Do you really think your Mom will get all over you if you tell her, I will not attend functions with him if he continues his behavior so you either let me stand up for myself or I don't come to family functions. I don't think cutting off family contact on big occasions is probably the best thing; unless your family life is not great? I sound like your mother now, huh! Are you young Alexis, because at some time in our lives, we all build different relationships with our parents and family and become grown up (this happens at different times in our lives); maybe this is one of those times?
