On holidays, my family insists on gathering together and sharing a meal. It's fucking terrible.
Have you considered calling CPS? What a terrible situation.
Sadly I'm 32 and I don't think there's much they can do for me.
Family meals can be overwhelming, and even traumatic depending on the family. After I got married, I could at least take every other year off. It's now really just me and my dad who are left, and he doesn't really put much effort into relationships. I miss them all so so much. I don't really miss the chaos at family gatherings, but I'd deal with it again. Just make the most of your time with the ones you care for.
