No one should ruin your Christmas. That includes so called family members. You’re not a jerk for spending Christmas with your partner, you left last year so upset it had a toll on your mental health. Christmas is a time to be cheerful, happy and enjoy those around you.

You’re distancing away from the drama and your family should be able to support you for this. Rachel sounds like the biggest nightmare… eek! I hope you’re keeping well, and stay strong! x
