I hate father's day, my father is abusive, and I just can't be all holly, jolly merry for others that have "good fathers". I'm very religious/spiritual, so every year I would be at church and try to swallow my contention and be "happy" for other people.
I'm not doing it this year, f*ck it.
I give my transference dad a father's day card every year, because I think that's good, but I am not putting myself in the same position of going to church, getting triggered, swallowing it, crying, hiding in children's church, to still have the same shitty experience. (Skipping church is not normal for me lol, so it's definitely weird, but any church service I go to would talk about fathers so yeah).
So that said, I'm sure some of you are in the same boat, maybe it's father's day like me, or mother's day, Christmas, whatever. How are you celebrating or avoiding the celebration? I'm thinking about going to the beach or something. Makes me want to build a band of misfits like myself and have an anti-celebration.
