My mother and I have a lot of empathy for each other because we are very similar people. I kinda predicted that this was gonna happen as family Christmases are never too great really. I'm just glad I wasn't there and I was given a get-out clause. It did cause a few problems me not being there but I'll sort out those in the New Year.

It'd be cool to visit you hun, I'll see when I can come over. Like most things in life, it's dependent on getting time off work. I'm confident I'll be able to see you soon though *hugs*
