we have a not so old fridge that sounds like an old farting monk…so yeah…that sucks.

I absolutely hate the holidays that people feel obligated to be with family. I had a good upbringing but found out later in life how self centered and narcissistic my family was. I have lived my own life apart from them, mostly because growing up it was either get a sport scholarship to college or the military and I chose the latter, which freed me in a lot more ways than I realized at the time.

I hope you can get some distance and find the family you deserve.
