My immediate family has done nothing short of inflicting emotional devestation on me the past two years. I started thinking the other day, "if you want to be loved and show love during the upcoming holidays, why not "regroup"? If you can't be with the one you love, then love the one your with.....make your own custom holiday by entertaining and connecting with other family members, godparents, etc.? I may try it. Why waste away because of people who are not worth it? And who knows, maybe word will trickle back and give you the last word. We can't help who our relatives are, so start creating yourself a new set! What do others think of this idea??

I think it is a great idea! Sometimes we tend to get caught up in the word "family" and forget that it can include others as well. Good friends can be like family too. Break out of the "what's expected" mold and go for it! :)

i like this idea too! however, i don't know how to "get away" from the actual day of like christmas....i can't see myself telling certain family members to not come (although i sometimes wish they wouldn't). but last year i had a little xmas party in december with just friends..i had to prove to myself that i could still have fun without certain family. good luck to you! :)

I agree, no sense to pretend or the next day receive a terrible email saying don't be mean to me- happened with one relative
my aunt told me that she will tell me if there are any family parties and it got to the point that I stopped going to certain stores and moved across town., another aunt will say 2 minutes please on the phone and this is since the loss of mommy. i sent cousin a halloween package and received email stating something about my nephew- he doe not talk to me- she knows it I use to work on holidays- I agree that it can be better to break out of the mold once in for all -I support you

A wonderful idea!
I have, for most of my adult life, spent time with my "adopted" families during special times. These are people who treated me like family should treat it's members.
