This  is part one of my three part series, "When the Holiday's AREN'T Happy."  I don't know if you can relate, but the Holiday's weren't something I looked forward to. . . they were . . . challenging, to put it mildly.   If you are struggling to get through the Holidays, I want you to know you are not alone.  

My purpose for sharing my struggles, is so you may gain insight  into your own, or to help understand what others may be experiencing. 

Above all, I want to give you hope - a hope I never knew existed.
