As the weekend approaches, I can feel it coming. I can feel the darkness creeping in...

I don't want to be this way... why is every holiday the same? For 23 years I was able to keep it all pushed down and put on my happy face and deal... and now my whole coping mechanism for dealing with my FOO (Family of Origin) is gone...

Looking for support and suggestions (other than avoiding them entirely) for dealing with them...
