Christmas Day thread for anyone affected by family estrangement

Good morning. This is a thread for anyone who is finding Christmas tough this year because of being ‘no contact’ with family, or who just wants to pop in and say hello to people in the same situation.

I am estranged from my family. It’s peaceful now in that most of the people involved have either passed away or have accepted that no contact means no contact. I’m not sad about not seeing those people, but I am sad that my little family doesn’t have ‘family’ to visit at this time of year.

Nuclear family woman here; I was full NC with the old country family though no majour drama but yes, I don't contact. All forgiven

Have been NC for 5 years with MIL. Back to contact but do not go to her Christmases ever again nor she would come to mine

I love a quiet small meal and so on here, the small number we are

I am all peace and light and silence inside. You grow to be able to feel serenity.
