Happy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Me too! I think Remuda once offered to take care of a neighbor I was having problems with. :D She once encouraged me to dab a little rum behind my ears and deal with the folks causing me misery. To this day, if I have a difficult encounter to deal with, I mentally dab some rum... OP--so glad you are staying home for Christmas. Remember in dealing with your family going forward...you are (re)teaching them how to treat you. It will take time, but I have hope they will respond like grown-ups. If not, build lovely friendships with people who do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Believe me, moving away from the insanity that was my family was absolutely part of the rationale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'm so relieved to hear that you didn't go! :) Merry Christmas!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 You know, DH and I have a very small family. Actually we have NO family, except a few distant cousins and our two kids. Sometimes I wish we had more family, but then again, I'm really glad we don't, No fighting or bickering, we do what we want on the holidays....We've actually talked about taking a cruise next year over Christmas! Just because we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
