We went out to eat for Thanksgiving last night as my daughter had to go to the other side's for the afternoon. It is hard to pull off even a small dinner and have the poor kid try to eat two dinners in one day. LOL I didn't mind it so much. But yes, thoughts, prayers and hugs for all. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 44928858 United States 11/25/2016 04:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw a thread about people who had to spend the holidays alone this year and it really moved me. Quoting: Utmost Deplorable Publican. This was the first Thanksgiving I didn't have to spend it in jail, in rehab or in prison. Before that I was an addict; still am a 'recovering' addict and always will be. There were so many years in my addiction I spent holidays alone by choice. I know it's not the same but I know what it's like to be alone from alienating myself from everyone around me or from burning so many bridges that nobody wanted me around. I am in no way suggesting that's why some of you spent the holidays alone. yes, it is, you fukface! that's exactly what you're suggesting. . |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 69402256 United States 11/25/2016 04:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What a moving post. Surely people like you with open minds are why Christ chose to go to the places where he was accused of hanging out with drunkards and sinners... A lot to think about here...those who have suffered much perhaps have less ego and interference from receiving truth... Anyways your post is very insightful and uplifting for these holidays...you are much appreciated! Thank you and God bless you! |

Perhaps you have not been brought down low enough yet to be freed from your own ego so you remain hostile? |

While I was rehabbing, I spent 3 Christmas's there, to this day , a Christmas song can cause a flashback to a very trying time. Conner |

I know it's not the same but I know what it's like to be alone from alienating myself from everyone around me or from burning so many bridges that nobody wanted me around. I am in no way suggesting that's why some of you spent the holidays alone. At all. I'm just saying that it's important for ALL of us to remember the ones who had NO ONE to spend the holiday with; who didn't have a fancy turkey dinner with all the trimmings; without even a soul to talk to that wasn't online or on a phone; who will spend this holiday alone, cold, broken, depressed beyond comprehension; the ones who will very likely cry at some point today and many times through the rest of this holiday season. My heart is with you. My prayers are with you. My love and my soul and my spirit are with you. And remember; whatever you are going through THIS TOO will pass. No matter what it is. IT WILL PASS. Things do eventually get better. Then they get worse. Then they get better. Then they might get even better. Then they might get even worse. It's just life. If you're going through a dark night of the soul, or a dark year of the soul, or a dark decade of the soul, IT WILL PASS. I'm not the most religious person in the world and of sinners I am absolutely one of the worst and I don't deny that. But I will say an extra prayer tonight for you - if you need it. If you need to get something off your chest or vent or cry - I'm here. Feel free to reach out because this GLP'er is in your corner. I love each and every one of you. And I am thankful that you are here and found this thread. >> I spent yesterday alone. I haven't spoken with my 3 sisters in 8 years and they are not the nicest people. They are very hateful and miserable and I would rather not be around them. My mother was mentally and verbally abusive to me as a child and I would just prefer that she goes away. She had no use for me as a child but now that she is old she wants me around all the time. They say you pick you family before you are born--ummm, I don't think so as I wouldn't select a hateful and miserable group of people. |
