Hi you guys! I'm glad you made it thru the holiday and are feeling some better
I am feeling some "good-natured" pangs of jealousy. I really hate to whine on line..........

Did you catch the rhyme? Totally unintentional, but I'm making an exception here. Thanks for letting me. My holiday has ranked up there with the worst of my adulthood. My eyes are swollen almost closed from crying and I feel like a train-wreck.
My 22yr. old daughter was not with us for the hoildays for the 1st time since she was born due to her serious drug addiction problems. My mother tried to commit suicide almost a year ago and is now somebody I don't even recognize cause she has become soooo vicious with her anger. There are no boundaries as far as what she spews at me. My step-father & I are her primary targets. My younger ( only sibling) brother is an alcoholic and he drank his holiday evening in response to the tension of the evening. My t has gone away with family for the holidays and I don't have an appt. till Jan7. AND no way to touch base w/him. OK.......guess I'm done. Sorry if I got too carried away. I tried to keep it bare bones w/out details. And....yes....I am wallowing in self-pity tonite.
I'm sorry pin. I just realized I attached myself to your post and got off track. I honestly didn't mean to do that. I hope you forgive me. I don't feel like re-typing.
