 Is it January yet?
I am so dreading the holidays. I know there are a lot of people who has the same feeling. I just want to wake up tomorrow and it be Jan. Thanksgiving is swiftly approaching and up until yesterday I thought that we would be attending Thanksgiving at my sisters house. well she has decided that she doesnt want people to come over eat and go home. i dont know if she wants us all to spend the night or what. we all live within 20 minutes of each other so it would be crazy for us to spend the night. (i have 3 older sisters and 1 younger brother) my in laws are going out of state for thanksgiving so now we are alone b/c since my sister called off thanksgiving at her house the other two sisters are mad and are not talking to anyone.
I guess you really need my back story to understand completely. well here it goes, I have to warn you it might be long...let's see my father passed away from a heart attack a little over 3 years ago. he died 8 days before i gave birth to my daughter. my mother's father then passed away the following Christmas day. after her dad died, my mother turned to the bottle hard, which is really out of character for her b/c my father was a pastor. so for the last 2.5 yrs my mom has managed to drink away all of my parents retirement, she lost their house, she has been in and out of 5 different mental/alcohol treatment facilities, she has totaled out 2 cars in very bad accidents (thank God she never hurt anyone else), she now lives with some man that she meet him on Monday and moved in on Friday. last thanksgiving me and my dh were stuck taking care of her, which was bad. she becomes very angry when she drinks so it never really turns out well. we had to call the cops b/c she was threatening to kill herself and took a whole bottle of anti-depressents, so needless to say it was bad. my dh's family well they dont like me. he has one sister. his family setup is different, they all adore my SIL. my dh tells me about how when he was younger that his parents only attended his sister's activities and games, they only did what she wanted and that was it. my dh was in daycare when he was 5 weeks old and his sister got to stay at home with his mom? it is just really strange b/c the world revolves around my SIL, everything. when she comes home to visit b/c she lives out of state, they call us and tells us not ask us when we are to be at their house so she can see us, they dictate everything according to her schedule. i dont know if i am just jealous or if it is just wrong. anyway this year at thanksgiving my SIL is going to her future in laws (she is getting married in May) and she will be home at christmas. i dont want to go to christmas at their house. i hate the way they treat my dh, they treat him like he is the next door neighbor. so how do you tell grandparents that they cant see their grandchild at christmas? my dh he doesnt want to go either, but he cant tell his mom no. what do you do? how do you make it through the holidays without strangling someone? any advice would be useful even if I dont want to hear it!!
