The holidays are here and my family is a mess. When will this all end? My mother left my father 2 years ago and none of us have recovered. Yes, my mother can "follow her heart" and do what is right for her. My mother is happy, at least I think she is some of the time, but the rest of us are left picking up the pieces. My father, from what I can tell will never recover from all of this. The children are left to figure out how to "fix" everything. Well, we have done our damnedest and I think we can say in a unified voice, "we quit." That's right Mom and Dad, we can no longer take on your frustrations with each other. We now have our own children to worry about. With the holidays here, it is heartbreaking for me to explain to my son why his grandfather won't be joining us for Thanksgiving. We have lost our parents, now our children have lost their grandparents. Just to get it out in the open, I am sick of it. We all are. I am done, I am not going to cry about it, lay in bed and worry or try to solve the problem. I have done all I can. I have a new child on the way that can hopefully be born into a drama-free family. On that note....
Here's my Monday photo.

well said sis! I agree about not worying - it feels slightly liberating. Sure I cried last night but today I am moving on and VERY VERY excited about our new after Thanksgiving tradtion. Now I just have to find that darn movie!
yes, yes! don't worry about other people's problems, its a waste of time and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. i know this situation is totally different for you than it is for me, but i can still empathise. just try to enjoy the perks... like your fabulous new step-sister!
