, and his parents' motivations for reconnecting remained unclear. It was revealed by his aunt, who had taken him in after his family's rejection, that his grandfather had been inquiring about the user's life and family, and that his family's lies about the user’s infidelity (which caused the rift) had been uncovered. His aunt had informed his grandfather of the truth, but the family's efforts to manipulate the situation persisted.
The user now finds himself conflicted, unsure whether he can trust his family’s intentions or whether they just want a relationship with his daughter, especially since his grandfather has a strong aversion to cheating and had sided with Casey in the past.
