I will be alone all day, with my cats. My daughter has not communicated with me for one year, since I had a breakdown & was hospitalized. We were extremely, dearly close. So holidays are like having a knife twisted in my side (her husband is encouraging her to stay away from me because he's a vindictive jerk).
My son and his girlfriend are traveling, as they usually do for holidays.
My husband is picking me up at 5 so we can go to dinner, which I am very excited about.
I am terribly lonely, mostly because I miss my children...never thought we'd spend holidays apart. But any big gathering would be miserably stressful for me at this time, as I am exhausted from mental illness and all of it. So being able to rest and sleep all I want to is a bittersweet joy.
