Cheers to us
Notifications OFF
As Christmas day comes to a close, I just wanted to say 'Cheers' to us all for getting through today.
We are on the 'other side' but still I have down days/anxiety. Today was the first year that we would not be spending the day together (my partner will not be in same room as Brother sadly) and I was dreaded it.
So today was spent with in-laws and my Brother was with my parents (I didn't want him to be on his own xmas day).
So today I prepped dinner, got organised and then spent an hour with my parents & brother exchanging gifts and it was nice. Next year if things are the same we will have our own xmas day together the 4 of us (we will pick a day). Not sure why I am telling you this but felt I wanted to share my day x
I hope each and everyone of you enjoyed your day, whatever your day consisted of.
Sending best wishes in 2023 x

Hi - Sadsister- yes I think most of us are on some kind of survival mode over the next week or so. Xxxxx
My actual xmas day was very poignant as it is the first time my son would sit down for a meal with my OH. So for 5 months he would not even be in the same room as him ( all live together). For the last couple of weeks he started to speak to his dad, and yesterday we sat down as a family. But I know it was only for yesterday and possibly today and then go back to not sitting with us. I am grateful though as it made this xmas more normal in an otherwise non normal life. If that makes sense.
I am trying to see my situation as a new normal but my positve spin does not always work.
I hope that everyone managed some sort of normal or new normal and had a nice day. Sending hugs to anyone who is struggling. Xx
