Abusive childhood- Christmas

Does anyone else hate Christmas because they had an abusive childhood.

I have next to no happy childhood memories. Non of the good memories that others may have of Christmas. My mum asks me to spend Xmas with her but a day with her is very difficult. J can't move on from her not protecting my childhood. I am in my childhood bedroom having a cry. All too much already. I want to go home and spend this day alone but I don't want to ruin anyone's day. I hate this and hate pretending I had a great Xmas to friends and coworkers.

This crossed my mind this morning - how lucky my kids are. They don't get loads spent on them but they have lots of pressies from family. But it's just a nice day for them. It made me think how other children don't have that kind of experience. Sorry to hear this is actually the case.
