Re: Thanksgiving blues.

[(Anonymous)]

Not the same boat, but I'm a weird auntie afterthought at the table; I have two elderly blood relatives left; one each of my mom and dad's brothers, and I'm ace and single. So I tag along to my aunt's (dad's brother's wife's) family dinner.

One of her brothers is still alive and has two boys (both in college now but were born when I was in my early 20s) with his wife, and her sister. Plus the cousin whose dad died last year and has been having a rough time in general, and is a little older than me, but I met him briefly once as a preteen and then didn't see him again until he was in college.

My mom's brother and his husband are nice, but his husband's family are conservative and cruel and I lasted one dinner with them before going "fuck this."

It's just weird thinking that in another decade or two tops, I might just make myself a pan of stuffing and stay home because I'm a lifelong loner and my blood relatives will all be dead but me, and even now I see my not-really-cousins, not-really-nephews maybe twice a year and give them gift cards and fudge and that's it.

I get really lonely around the holidays, but growing up I was literally the only kid surrounded by my grandma's siblings and their kids and spouses at holidays; none of my dad's cousins and neither of his brothers had kids, my mom's brothers didn't have kids, so every year there were fewer people, and eventually/soonish it'll just be me.
