Something about the holidays brings out so much stress in me. I think it's that, as an adult, I now choose to seperate myslef from those, as a child, I was around during the holiday season.
You may be wondering why that may be. Well the reason I used to abuse hard drugs is because I was exposed to it almost daily as a child and teen. Then, fresh into adulthood, my mother, my own mother, passes me the pipe and encouraged me to take some crack hits. My father on the other hand was always abusive when he was drunk which was daily. 18 beers a day can be tiring when you're around it.
I refuse to be the middleman anymore. In the drugs, alcohol, and abuse. What a set of distorted relationships. I'm brought back to it as if it were yesterday. So, NO THANK YOU!
I am in need of some new holiday traditions. Share some of yours in the comments. And shoot me an email at borderlinewanderer@gmail.com, tell me about your holidays
Lots of love,
Mitch
