I Walked Away

This year is the first year I won't be home for Christmas.

20 years of brokenness in my family.
Abuse of every kind.
Hate.
This year I walked away from the mist toxic people I know.
Their precious dining table will have an empty seat this year.

The thing is, they'll probably be fine with it.

You are not alone. I am at my second Christmas not seeing my family. I have no regrets.

@ScreechOwl justbecause they raised you doesn't make them family

@SW-User True. In a sense I don't have a family and never did. I am hoping to meet a woman that will change that.

@ScreechOwl that'smy story.
I found that woman.
