It ruins the holidays for me. I use to love Christmas but now I am so nervous I can't hardley enjoy it. Its a shame that I let this affect me so deeply but I cannot control it. I really want everyone to be together but my family do not like my children (their grandchildren) and its no secret. |
I am so very sorry for you that all of this makes you so stressed. I am even more sorry for your family that is so judgmental of others and ignorant of what unconditional love is. How sad that they are missing the whole point of family,relationship and what Gods love is. To keep our familys together is so much more important than our believes versus the reality of life.
My heart goes out to you and I wish you peace and joy not just during the holidays but throught this coming year.Blessings!!!
