[quote=Anonymous][quote]I know I'm an adult, and I also know that I was given the wrong coping mechanisms as a child (I was just supposed to suck it up and take it instead of complaining). I'm trying to rebuild them in a healthy way. What is that healthy way? Frankly, the idea of a few hours with my sister still gives me hives. Sister lives about 3 hours away. I think the right answer is to put together an alternative, fun, thanksgiving. Start focusing on my own family instead of the generation up. Right, OP, and you still haven't evolved very much. All you're still doing is complaining. Aren't you 45? Isn't it time to suck it up and learn new coping skills? I honestly just feel sorry for your mom.[/quote] That's exactly what I said I'm doing - looking to rebuild healthy coping skills. Can you tell me what the new coping skills should be? You seem to be complaining about me and you seem angry. These do not seem like positive coping skills. Maybe you are trying to point out that I need to let things like your stupid comment go. Thank you for that. [/quote]
