On days like today I feel conflicting feelings about cutting my family off. I have no one to get ready for and no family to visit on a holiday. My daughter is playing Stardew valley. I know we could just go out to public events but sometimes that hurts more to see everyone there with family. Plus I’m on a new medication that increases my sun sensitivity. What my family has done over the years is bad enough to where I think we’d be worse off in the long run if I “sucked it up” just to have family for holidays. But it feels embarrassing when I’m with online friends who say they’re preparing a meal for a family get together and I’m just in the house. I feel like I’m ruining my daughter’s childhood and idk. Maybe it’s just not meant to be.
