I'm so sorry. I hate group gatherings too. Got out of going to Thanksgiving with my parents because my 2 sisters & their families are going to their in-laws. H's family is in California, and we don't have the money to fly or drive there (not to mention the time). It is a 2.5 day drive, and that's taking it pretty easy.

Getting through Christmas & my daughter's birthday is going to be a trial.

I'm not done with people, but I'm over gatherings.
