Christmas: a period of severe family trauma!!
How i wish the simple joy of christmas could be recaptured in my family...but no...something always has to go wrong and that something almost certainly centres around...yep you've guessed it...my mother!! Cast your minds back to 2003...she goes to australia for 3weeks to 'find herself' and ends up sending emails, texts and postcards full of sorrow as opposed to xmas cheer. Last year there was the wonderful Ron - with whom she spent the day with and 'texted' us all merry christmas,and then proceeded to tell me on msn she was marrying him...in the following february...in australia! Well needless to say that all went wrong and you'd think she'd learn her lesson - but no...this year it was someone called Ed. Now Ed supposidely was a really nice guy who had swept her off her feet and captured her heart...although he's only just admitted to have been cheating on her, with 8-9 women on the internet. Needless to say their romantic break to Malta for the festive period is not going ahead!
Meaning...yet again i am expected to be nice, thoughtful and understanding to mum, who up until only a few days ago wasnt even concerned as to what i was doing for christmas, assuming i would have plans. I dont want to be nasty but i dont really want to spend the day with her either because to be frank id rather be on my own! thats mean isnt it. this christmas is just going from stranger to stranger - if she does decide to come down it means no visit to emily, though is good reason to fob PJ off early...ohhhh i dont know what to do...why does she get all the bad men?? why?? perhaps it is some form of karma for the way in which she treats people when she is with someone??
i suppose i should come to expect this by now...it is afterall christmas, the period of giving, recieving and family dramas...years of watching eastenders should prepare us all for this!!
sorry about this kind of update...just had to get a load off my chest!!
