Chapter 19 - Agatha loses social control
The family stopped using her house for every gathering.
Not because I demanded boycott.
Because people became uncomfortable.
One cousin hosted Easter.
Another hosted July Fourth.
Agatha hated it.
Her power had partly come from being:
Host.
Matriarch.
Gatekeeper.
Dinner at Agatha’s meant Agatha’s rules.
Once gatherings moved, people behaved differently.
No seating hierarchy.
No speeches about respect.

No child corrections by committee.
Strange how much authority can live in a dining room.
