I don't know who, if anyone, remembers my whiny posts in the past, or that I reconnected with her in October.
Well, she had me over for Christmas dinner yesterday and it was really nice. It was just her boyfriend / man-friend and me for dinner, one sister came over for dessert, as did my aunt, cousin, and husband. Except for a few minutes where sibling told me to call my dad (whole other thing) and I had a mini-meltdown, it was really nice.
Just wanted to say that sometimes taking a break from crazy parents and reconnecting can go well and be just what you needed. I am sorry that we needed the break at all, at least in my opinion, and that it was as long as it was; but things are so much better now. I feel like she really is making an effort and things are like I could reasonably have wanted.
Happy holidays!
