[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 640663, member: 18516"] Oh GM, I am so sorry you had a hurtful day. On a day that we should be reflecting on what we are thankful for you had to endure emotional pain. I suppose you can be thankful that you survived the day. I love the holiday's and I think the true meaning of them gets lost on many people. A time to get together with family and friends to celebrate, appreciate and love one another. The key word here is family. We have our DNA family which we cannot choose and we have our "family" that has become part of our lives and it's these special "family" members that appreciate us for who we are, these are the people we should spend our holiday's with. Staying home alone on a holiday or subjecting myself to toxic people, I would choose staying home alone. We can love our DNA family but we can't make them behave. Your mental well being is much more important and needs to be guarded against these toxic people. You are on a journey of healing, of wanting a better life for yourself which you deserve. Stay focused on that and if your DNA family can't support you then you need to distance yourself from them. Today is a new day, you survived another encounter with your family, you learned from it, you have grown, now let it go and move on. Sending you warm hugs from a very snowy and cold northern Illinois. :2cold: [/QUOTE]
