Oh, I can imagine that's not easy to forgive 😅 Extra kudos to the show then. It had been a while since a show pulled me in completely. Great stuff.

Yes, fully agree. Amazing show.

Honestly, I don't think that's possible anymore. I just hope my wife can find a way to be okay with the situation as it is. I'll be A okay on my own at home, under a blanket on the sofa with Sepp and the cats. ❤️

Yes, that's basically what I did last year. Making myself ill from anxiety beforehand. I want to prevent that this time. It's indeed my wife's family, but having her explain it properly is quite an issue. She struggles a lot with that, so I don't want to force her.

Thank you and sending hugs. I just want to stay at home with my pets, who actually make me feel safe and happy. I can't trust the fam to be a safe place for me. They've proven they're not on multiple occasions. I need repeated proof of safety before I'll ever step back in. But what to tell them 😅

Yeah, no. I am not going to do that. I understand my story and issues makes them uncomfortable. But if they can't or won't put that aside to support me in the slightest, why the hell should I go and destroy myself in discomfort for a holiday I don't want to celebrate anyway? Like, no. Just no. 4/4

And after diagnosis still absolutely nothing. I don't see any effort from anyone to actually try and support me on this difficult journey. And I'm supposed to act all "happy family" at Christmas? A holiday like that is intense enough as it is for me. Both from AuDHD and CPTSD viewpoint. 3/4

For years I've been trying to share video's and articles to explain how and why I struggle with things. Even before my AuDHD diagnosis. I've sent entire YouTube playlists. Nobody has ever come back to me about a single thing. 2 years ago I even had a huge meltdown with some of them about that. 2/4

Mind you, she's small but fierce. The smallest in the house and yet the only pet in this household that requires 4 human hands to get the job done. Even traumatised Sepp is easier. 😅

I feel you 😂 I took pictures with the singer of one of my fav bands last week that will never ever be posted 😂 I don't mind freaking out, but why can't we ever do it while looking good?! 😭

There's no possible way to overreact to that happening! OMG.
