I'm going to stay out of stores from here on in, except the small grocery across the street and Kroger when I have to. I watched in horror last night while the male of a young couple was low key abusive and angry about and while shopping. It really affected me. He hates himself for not being a good enough provider and hates everything else for making him feel that way. That's how I always felt when I did Xmas presents. I don't have to go see my parents on Xmas, do I? I could tell them I'm sick, which with bipolar is pretty much Always true.
