I feel for you but can offer no advice unfortunately. Parents can be aresoles. In the last 3 years I've got divorced, suffered quite bad depression and anxiety and I'm currently in the process of trying to save my business after one of the directors has surprised us with an inpending bankruptcy that has caused our seed investors to pull out. I've not been the life and soul this year but have tried to be nice and decent to my parents. Their response......lots of targeted jibes about cheering up and 'get a job' etc.

You can only take so much before it begins to affect your love for them.

It's all very well saying that they're your parents so you have to go...

...but if they're actively being aholes to the point of negatively affecting your life?

fk em

Try and make next year a year you consciously spend more time with people that make you happy and less time with people that don't.

Who they happen to be or not be is known by you already.

Good luck.

Took me slightly less time to realise and wasn't easy but after a couple of years it's not ideal, but, fk em.

I'm on my own this year. Wife and daughter have gone to Centreparcs for a week as I was supposed to be working nights from tonight but I changed jobs and am currently doing days. My mum who would have been on her own for the very first time this year is staying at her brothers for a few days.

Yup, sometimes you have to put your own life first. If someone makes life this difficult they can fk off.

OP, fk everybody, your Mum included.

I'm in a similar position although mine has been largely self inflicted. Regardless I know I'm a being with value to add to society.

Screw everyone else, at least when I look in a mirror I KNOW who looks back and that person is a decent and valued member of society.

Don't under value yourself for anyone. Especially your Mum,

Happy new year all

Just get pissed and try to find something worth watching on TV.

Fancied installing Ubunto on a spare PC and updating my website.

It's alright, I have a bottle of sparkling water here, though.

I try to avoid NYE whenever possible. Every time I have been out it has been st, and since I've stopped drinking the thought of it has been worse and worse. So I stayed in this year, ordered some car parts, and I'm sat here with a cup of tea waiting for Big Ben to bong.

Must be pretty easy for the majority of the year.

I am for the first time I can remember. I split up with my girlfriend at the start of the month. Spent Christmas at my parents house (which was actually really nice) but I was due to be out with her and her/our friends tonight.

From the photos on Facebook it looks like a good night! My friends all have plans and I'm not one to impose.

New year has always felt like an occasion, but now it feels like any normal Thursday. Looking forward to a new year though, psychological fresh start.

For the last 2 years I spent NYE with my dog whilst everyone else was at my mums house including my GF and daughter. It's not that I'm anti social but my if my dog is not invited then I'm not going, he's better company!

This year we are staying home and I'm the only one still up.

NYE is a lot of crap, people seem to think they should be out parting like pitbull in a bunch of hot girls drinking champagne. Most of them are in wrecked at a crap nightclub fighting with their pals waiting to see how much the uber surge price goes to!

[DoubleD]

People only put the best bits in Facebook. For all you know they might have all looked miserable until the camera was pointed at them!

[Hoofy]

Hot girls, you say?

[Axionknight]

More fool you I say, for taking that pish year on year, family she many be, but she has no given right to make you feel down/rubbish/worthless time and time again.

fk that, too much rubbish food to eat, poor quality beer to swill and mind numbing TV to watch.

Happy NYE all

I'm happily sitting here with a glass of wine, watching Only Fools and Horses.

It's a nice evening. Someone I matched with on Tinder and only spoke to a little has sent me an interesting, drunk message. I'll follow it up in the morning.
