I know it is the holidays and that time of the year to visit family. Is it bad that I avoid visiting my parents. and when I do visit I don't stay long. I do love my parents I think. I never see them and that does not bother me at all. I am not close to either of my parents. not to mention they are divorced so two different visits. find this so stressful. Then there is my mom. She comes in from out of town and stays at my grandparents house were my sister lives now. then will not come to visit us but expects me to go over and visit her there. I hate the holidays. I know there are alot of emotions that I have suppressed and keep buried. and I hate when she tells the stories of when we were kids of how she rescued us from step monster. WOW I can't believe she remembers it that way. when she is the one who dumped us there in the first place.
