A Healthy Distance
As we’ve seen from many of these tweets, Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for family. This is ironic for people who don’t have a great relationship with their family. Some people, like this Twitter user, are actually thankful to not spend time with their family members at all!
Thanksgiving is awkward for this person because they have to pretend to be thankful for the time they’re forced to spend with relatives they don’t like. It can be hard to pretend when you feel the exact opposite! If the holidays are always strained and stressful, remember to take care of yourself. Don’t feel guilty for establishing boundaries.
