I'm sorry that you are spending your Holiday alone. I am too...and it really hurts. I hear exactly what you are saying.
My family is having a big Thanksgiving, but they live out of State and I am the only one here. That is my choice right now though because of the realizations that my family, unfortunately, are not healthy people for me to be around. It still sucks!! I miss the family get togethers and when you become the black sheep squeaky wheel of the bunch, you're kind of the outcast.
Is there a way that you can start a new, positive tradition for yourself this Thanksgiving? Can you do something that makes you happy, like take a candle-lit bath or go on a walk to the market and pick up some pie just for you? If you're going to be alone...no sense letting the family ruin your Holiday when they're not even there.
This year, I decided to go to work. Usually I would do anything to get the Holidays off, but I figure that even though I will be working, I will be able to spend my Thanksgiving caring for others who may also be alone and are unable to make it home. Plus I will have my co-workers around me and I can have a Turkey dinner from the cafeteria.
Do something special for yourself....something out of the ordinary...and start your own traditions!!
You can do it....and I am there with you in spirit!!
