Well I know that are situations are different, but I feel that way every year. I too had a horrible childhood. Holidays were the worst. I left my family and now have an a mazing family and am finially loved, but I can't get my feelings out of my head... So I am afraid I can't help but sometimes knowing you are not the only one feeling that way helps.... Hang in there.

Love,
Courtney
