It’s your holiday, too.
Finally feel at home with family and with yourself this holiday.
Has it started yet — the feelings?
You know them well.
The obligation to go along with the holiday chaos to keep the peace
“Everyone’s made so many sacrifices to be together—don’t start being selfish now.”
The guilt that you’re ‘letting the family down’ if you say no
“You’re really not coming this year? Mom’s gonna freak out. What about the kids? What will everyone think?”
That dread of knowing conflict is inevitable, but it’s your job to manage it
“Just don’t bring it up this year, please. Can’t you just let things go for once? Can’t you just forgive them?”
The entitlement everyone feels to your children
“The kids need to see their grandparents. Don’t take that away from us. Everyone already bought them gifts.”
That subtle reminder that you’re responsible for everyone’s holiday
“We just want a nice holiday where everyone gets along. Can’t you please just make this work for the family?”
It’s your holiday, too.
Things should be different this year.
And if that just sent chills down your spine, then this support workshop is for you.
