I am feeling so low this year. My boyfriend and I broke up, and I am not really seeing anyone now. My mother is addicted to pain pills, and is totally losing her mind. She called me up and accused me of breaking into her house to steal five pills and fifteen dollars! I live an hour and a half away! What in the hell is she talking about? Well, she doesn't believe me, and now she refuses to speak to me. She has done weird stuff before, but this takes it. I am so hurt by her accusations, and she is really the only family I have, because my dad remarried this chick almost my age, and they are always on vacation. Everytime I hear a holiday commercial I get pissed and sad. What should I do about this?

Sorry to hear that. I hope you have a close friend that you can spend the holiday with. Don't worry, things will get better. Who do you live with? Spend the holiday with them. Maybe space from your mom would be good if she is having those problems. Hang in there!!!

I am really sorry to hear about you mom's accusations. You shouldn't have to go through that. I really hope that she comes to her senses before Christmas. If she won't talk to you how about sending her an early Christmas card... Tell her that you love her and want to spend Christmas with her. Remind her that she's all you have and you should be together during this time. If all else fails send her pills (if you can get them) and the $15 (a small price to pay to spend Christmas with your mother). Tell her that you didn't do it... and it hurts you that she would accuse you... but if giving her these things will make her feel better and allow Christmas to continue... then that is what you're willing to do.
If none of this works and your mother is just determined to me miserable and pull you down with her then I say spend Christmas truly enjoying the important things. Maybe you could go to a homeless shelter or an orphanage. Volunteering is always the perfect way to not only lift your spirits as well as the spirits of the people you are helping... but it really makes you remember what's important during the holiday season... Helping others. Remember, To heal another's Heartache is to forget one's own.
I hope this helps a little and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.

I have been single for a while during the holidays and every time I see a holiday commercial I do not get upset. This is the way I think. Many people do not have families that are happy during the holidays like they show on television. Television commercials are not real so you should not be feeling jealous of the other families on TV. During the holidays, you should be thankful for your health, friends, and family. Good luck.

sorry to hear about your situation. I had the same problem in 2003 and just slept through christmas and went back to work as if it never happened. Avoid your mother. Don't take her calls. Just let christmas pass without notice, it's on a tuesday so it should be pretty easy. Reality is, christmas isn't like the commercials for millions of people, welcome to reality. Ain't life grand?!

Find a friend who is going to be alone on Christmas and plan a fun day together...rent some funny movies, make some sinfully rich brownies and stock up on soft drinks.

I'm sorry to hear that. I would say to spend the holiday with friends or do volunteer work with a non-profit.
