Thank you so much. I know you’re right. But it’s just taking them a lot longer to get over this one then I hoped it would.

Jodi, I know it’s not a huge consolation now, but you ARE a part of the family that matters. They just don’t know that. They CAN’T know that because of how screwed up it all is. Stay true to yourself and you will be fine.

If you need to take a crazy escape trip, all I can say is, Boston is beautiful this time of year….

Thank you for the very kind invitation. But I think I will deal with my broken, hurting family on Thanksgiving the best way I can. It’s the least I can do for Jaycie and Max, since all signs point to my parents and Sister #3 & The Tibbles not attending.

My stomach hurts just thinking about it.

That invitation to a turkey-less turkey day is still open. We’re making cauliflour, potato and green bean curry, brandied sweet potatoes, too many other sides, lots of wine and music. I’ll make David serandade you on his new guitar. Doesn’t solve the family issue but you’ve got friends who love having you around.

Shokku you read my mind. That’s also one of the scenarios playing out in my head.

But for today I am not going to think about it. I promised myself there would be no tears spilled over this today.

People are so stupid. Don’t they know they might all be dead tomorrow and none of this bullsh!t will make any difference to the universe? Crazy. It’s sad that you’re hurting. Maybe getting away for the holidays is a good idea. Spend your time with the people that love you by choice (aka friends). OR you do the big T-giving meal and send out invitations but only to those cute neices and nephews of yours. Screw their parents, those selfish bastards.
