Alexandra, it's absolutely the right thing to do in protecting yourself from reminders of past abuse and triggering memories. Many times being with our birth families is the last and least safe place for us to be during the holidays.
All I read in these posts is deep hurt and scars. Stay away, make your own, new traditions. Make the holidays into a happy time again for yourself by surrounding yourself with people with whom you share good conversation, warmth of feelings, commeraderie.
Don't let yourself be pulled down by Christmases past.
With great affection and best wishes
