I really don't mean to be a bummer on Christmas, but I just needed to vent. Even if nobody responds I don't care I just needed to let it out. If it was any day other than Christmas I'd call up a friend to talk about it but I don't feel right calling anyone to pout on Christmas.
If anybody had a stressful Christmas, or anytime lately, go ahead and vent about it here.
The reason I am sitting here bummed out right now is that earlier in the week I had told my mum I didn't plan on going to the family Christmas get-together today at my Grandma and Grandpa's house unless I was feeling less stressed. I didn't think I would be up to being around a bunch of people, and especially without being able to buy everyone presents.
Well she was fine with it until today and they had even decided they didn't feel like going. But about 45 minutes ago I started recieving guilt trips about how it's going to tick everyone off if I don't go. Well when they were leaving my mom said "hope you have a great Christmas, Sarah. I won't" Then they were about to get in the car and drive off and I realized I had no idea how long they were going to be gone and wanted to ask my dad. So I knocked on the window and my mom looked up and I pointed towards my dad, asking her to get his attention for me. Well she thought I was flipping her off. (which I have never done and would never do to my mother.) So she screamed "F*** you too" (with middle finger in air) and they drove off with my mom still screaming obscenities at me. Merry Christmas, right?...
I realize I have been posting bummer threads alot lately...so I really really apologize. My family situation is just very stressful right now.
If anyone else is stressed out today...go ahead and vent about it here. I think I feel a little better already after typing about it.
