Holidays? Bah Humbug!

This isn't my usual attitude towards the holidays either. But this year......well things are so messed up in my family that it's just not going to be pretty. I thought that xdh would be able to hold it together for our kids sake over Thanksgiving, but instead he was a total mule and did nothing but make a mule out of himself and embarass myself and my 14 y/o.

Hey babe...I'm so sorry...I've been there done that...2 years ago, remember? Its very tough...VERY tough...and while you keep a happy, busy face on for yourself and everyone else, you also need to take time out to grieve the loss you're experiencing. I didn't do that either, and it caught up to me too...you were there to help ME through it, and now I am here to help you through it...I wish I was closer to you, so I could give you TONS of hugs and love and pull you up and get your trees up and your decorations up...the year I went through it, I didn't even put up a tree...my poor son...but he had one at my mom's where we spent Christmas, so I felt it was okay...Teri, you told me then that this would pass...that I would go on, and prosper and be happy...that you had faith in me...and now I'm telling you the same thing...so xdh is being a mule...let him...but don't let him spin you into his web...that's what he's trying to do here...he sees you out, doing better than ever, and he's kicking his own behind...if he didn't/doesn't do what he promised he would do, then you have your answers. You're OKAY. I promise. Don't let him trigger you into an episode. You've come waaaaay too far to let it happen like that. I'm here for whatever and whenever you need me and you know that I love you with all my heart.
