Scenario

When families gather around an absence they created

Our whole family is gathering for the holidays and nobody wants to talk about the fact that Dad isn't coming this year — not because he can't, but because we all finally told him his drinking was destroying us. We did the right thing but now we don't know how to be together in his absence.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sometimes love requires exclusion, but the space left behind still needs tending.
