Hi! Hope you had a good Wednesday. You're right - just because you are the stronger one doesn't make it right to be treated worse! I guess in some way knowing the reasons things happen - whether they're rational or not - helps me to understand the situation and maybe come up with a solution.
If you could make 3 realistic, concrete changes in your life, what would they be? Think specifically, not in general ("I'd like to change my relationship with my Dad" is specific vs. "I want to be happy" which is too general.)
For your holiday break, I know you don't want to hang around the house! What type of freedom do you have - use of a car? Are you into volunteer work - nursing home, YMCA children's programs, etc? They always need extra help during the holidays when schools are closed and more kids need day care. Do you have any friends who you can just go to their house and hang out? You may not feel like you're close enough to anyone to "impose", but maybe give it a try and ask! Every day that you can have a planned activity will be one less day you have to stress over!
Take care!
