I hate Christmas too, sometimes, when I read stuff like this, Erin. It can be such a strictly "what's in it for me?" affair. That person purposefully leaving the dishwasher open...it was a gate and they controlled who walked through. Might've been the only thing in their pitiful life they could control.

Your aunt told you she gave your gifts away?? Can't call her insensitive because she was sensitive to the other aunt who asked if any gifts were hers. Sheesh, no wonder your gift recipient's eyes lit up at your present.

Your sister has a friend with MS who is doing well, well then, why aren't you doing well?? Surely you are faking because everyone knows MS hits everyone the same. Send her some info on Annette Funicello. Oh, never mind, don't waste your time. Everyone knows Annette was either faking or didn't have MS.

I know your feelings are hurt, Erin, but please try not to cry. Bullies love it when we cry, and you are giving them exactly what they want. Even if they don't see you cry, they know they hurt you.

Never thought I'd say this, but, Shake It Off. (http://www.directlyrics.com/taylor-s...ff-lyrics.html)
