Whether it’s a fresh loss or one you’ve had the chance to grow into from childhood – it’s important to know you’re not alone, especially during the holidays, when emotional tolls can feel even heavier.
Whether it’s a fresh loss or one you’ve had the chance to grow into from childhood –– it’s important to know you’re not alone, especially during the holidays, when emotional tolls can feel even heavier.
‘With the holiday season – which also includes my birthday – so close, I feel stressed out,’ Veronica* tells me. She’s cut ties with her father and has limited contact with her mum. Veronica thinks there’s a chance her dad might not have even realised that she’s out of his life ‘due to his emotional immaturity’.
She adds: ‘He was never a Christmassy person, so I doubt he has even put up the decorations in the house we once all shared.’ ‘After years of a tumultuous relationship, his temper finally became too much for me to bear. We were expected to take his angry outbursts because “that’s just what he’s like”.
Veronica says seeing ‘only wholesome families’ over the festive period can sometimes upset her, but finds comfort with those in her circle of friends who are also dealing with their own estrangements.This year, she’s planning on spending Christmas with her boyfriend of two years, and the pair will join his family for Christmas dinner.
