Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Family dynamics are never perfect, and it's really no good to keep things bottled up. However, when your family spans the entire continent and you only ever see each other a handful of times a year during major holidays, it is difficult to find a time and place to air your grievances. No one really wants to have a family spat during what is supposed to be a cheerful family reunion, but unfortunately, these uncomfortable moments are inevitable -- especially when the whole family decides to co-opt the celebration to criticize you.

Unable to handle the pressure when the rest of the family started chiming in, OP stormed out of the restaurant.
