Also something to remember especially if alone for the holidays

What society tells us is wrong

“But You only have one family…” well, true… but I also only have one appendix. If its causing me problems I will remove it and I’ll be just fine.🤍

Point is it's not up to others to sit and criticise is it?

I have been on the receiving end of silent treatment from a family member for nearly 3 years now all because she couldn't have her own way after she criticised me in a nasty manner back in May 2019 and I had refused to go to ser them and looking back I'm glad She did criticise me as it stopped me from that visit and making a big mistake but it hurt at the time!

What comforts me is that the person She damages the most is herself with that kind of behaviour!

I’m sorry you’re going through that! You seem like you’re okay with how it all is and that’s good not to dwell! My family will tear me down then act like perky Barbies like nothing ever happened. Then expect me to be the only one to work on myself because only I have “communication issues….” Enter biggest eye roll ever 🙄 hahaha

[Hidden in reply to Ubud2021]

They claimed that I was supposedly awkward and ungrateful and nowadays I realise that wasn't true.

More like it's them that's cussed awkward and ungrateful in my view and also I supposedly had communication issues as well which looking back I realise wasn't true at all.

This Christmas I am making the best with what's available having a Scottish themed Christmas lunch with haggis, neeps and tatties and Cullen skink soup which was delicious!

Ubud and Catgirl,

That is pretty typical of dysfunctional families, one person will always become the one talked about , castigated and made the butt of all the nasty jokes.

As you said Ubud, only one appendix.... Mine was a gallbladder, and I'm much better off without it.

I no longer see or talk to my daughter, she is very entitled and jealous of her brother, who would change the earth's spin for her if he could.

We even moved to another country to be out of her demanding ways. I still don't think she took the hint, though.

Cheers, Midori
