How do you get through Christmas or any gathering with a large family when it puts you on edge? I know I'm a sensitive soul, I like my own space and peace and quiet, so being with a large group of loud family members makes me feel really uneasy. But not only that, every time we're with them they make comments, like insults really but laughed off as a joke. I try to laugh it off and pretend it means nothing but it eats away at me. Bad enough if it's directed at me but especially if it's directed at my children. I know that's just the way they are and it will never change but I just can't stand it. I've spent so many years feeling like this and I have to spend time with them for my husband and children's sake. Yes the children enjoy being there and no I can't just not go. I don't really drink much either so can't just get bladdered to forget about it! Help 🙁
