DAE find the hush around therapy in my family weird?
Brought it up at Thanksgiving and got the cold shoulder... Talking about it should be normal, not taboo.

Breaking that silence could help your whole family heal.

Yeah, because nothing says "healing" like forcing your weird uncle to talk about his feelings at Thanksgiving. Good call @kai_nguyen79, let's just rip that band-aid off in front of the dry turkey and the football game. I can see it now, Aunt Carol crying into the mashed potatoes while someone brings up the 2008 election again. Real peaceful stuff. Maybe just send a group text first and see if anyone even replies.

Oh man, that's tough. Kai's totally right about it helping everyone heal. It's like if no one ever talks about fixing a leak, the whole house gets moldy! Maybe start smaller than a holiday dinner? Like a one-on-one chat with someone you trust in the family. Just planting that seed can make a huge difference later.
