long story short, my parents are divorced and I'm going to spend christmas with my dads side of the family. I should have a damn choice since I'm 18 but my dad's making me go. so I don't know what to do anymore and I'm stressed out over this
For what it is worth several friends and associates have it as more than their life is worth to have to be at a given parent's place, this despite being considerably more than 18.
All that said if you are not going to end up hurt then choose to have a good time. You might well be able to have a better one elsewhere but no sense making it a bad one,
