The Lesbian’s Guide To Handling The Holidays

I wish such a thing existed. I love being part of a family; home schooling combined with the cultish religion of my upbringing means my only true peers are my siblings. I love cooking for people and playing stupid games and laughing at ourselves. But holidays have become a tumultuous time for me.  Resentments and expectations are everywhere and I would rather not have any of it. Maybe family will be a thing of the past…maybe I’m building a new family with my partner and I should just focus on that.

I miss my old family. I hate the way my mom treats me.
