So sorry to hear about this, Zerocool.
I had a similar situation with my bipolar lesbo sister a year ago last Thanksgiving at her house. She suddenly and unexpectedly started flipping out on me and acting like a man hating bossy butch know it all while I was talking to dad, just because she was stressed out from cooking the horrible overcooked ham from blackened hell I guess. Once she started in on me by cussing me out, for no single reason in particular, and then threw her xmas presents at me I gave her, and I figured it was time to leave. I tried to reason with her to calm her down, but reasoning with an insane person having her bipolar mood swings was impossible. So I sat out in my car for a bit to see if she would apologize, and she didn't, and I left. I figured it was the best tactic and it made her look like a complete ass in front of the family and her girlfriend. Well done, sis! And needless to say, her girlfriend now isn't her girlfriend anymore, either. And I haven't talked to her since.
You can pick your friends and you can't pick your family might be true, but just because they are your family does not give them the right to verbally or physically abuse you. And a lifetime of badly needed psychoanalysis can't be fixed with a few kind words or an apology anyway. In those touchy family situations it is just better to smile and wave goodbye, and leave them to their stupidity.
