My life has gotten infinitely easier since I laid down the law and refused drama access into my life. The people who respect me understand, and the people who don't... well, who gives a fuck? DNA connections don't entitle anyone to be an asshole.

I was talking about my sucky Christmas with other friends yesterday who had a similar issue and we all agreed that we wouldn't put up with such vile behavior from friends or else they wouldn't be friends for very long. I told them that when Easter comes and it's a nice day, meaning not raining, I am going on a photo shoot locally and anyone that was interested was welcome to come. (The people I was talking to are all artists and/or photographers.)
As long as local parks (which are free) are open on the holidays, I might just start doing that and then attending to my own dining (with friends or a peaceful dinner alone). New traditions are long overdue.
I am just fed up of every family holiday gathering consisting of me feeling like I'm on the witness stand while either mom or brother interrogate me. I'm finished and they are in for a major shock when I start to say no to their fucking gatherings.
