      Hi everyone I just want to come on and say that I hope everyone is doing ok. I have been having a bad week. Christmas for most of us on here is a dreaded time. My emotions are already all over the place. I promised myself last year that I wasn’t doing another year living in misery with him yet here we r, iv been upset all weekend I could just run away. But just got to keep fighting iv got wee kiddies who need me.

      Sad and alone
      Participant

      It’s sad isn’t it that everyone around us is looking forward to Christmas and we just have to figure out how to navigate around it. We don’t have a family so it’s just us. I have a relative I was going to visit for a few days before Christmas but that’s off the table now as me going just caused more arguments. I get sad at Christmas as I miss my parents. I miss those childhood Christmases that were so special. Now they’re usually just anxiety-laden hoping nothing goes wrong. That and new year are the worst.

      My thoughts always return to the ladies of this forum at Christmas.  I counted my years to freedom in Christmases; it can be the most difficult time of year for many, I know.   My best wishes for a peaceful Christmas and a happy new year to us all. x

      Sending love to you all!! Christmas is such a hard time. Stay strong ladies xx

      this will be my first Christmas without my ex in (time frame removed by moderator), bitter sweet and very surreal! Still got anxiety but I know for a fact I will not feel how I do every year with him. I honestly didn’t think this time last year I’d be alone ( well at mums) feeling proud although sad at the same time.
