Nobody in my family is abusive or anything, but due to a very complicated dynamic (I grew up in family fostering, and they have passed away now, and I can't have children of my own) it means there are aspects I really struggle with now despite being a woman of rather advanced years.
It's a very bittersweet time for me, despite enjoying lots of the whole ethos of Christmas. It's kind of starting to bite hard now this week.
Anyone else feeling a bit...sad or hopeless?
