This is my tea tonight. Leftovers from yesterday. I didn't hear from family at all which has really hurt me, but I am learning I can't change them.

Can I just say, following the conversation at this virtual feast is doing my head in just as much as a real-life social gathering would Along with my mental health issues, I have Asperger's syndrome and I super struggle to follow a conversation in social gatherings where there are lots of people talking. I love how @CherryBomb could respond to multiple people about different topics, in one post. That level of multi-tasking is definitely way beyond me

@Queenie Nope, you definitely can't change family. I ditched my family twelve years ago. Best thing I ever did. I would love to have a loving family, but when that isn't possible, I have found that no family is much better than toxic family.
What leftovers are you having for dinner? Because I live alone, when I do cook I tend to then eat the same thing for several days in a row.

I used to totally stress out when I couldnt follow all the bits of chat flying between people but am learning to let go.
I really like that you ask to see your reports. i will start doing that.
Hi @Queenie I miss lots of people, but I think I have to let that go and give myself the right to having a life on the basis of what IS now.

@Phoenix_Rising I am having leftover birthday cake. Mine was chocolate mud cake. I didn't feel like much else (so much for healthy eating).
I don't know why I cling to the hope I can have a normal nurturing relationship with family, when in reality it is anything but. My own father told me he wished I was never born (he said that when I was admitted to a psych ward and I've never forgotten it). He meant it to hurt too the $%#&!
