So often when we hear of horrific familial tragedies, it’s the same story: we saw it coming, they were fighting all the time, they were being cut off from their extended family and friends.

This holiday season, we’re diving in to the real holiday horrors that left some families with an empty chair at the dinner table. So grab your wassail!
