(Hugs) i felt incredibly guilty seeing t today, but she had offered it and i took it. I'm glad you get see her Friday tho. I hope you can cover what you need to cover. I'm sorry your parents are so difficult to stomach. My mom's actually better when she is a certain level of drunk (which she is tonight)... it can't be took much or too little. :/
anyway. I hope you can reset your Christmas memories for the year, like a button you push to start the tape over (not easy, but trying it myself this year). (Hugs)
