Thanksgiving

As Thanksgiving approaches,  I have begun to realize how broken my family really is. My aunt recently gave birth to my new baby cousin and I have yet to meet her because of family disputes with my mother. My mother and her parents and sister have had this on going feud for years. She believes they treat her sister and their friends better than her and her family. Recently, she wanted some help with a family issue and all they said was, "Sorry." My mom was outraged. It was planned that we would go down to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving and we all could meet my new cousin and see how my aunt is doing. But after my mom got angry with my grandparents, she refuses to spend the holiday with them. I think it's a bit drastic, because it is her side of the family. Stuff like this has been going on since I moved to Reno. My mom changed the plans so that we would go spend Thanksgiving with my step family. However, that would not be until Saturday. Though I care for my step grandparents, I would rather spend it with my blood. I don't mean for that to sound bad in anyway, but I miss them so much. My mom hasn't let me spend any holiday with them for what seems like years. I understand that she and my step father have a ongoing feud with my grandparents, but I don't think that she should keep me from seeing them. She told me last week that we would not be having a feast on Thanksgiving, but save it for Saturday when we go down to see her "new" family. She told me that I could go spend the actual holiday with my grandparents and cousins and I was ecstatic. I started making plans with everyone and then she tells me this morning that we are going to have a mini feast with just us. I know it's holiday season and we should be thankful for family, but I do not agree with my mother's actions what so ever. I'm completely against it.
