I know this is kinda late but who else had the worst Christmas ever? If not how was it?
My Christmas was great! I had 2 parties in my home. I did minimal decorating - no trees or outside lights. It took away all the stress of the "typical American Christmas"
My children and grand children we home on Christmas day. Thats the best present of all for me. I love to watch the little ones open their presents.
BUT ... although not the WORST Christmas I've had (the worst one was when my Ex had me served with Divorce Papers -- after Assaulting/Battering me .. damaging my car (and stealing another) .. emptying my bank accounts, destroyed the toddlers' Christmas Presents .. and I HAD NOTHING that Christmas -- not even the funds to replace the presents for the children (I had to even go into further debt to find a place to stay with the children since he was definitely continuing to harm me and stalk me all along).
This Christmas was not good either .. for the first time in almost 2 decades, I let someone into my life -- and started dating over the summer. He came down to my home over the Holidays -- and it was NOT good ... He was selfish, rude, he humiliated me .. he made emotionally harmful comments (that he thought was 'witty') ... and when he KNEW (yes, I told him) that I don't sleep through the nights because of the Flashbacks/Nightmares from the severity of the abuse that I lived through ... he couldn't even be Loving enough (or care enough) to just hold me through the WORST of the flashback/nightmare (all I wanted really -- just to be held and hear "Everything's going to be OK").
I was left feeling used .. used for a Vacation and Meals and ... like the only other Man who I let in my life after that divorce ... "I Love You" does not mean UNCONDITIONAL LOVE of me for ME .. it means that they want something .. and can only be with me on THEIR Terms ..
So I was left Crying ... and once again .. I have gone forward with the HEARTACHE ...
ALONE (and sometimes very lonely indeed) ...
but to be ALONE (and lonely) is a far, far BETTER thing to be than to have to 'settle' for someone who can't LOVE me for ME ... or LOVE the way I LOVE them ... and that is for sure.
Sglmom......find a good woman or let someone else pick out your man.
