Worst was the realizations I had about my family who I all really do love. My cousins hate our side of the family, all of my family are borderline homophobic (closeted bisexual here), transphobic, misogynistic, and racist. It was also held at my grandparent's house and they are avid hunters/shooters, I have suffered from anxiety and suicidal/intrusive thoughts for a while now. This all remains undiagnosed because my parents (I'm a teenager) don't seem to care. It was hard to sleep and function knowing there was an unlocked cabinet full of guns with a box of ammo in the next room. Don't get it wrong I love my family but this was hard
I am so sorry. I hope you can find a way to get the help you need. Hugs and love to you.
The worst thing this Christmas was going to my mom's side Christmas. My grandmother on that side prefers boys and younger kids, and I'm a girl that's a teenager. For the last 2 or so years I've gotten about 1-2 less gifts because she "lost" them, and this year I was missing 3. One of which was a Nintendo gift card. My parents are fed up with it and so are my uncle and aunt (they're the only people on that side who we actually like to be around because they also tend to defy my grandmother). I guess at least I have people that care, but I just wish I knew why she doesnt love me as much as the other kids. She loves my sister and cousins and they get all of her attention, but not me. It makes me feel like a worthless person even though I know she's just a horrible woman. I just wish she cared about me.
You are not worthless. Please don't feel that way. You are a beautiful person and toxic people like your grandmother don't know what they are missing out on. Love yourself and let it go. Lots of love and hugs for you.
My only good memory of Christmas this year was seeing my kids more excited about their toys than the tablets they got. My worse part of Christmas, being miserably sick the whole day so I wasn't as active with my kids as I wanted.
That is exciting!!! I hope you feel better and have a great new year!!!
The best part was I got to see my grandparents and I was very grateful for that since due to covid things have been tricky. The bad part wasn’t exactly bad just sad and made me feel nostalgic for my childhood, my family (not me as I am a teenager) has been going to my grandparents for chirstmas for around 25 years and this was our second (first being 2020) christmas not being at their house.
That is hard to deal with. My family is struggling with the same thing.
Worst: first Christmas without our grandad ( closest thing me and my siblings had to a dad )
Best: my sister being last stages of pregnancy and seeing her and her husband so excited to become parents for the first time
I definitely understand this. My great-grandpa passed away right before Christmas last year and also right before my aunt and uncle (who have been married for 15 years and up until the last couple of years weren’t sure if they wanted or could even have kids) found out they were having their first baby. It is difficult not having him here to see the baby and not having him here in general. Congratulations on the new addition to your family and I’m sorry for your loss.
