Christmas karma/curse

[Marc]

Actually, this all started when I was 6yrs old and it was the first Christmas after my father had passed away. He used to drive us up to his mothers house every Christmas Eve and we would have Christmas there. The Christmas after he passed my step-dad drove us up there with my mom. When we arrived my father's brother was very offended at my step-dad having the Gaul to show his face or try to take the place of my father and as we got out of the car he physically started to assault my step-dad. It was a very traumatic experience and after that encounter my relationship abruptly ended with my very loving grandma and my parents told us bad things about the family. It wasn't until about 5 years ago that my brother, sister and I reconnected with my grandma and made steps to reconcile our relationship.

I think this may be the root of the issue.
