I've been away long enough and NC where that is water under the bridge but hearing about all the family gatherings and more it gets exhausting. I plan to eat at a restaurant community dinner for the poor on Thanksgiving and Christmas which I don't celebrate I lay low on but am usually housebound on anyhow, so it's wash. Many people sign up for the masochistic wheel of the year visiting people who treat them like crap out of obligation. I think of how I dragged myself to my mother house [100 miles is a lot of time and energy for someone of my health] and visit with people who can't even stand me. They'd screw up invites on their end not really wanting me there on purpose too.

The holidays are when we're the most susceptible to being pressured to participate. Old wounds are reopened as offending relatives act out their predictable routines. Don't volunteer for cyclic abuse, as if it were some masochistic Wheel of the Year!LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
