Hello!

We’ve had dramas on both sides of the family lately (not involving us) and it just doesn’t feel like Christmas.
On my side, my cousin’s wife has practically put my aunty and uncle without a home and on my hubby’s side, his sister had found out her hubby had been cheating on her.
It’s going to be so awkward this year, I really feel like not turning up!

  • How can your cousins wife take someone’s home? If she kicked them out of hers, does she not have that right?

    Perhaps not taking sides is the besy


  • I would suggest show up and be supportive of your family members. Clearly the dramas are not their fault but those of the spouses they married. At this time especially they need to know they have the support of family.


  • Definitely keep to yourself and don’t get involved it there problems


  • Distance yourself from the drama is best and we recently went through it last year so my family and I took off to New Zealand for christmas and New year best time ever with no dramas.Sometimes, you have to do things for your family and zone out from dramatic families????


  • When we used to have the whole family and their miseries around for Christmas, I always made sure I had lots to do in the kitchen and could walk off quickly to attend to something when any unpleasantness arose. Don’t have those sort of get togethers anymore thank heavens.


  • How did it end up going? X


  • i would like to how did you go thorough the festive season with your family


  • Best way to be, dump them. You end up getting to a stage where it’s affecting your mental and physical health.


  • Stay natural, go enjoy it and try and put yourself in their shoes. It’s awkward all round.


  • I hope your family managed to find some peace so your Christmas went well xx


  • This sounds like an awful situation to be in – and especially at christmas time :( Just keep not getting involved or it will get worse for you. I really hope that you were able to enjoy your christmas x


  • Try to stay neutral if you can. Go for a walk if it gets too much.


  • Think of the ones that are actually going through these dramas and support them with love and joy at Christmas. Try to make it nice for them.


  • Luckily there is no drama on my side. But on my husband’s side there is. I’m staying out of it. Don’t like drama.


  • Yes my sister and her family dont even bother to come to see me at Christmas it has been like 4 years now since I have seen her they all stopped coming since the passing of our parents
