Re: Thinking about the holidays makes me want to puke already...

[Guest guest]

Typically my nada has some kind of meltdown, whether it's Christmas, Easter, her

birthday. A couple days before Easter she had one of her faux emergencies and we

spent hours in ER while she enjoyed herself. Then she cut us off, wouldn't talk

to us on the phone, etc. Told the neighbors that we don't do anything for her on

Easter. Yeah, right, What about the Easter basket I make for her every year and

taking her out to eat?

The Christmas before that she shut down, refused to talk to us on the phone or

allow us to come over to see her during that week. No idea what her problem was

but it sure stirred up the stress.

Looking back at her various marriages, I always thought the holidays were

screwed up because of the husband being angry and fighting. But now I believe

she starts it.

I promise myself I'll deal with it better but when it rolls around, I still get

angry and sick and spend too much time in the bathroom. LOL Yep, stress hits

me right in the bowels. On the bright side, I never gain weight over the

holidays.

with their cousins but I will find a perch on a grinchy hilltop somewhere while

I grin and bare it.

This year, I am looking forward to ZERO craziness. No bpdMother to spoil the

fun, and tell me how WRONG everything in my life is...

Except for the part where I meet my boyfriend's father, who has some " issues "

with race. Ha!!! We'll see how much fun I have...
