I’m not having to deal with addiction problems, but I lost my mother at 13, and my husband died on 12/29. I dislike Christmas entirely. I’m even Christian and will sing in my church choir on Sunday.

Don’t do parties if they cause you pain. They all say we’re supporting to be happy, right? Do what makes you happy and forget the rest. Don’t care what others think.
