Over the last I don't know how many years, I had forgotten how to have fun - and alcohol and drunk people were not required on this day!! This was further confirmation, for me, that I don't need to drink to have fun - just being around people I like, doing something we all enjoy.
This is great but I have to ask, is there a history of alcoholism in your family? I'm not a professional but some of the things you bring up (for example what you wrote) lead me to think there might be.
Another reason I ask is that your Ws attitude towards you (laundry issue in front of everyone) is an example of how she projects her anger. YOUR reaction to that makes me also wonder if there is a history of some addiction in your family and/or hers.
This is not to say that if W reacts that way there are signs however I'm connecting a few examples that you've shared.
AND! I can't believe there was a FIVE FOOT rattlesnake around you guys! I wouldn't know what to do!
