In short, worst Thanksgiving ever.
I don't know - it sounds like you broached the subject with your mom more than you have before. You haven't punched your dad (therapeutically) in the face yet, but you're allowing yourself to be angry at them which you didn't use to do.
I agree with David, you did start confronting it - you brought it up to her - you SAID you didn't like him. I think that is HUGE.
Why would you mother think you wouldn't want to go to your sisters? Or did SHE not want to go?
Yes, and you reminded her she was there and so did not let her off the hook. That's pretty awesome.
Yeah, if it's just one thing more than you've said to her before (or one thing repeated), it's still one thing! Which is more than zero things. I'm just saying.
No, it will be under the coat. I figure that's about as much as they can expect from me.
At least there's a coat!

I don’t really understand what goes on in her head, but I guess the latter.
I am dressed and ready to go. Except I don't have to leave for ten minutes, so I'm hot.
I'm sorry you had a stressful day, Tom. Family is crazy.
Anyway, sorry you had a shitty day, Tom.
