This person also posts that sort of thing in the thread 'Canadians Traveling to the USA in 2026' which may be why there isn't as much traffic on this thread. I didn't realize there was another thread about it. I do find it interesting though.
Sorry there's mamma drama going on. My two are grown adults with their own families and that part is long gone but I do remember it and it was never pleasant. I'm hoping that you will be able to get past it quickly and your upcoming vacation will help you relax and know that all things will pass. Remember, you have a group of friends here if you just need to through something out and get it off your chest. Sometimes that's all it takes to feel better.
