I found out I won't have to go to the depressing family thing because I will be with my parents seeing my nephew. I am excited about getting away for the weekend. I am also excited about seeing him. I want to give him lots of hugs. I am also excited about not having to deal with the bad family dynamics that happen in my family. I usually end up in a not so good place after dealing with my family for an extended amount of time. So I was glad my dad offered for me to go with them.

Christmas is going to be different and I'm not sure how that will play out. My family is changing and my Grandma isn't taking it real well and is taking it out on the family. I feel caught in the middle and need to learn not to take it personal when she attacks.
