Good grief. You people have no compassion. Op is feeling a lot of pain. Stop commenting on this thread if you have nothing kind to offer.[/quote]

No. She's literally complaining about the existence of families, as if people who have children are actively trying to hurt her. This is not a healthy or reasonable perspective. She needs to go to therapy to learn the skills to put things into perspective and deal with her emotions as an adult.[/quote]

No, she isn’t. She’s complaining about the holiday cards that, rather than focusing on offering good wishes to the recipient, focus on telling the recipient how perfect their family is.[/quote]

I mean, two things can be true at the same time. People send out holiday photo cards as a way of saying Hello, happy holidays, and do not intend to inflict pain to others. For OP, receiving those cards is understandably difficult.

We send holiday cards with family photos (and yes, I have one child, and then had a miscarriage and won't have more children and there were times that the cards were painful to see), but don't intend for it to be a montage bragging about our "perfect" family.[/quote]
