I remember when I used to enjoy holidays! Now I cringe when I think of them. It's so sad! I really feel that my family needs to be MY family for the holidays, not all of this visiting mumbo jumbo. My husband's family expects that we come to every freaking holiday. We only missed one since we have been back which was last Easter because we went out of town. This time we are choosing not to so we can avoid the drama. Big big drama if you haven't been reading my posts. I am so angry right now because even though we are not going to attend tomorrow and have a holiday how I want itjust DH, DD and me, I am still very anxious. I cant tell you how many of his family members have called to tell us that we are making a terrible choice by not coming. Yea... I really planned to have a family so i could sit on the sidelines for the holidays... Whyyyy do people have to ruin the holidays??!!
Anyone else feeling anxiety about tomorrow/holidays?

My anxiety is lessened because my aunt isn't coming. My autistic son doesn't like her at all and she just pushes all his buttons and is clueless at why he gets so upset.
However it is a sad time of year for me. Easter 2011 we packed our van

I already set my boundaries for Christmas. They've been set since I got married and moved out. DH and I open a small gift or two at our house BEFORE joining everyone else.
And when the twins come- if someone wants to spend Christmas Mor
I hope you have a great Easter anyway!!!
Luckily for me, my husband's family is about 3 hours away and they don't expect us to come there. I think we were invited this year, but there is no way I'd want to go there instead of my aunt's like we al
Our parents have finally started making plans to celebrate holidays on different days. For example: we had Easter dinner at Sunday at my in-laws then went to my parents on Easter day. Back at Christmas time, we went to one house the Saturda
