Anyone else having pre-holiday angst over who you will see or not see and who will say what and to whom? Oy! Family!
Like it or not, family of origin is a fact. The good news is that you can choose if and how you continue to relate to them.
People come into and leave our lives. Nothing is forever even though it can feel like forever. All relationships end. People leave, people die.
But, you can choose the terms of how relationships end. Remember, that refers to YOU. You have no control over the words or actions of others. You have total control over how you react, your choices, words and actions.
The good news is that we get to construct our true family, our families of choice.
