My mom always works on Christmas. She's my only parent. We live in a large house so the emptiness and loneliness is exponentiated. All my friends are with their families so I can't bother them. Same with other relatives who I'm close with. The town is like a ghost town so I don't want to go there. I'm caught up with my work so I don't have anything to do. It's so depressing that I don't have a normal large family with siblings and both parents and I always wonder why I deserve this. I don't think I've ever had a normal Christmas or a Thanksgiving or any holiday for that matter. She always chooses to work on holidays. What do I do?
>>34086221Have you tried dressing as your biological sex?
>>34086221What's her job?Visit her at work
>>34086243She's a nurseI have too many memories of me just sitting on a bench while she finishes her shift to want to do that.
>>34086221>other relatives who I'm close withWouldn't their families...also be your relatives? You're caught up in feeling shitty and you wouldn't if you just asked your cousin of you could hang because you're alone on Christmas.
>>34086266My cousins are literally 12 and 9
>>34086270Ffs it was an exampleAnd your response is proof you just want to be sad and get attention from anons. If you really wanted to hang out with a relative you'd be there.
>>34086278I'd be intruding on their family stuff.Would you show up to your uncles house on Christmas unannounced? Besides if it *wasn't* a problem showing up like that then wouldn't they feel the same way about me like you do? That I'm sad and attention seeking?
>>34086288>unannouncedSo you fucking ask. Shut the fuck up and be sad or DO something about it.
>>34086289You ignored the other part of my reply lol
>>34086296Do it as her son though.
>>34086221What does your mom do
other anon is right, just ask a friend if you can hang, if they reject you, they're not really your friend
>>34086547She works at a hospital>>34086560They are literally with their family. I don't know how it is outside of where I'm from but here literally everyone spends the whole day with their family on Christmas
>>34086756yes I meant join their family gathering
>>34086262Nurses have tough jobs. It’s unjustified to be critical of her decision over your own loneliness. Act like an adult and stop crying over it.
>>34086986This but show up using your birth name and not doing a falsetto voice
>>34086221You and mom should have decided a while ago that the rest of the world was crazy and Christmas is actually December 27 (or whatever day she's off) and that is when you two are going to celebrate it. Then you can treat the 25th as just another day and enjoy your own private Christmas together.
