I remember when I was a kid, there were 7 of us plus my parents.
Since my mom and dad have both died, our family has become totally disfunctional. Its such a mess.
What can I do to perk myself up other than work?

I have the same problem only it's when my Grandparents passed on. My family became chaotic. The best advice I can give is spend time with friends; friends are the family you choose and I know it doesn't feel the same, but try to spend time with people that you are "Thankful" for and make your "Merry"/Happy. Ok I know that was corny, but Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.
Also I find comfort in remembering the good times and being grateful I have those memories. Although at first it made me upset the holidays would not be the same I also realized many people don't even have the happy memories that I have.

THINK OF THE GOOD TIMES YOU HAD, TRY TO GET THE FAMILY TOGETHER AND TRY TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. MAYBE U CAN DO LIKE MY IN-LAWS AND I DO. WE HAVE A CHRISTMAS PARTY, A FEW DAYS BEFORE CHRIST. B4 THE PARTY, WE ALL DRAW NAMES TO BUY GIFTS. THERE IS A MINIMUM SPENDING AMONT THOUGH; OURS IS $20. YOU CAN GO OVER BUT NOT UNDER. U ALL CAN ADJUST THE PRICE TO FIT U.
OF U CAN DO LIKE I DO WITH MY SIDE OF THE FAMILY. WE ALL STAY TOGETHER ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND WAKE UP 2GETHER ON CHRIST MORN. WE STAY @ MY GRAND MOTHERS HOUSE. BUT U ALL CAN PICK UR OWN PLACE TO STAY.
JUST TRY TO HAVE GOOD TIMES AND LOVE EACH OTHER, WITH OR WITHOUT GIFTS.
