As the rest of the holidays draw closer, my sadnes and nightmares get worse. Spending my 7th Xmas in a row without my daughters and my 14th alone, I withdraw to solitude so I don't drag others down and taint their holidays.
After so many years alone, you would think a person would get used to it. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the holidays as best they can. Take care everyone.

I understand and have a habit of doing the same. I do want to emphasize, though, that you shouldn't feel obligated to keep quiet just because of a season. Personally, I'd rather you post here than suffer alone through to the first. Regardless, if I don't hear from you until then, take care.

Hey, I know exactly how you feel. Being alone is never a good thing and neither is staying quiet. I'm sorry you are going through rough times right now but it will not get better by silence. Solitude only makes the pain worse.

Please keep posting over the holidays. I will be alone too and would love someone to talk to ( even thru typing). Take care of yourself, ok?

I do hope you continue to post here if it helps. Nobody here would judge you (or anyone) as "tainting" anyone or anything... I send love

A lot of us will be here through the holidays so keep posting. A lot of us feel alone during the holidays and use this as our family.

I will see my family (some of it) around the holidays, but I will be alone on the actual holidays. Please don't feel you're dragging people down. I, for one, am grateful for your honesty...You are certainly not the only person to be alone on the holidays. It seems the holiday season gets meaner every year - as if the cold and dark winter wasn't difficult enough!

Same. Been about a decade alone. Not getting easier. Family-ish holidays are the worst.
