This sucks.
These are the first holidays since my parents split up.

my mom is going to spend turkey day with her boyfriend, and my dad said hes going fishing off of west palm beach.

Maybe it just me but im very sad knowing that ill never have the old thanksgivings and christmases (?) like i used to. in fact my mom gave me all of our xmas decorations because she said she had no reason to celebrate it anymore.


family and friends are severly over rated.

 

aww dude.... HUG! Its okay...my parents are divorced too...mother is on marriage three...for a long time I was confused as to where I am supposed to spend the holidays because I was also adopted by my grandmother...I have a strange family life...I don't even know my bastard father anymore. Just try and make the best of it. Even if you don't get to spend it together like the old days anymore. Its going to be hard and I truly feel your pain...but the new year is coming and I'm sure that it will bring great new things . Gambatte ne!

 

thanks im sure ill get used to it. im just used to having my family together for the past 19 years... im just starting to deal with the finality of them being split up, and now neither parents really wants the time of day with me. its like youre grown, we have our own life..

and my cat is either dead or just didnt want to live with us anymore and my parakeet died, and i had other unsuspect shit turn up (that we talked about). i just feel like something from above toook a giant shit on me.

 

Dude I SOOOO feel your pain.....long term bf dumps me...get MUGGED...friend betrays me...damn $300+ sunglasses fall out of my car and get lost....and the list goes ON AND ON AND ON! This has been a crap year...and I know that my pain is very tiny in comparison to losing that family closeness...but I'm sure that you'll pull through We can be support buddies haha. Sorry to hear about your pets too...I hope your cat turns up! about being crapped on

 

Spend it with good friends, see if you can't incorporate more people into your "group."

I know that made losing my dad alot easier - have a ton of faces other than immediate family around on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

My parents got divorced when i was in grammar school....all i can say is that it eventually gets easier with time....just keep lots of your friends around

 

yeah well that would be the other "situation" my "group" has dissipated. i dont want to bring that onto this board.. would just cause unnecessary shit.

so i have no family or friends to spend thanksgiving with.
just my fiance and my brother.
we decided to have a small thanksgiving together. better than nothing right?

 

Better a small intimate gathering than a large one with tension everywhere . I'm sure you'll have a kick assss time! Just be thankful that you still have people who love you and that you aren't begging for a meal at a soup kitchen

 

amen

 

What, did you forget about me? What you tryin to say, huh? I dont know what to say girl, just try and keep your head up.

 

lol i didnt fo'get about ya. i appreciate the offer you and your family extended, but damnit girl i need my turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie.

not dissin the arabic food, id try it any other day of the year.. but damnit its thanksgiving lol

 

I live cross country. I spent T-day with good friends, and Xmas alone. I took a nice canyon drive to a beach in time to shoot awesome sunset photos, then oreder chinese food I dont mind being alone so much, good time to think.

This year my foks will be out for T-day, but I'm flying out Sat to shoot a TV show for 3 weeks so I will miss them OH well. Dont even know if we will have any kind of tday with the show and all. And for Xmas some friends will be in town this year So i'll spend it with them im sure.

 

Everything goes up and down, and although its all looking pretty bad, keep your head up and try your best. Everything will pick up and be 10x better soon.

 

I feel the pain.....i feel the pain. My parents divorced a few years back, now my dad has a g/f and my mom lives in Germany, havent spoken to her in over a year. So when the holidays come around, i usually spend it at my friends houses.......but christmas last year sucked, i had to spend it alone, didnt wanna intrude on anybody.

 

ACL holidays anyone?

 

I'm in! My parents just got divorced after 28 years and I just got divorced after 2 years. Now I'm in Texas with not a friend within 2000 miles. And I just found out I am going to be on call the week of X-mas so I can't go home and visit my friends or family

 

Well, if you have T-giving at your ma's house, I'm in! I'll make sure Roscoe doesnt scarf the turkey carcass this year

 

good thinking!:thinking:

 

Hmm assume ur fiance's family is not there huh. I was going to suggest to go with his family.

 

his family is insane. especially his mother. id rather have no thanksgiving than sit there and listen to her bitch and scream at people all throughout dinner


and jen, yes damnit, roscoe at that carcass last year and shat all over the house for the next 4 days. ugh

 

Just sit down in front of a big TV with some chips and dip and watch football

 

Figures... I knew something was up.

 

jesus you have no idea.. the fucking woman is like an insane 63 year old fran drescher.

last year she was convinced the roast (yea.. no turkey) was done and made someone pull it out of the oven. after many attempts to tell her it was still raw we just served itb ecause she wouldnt stop SCREAMING

and.. she likes to start shit at the table with all the family members around.

 

Sorry to hear that.
My family was never close. When my parants split it didn't really have any effect on me.

Right now I don't spend any holidays with my family.

 

hey start a new tradition... BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!! or YOUR BFs family!!! When you get married you will have to start new tarditions anyway!!!

 

I dont suppose you read anything after the first post did you?

 

Holidays aren't a big deal to me, so I wouldn't mind being by myself. My g/f wants me to go to her family's celebration, but I might just hang out at home with my cat, and eat a turkey sandwich.

 

they are to me.. was the only little bit of stability i had in my life. and now thats gone.

i think its more the hey youre life is changing, youre not a child anymore, things can never be the same, finality thats making me sad.

 

I used to look forward to the holidays...when I was married. Too much of that forced family interaction became a drag for me. I prefer to be by myself a good deal these days. Not that my g/f particularly likes that.

Sorry, Rachael...wish I could offer you something more meaningful than my outlook on the holidays, cuz it's bleak as a motherf*cker.

 

hey your honest, i appreciate that.

you should spend your holidays trying to get your doggy back. i sure as hell would

 

If I find where that miserable twat is, I'm afraid I'll do something I'll regret. Then, I'll be in jail, and my boy will have no one to care for him.

I'd rather suffer by not seeing him than put him in a situation that's unhealthy for him. Despite my desire to choke the living shit out of her, I absolutely trust her with Bailey's life and welfare. She understands his healthcare needs and she'll do anything for him, and I won't get in the way of that.

 

well as long as she loves him and takes care of him i suppose thats a relief.

my cat is either dead or he ran away.. i dont know what happened to him.

 

Yeah, my sadness and anger is somewhat tempered by the fact that he's cared for very well.

I'm sorry.
