We usually have turkey day with my brother and sister but I really want to just have a laid back day maybe with some close friends doing nothing but bumming around and watching the lions lose. Should I tell the family I have other plans or just blow them off and not answer their phone calls. what are you doing for turkey day...?
I told my mom flat out that I dont want anything to do with the family this year. They need to start treating me like an adult, and FORCING me to spend holidays with them, when they always make me feel like shit everytime.
I said no, and Im spending it MY way. A happy way. With friends.
i was thinking since my army buddy tried to kill himself today in my apt, that maybe i could do the same and skip out on some things
I think you should call your family, though. That is, IF not doing so will cause even more family contention.
Thanksgiving can be a high stress day, depending on many factors. For anyway who might get triggered by attending the goings on, I think the much wiser choice would be to stay away. If the family can't understand that, or at least accept it, all the MORE reason to stay away from them!!!
