My 7 year old daughter and I were at Christmas with my mom, and family members. I was feeling alot of anxiety, being around them. Since these people believe that I am raising my kid wrong and that I will have consequences for my life (i chose a different religion), I don't like my kids around them too much. I am to be nice all the time, even when they are guilt tripping me and trying to control me. This year, I was feeling anxiety again, and 1/2 way through, I decided that it was high time that I start doing what was best for me. Instead of sitting there, trying to ward off an anxiety attack, I got my kid and my gifts, said I wasn't feeling well and walked out.
My kid cried. Everyone followed me to the door, very hurt. They started throwing 'what is best for my daughter's Christmas' in my face and got really hurt by my actions and some got mad at me.
As soon as I was outside, I felt peace. I took care of me! But I hurt everyone! Is what I did so unaccpetable?
