My daughter-in-law said brightly, “My whole family is coming here for Christmas—only twenty-five guests.” I smiled politely and said, “That’s fine. I’ll be away on vacation.

“You’re completely useless! You can’t even cook soup right—are you trying to poison us?” My daughter-in-law struck my head with a steel ladle, and blood mixed with soup ran down my face. I looked at my son, silently begging him to help me. But he only picked up the remote and increased the TV volume, deliberately covering up my scream.
