Scenario

When family traditions exclude some family members

My family does a big Christmas every year at my parents' house but my sister-in-law has celiac disease and my mom refuses to accommodate it saying 'she can just bring her own food' and it's causing tension every holiday. My brother is caught in the middle and I can see him pulling away from family events.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family ritual meant to bring everyone together is systematically excluding someone, and the group is choosing tradition over inclusion while watching a member slowly disconnect.
