For those of you who don't know, I'm one of the lone dems in family full of right wingers. Although they are my family, and I love them dearly, I was absolutely dreading the holidays. Fortunately our cherished matriarch had implemented a 'no politics' rule for Thanksgiving - which went over smoothly. Christmas just passed (without incident) and I'm excited to report that everyone was so busy with gifts and food and love that it too passed with no major drama.
I know I'm one of the lucky ones. There are many of you who walked away from one or both of these holidays with more animosity, less connection, more hostility and less compassion than I did. For those of you in that category please know that you aren't alone. Although I came out relatively unscathed, my heart hurts for those of you who didn't. Stay strong. Time will change things. For the better or worse? That is yet to be seen. |
