where to start Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 for all of you who are dealing with a newly discovered (or maybe not so newly discovered) affair...how do you handle a holiday? family, friends, conversations, interaction, emotion...isn't it just all a recipe for disaster? how can I be expected to sit in a room with a bunch of people who have no clue what he's done and still think he so great without losing it?
Spark1111 Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 If you cannot do the day, don't.... I didn't do holidays the same way for almost two years. They triggered me big time. What are your options? 1
HampdenMom Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 This is going to sound strange, but I plan to enjoy every minute of the holiday tomorrow. I've spent every holiday since 1984 with my husband's family (my side of the family is profoundly fractured). Since this is my last holiday with my nieces and nephews, whom I adore beyond words. I want to enjoy every second. I have the rest of my life to spend holidays alone.
Leegh Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I will have a similar problem tomorrow being around a sister that is extremely narcissistic. I plan to be in the room for a while, and then start doing other things in the kitchen, etc. to pass the time. I plan to say enough to be polite, but not say too much. I am afraid I may lose my temper, so I plan to have very little caffeinated beverages before the event, as caffeine can be a nervous system stimulant.
