Holiday Conflict: How Families Really Work When Everyone "Gets Together"

By V.R. Falkenstein

Holidays are supposed to bring families together. In reality, they often just expose what has been going wrong all year. Conflicts on Holidays uses Christmas, birthdays, weddings and other occasions as a magnifying glass for relationships: parents and children, couples, patchwork families, people living alone.

With vivid scenes, case vignettes and concise analyses, the book shows how roles, expectations and old wounds interact - and where things become dangerous, especially for children. No kitsch, no self-help folklore, no "Five Steps to Harmony". If you want to understand why certain celebrations always go off the rails, you won't find comforting band-aids here, but a clear-eyed view and concrete starting points for different decisions.
