I just got physically threatened on Christmas Eve by my brother. It’s one thing for my parents to take his side, but it’s a whole nother thing to justify threats. I’m debating on whether I should do this next year. Next year I will probably be living independently of my parents. I’ll still be dependent on them, but I probably won’t be living in the same house as them come next year. I’m not sure I wish to listen to threats like that a second time on Christmas. I know I deserve better than that. When you’re treated horribly by your family, I’m a believer in seeking out a new family. I’m not sure I want to put up with this next year.
Maybe what I can do is go up independently at some time after my brother has come back. The main thing is I at least want to see my grandmother. I wouldn’t say I’m mad, I just don’t want to spend Christmas this way. I can’t just accept this.
