Thanksgiving. I always look forward to it and yet it never plays out like I have in my head. I visualize lots of hugs, laughter, playing games, and enjoying time with family. Well, every year seems to surprise me and disappoint me a little. Family drama. Enough said.
Probably every aspect of Jarrod and my family has drama. Both of our parents are divorced so we have 4 families and not just 2....like normal people. There's always one family member who has to act out and be disrespectful. There's always one who seems like they don't care. Someone always seems to be in a bad mood. Ugh! Come on people!
I'll be honest, I've had some past friendships that I've had to 'let go of' and move on from, but when it comes to family I think that everyone should work to dissolve whatever kind of conflict there is and not just let it continue on because of their own precious pride. Nobody ever wants to take responsibility for their actions. Everyone always puts the blame on someone else and how it's "their fault." I'm so sick of all of this. When a few family members have conflict it affects EVERYONE! My Thanksgivings will never be the same due to other people's pettiness. My daughter will never know what it feels like to spend Thanksgiving with all of her family at one time and it breaks my heart. Growing up everything seemed so wonderful. My sister, brother, and I always looked forward to the holidays and seeing all of our family. Everyone used to hug each other and just sincerely love spending time with one another. What's happened to that? Why are things so different? How can people change so drastically?
If this blog hurts anyones feelings then I'm sorry but this is how I feel and I think everyone should try and make amends for THEIR actions. There's not just one person at fault. Let's move on and try to get back to how we were as a family before.
