while his girlfriend always annoys me I am nothing but nice, civil towards her. I just don't pretend that our relationship is more than it is, which she loves to do. My dad while he disappoints me in so many ways,.
Your father reminds me of our potus, and I only wish for you he is as rich.
As for her, if she is in her 50es, then she reminds me of another woman I know,
so keep your civil distance with her for your own good.
On top of that she is buying me an Xmas gift. I am choosing not to buy her one. We have told her not to buy us gifts. Us siblings, we don't even buy each other gifts.
.....
I don't think I am being rude by rejecting her dinner nor not buying her a gift in return?
Buy her a box of Russel Stover chocolates from Walgreens. It's the worst brand of chocolate and tastes like crap, so that's what I buy for people when I'm forced to get them a gift but would rather not deal with them in general.

Really mature of you. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't think Russell Stover is bad at all. My mom bought a box of Whitman's Sampler from Russell Stover every Christmas and I continue the tradition. It's actually very good.
Chocolates do make things better. My advise OP - bring chocolates. Or send chocolates if you don’t want to visit. Also include a nice note.
Do what you want to do- just be kind (and write that note!).
So it was yesterday and I didn't go. Basically it turned into a **** show.
My older sister who originally wasn't going to go only went for 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes my dad's girlfriend's daughter, the recovering addict (who did show up too but wasn't going to originally), was very rude to my sister, and my sister confronted her. Basically my sister walked in with my niece and my dad's GF's daughter ignored my sister completely, rolling her eyes at my sister when my sister said hello to her as she walked in the house. It turned into an argument between my dad's GF and her daughter who eventually apologized to my sister for being "rude".
But then, my father confronted my other siblings who are younger than me, because they have been extremely selfish lately, and were not partaking in the family activities, and doing their own thing in the house, and my dad, because he lacks common sense and objectivity, essentially got real nasty towards them and made my youngest sister cry and pissed off my younger brother. He basically told them "If they don't give a **** anymore, he won't give a **** about them anymore" were his words (as my sister retold it to me). It blew up and turned into a big argument. Everyone was bitter, because no one actually wanted to be there, but felt obligated to so everyone had a bad attitude.
This all happened within 30 minutes. My sister upon experiencing this left right away because she didn't want to deal with it. She called me and told me "What was the point of that dinner?!".
Now because of the fighting at that dinner, we have to have a family meeting next week with my dad and my four other siblings to discuss what went down. I am not sure why I have to go since I wasn't involved, haha. I was the only sibling that didn't go. On top of that my dad's GF want's to join us for that meeting too. I told me dad she better not.
Thank God I didn't go, because it seemed like a crapshoot. I don't have time for that crap. Had dinner with a friend and enjoyed my night thoroughly.
