I hate Thanksgiving

Thete I said it... please don't hate me for it. But simply put, Thanksgiving just isn't for me.

In my defense, the reason I hate it, is because it was always a bad time growing up, as my parents were getting out of their normal routine and start driving each other absolutely mad... my Dad with his high expectations of some nice fancy meal and my Mom and her one million and one questions even repeating questions over and over and they'd drive each other insane and so thanksgiving was always parents/family fighting 100% guaranteed.


So please forgive me, if I shutdown and avoid this holiday, as I'm just trying to survive it and try not to fall into depressed (again) as I seem to some years around this time of year... even when I'm not where near any family.

Why am I typing/telling all this? Just trying to vent and talk about it and get it out in the open, so maybe it's easier to deal with this year.

I also shut down this time of year. I lost my grandmother 21 years ago around this time of year. She was my absolute favorite person and her death is something I still haven’t been able to fully process. The pain is too deep.
