Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well.

My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories and if you do love

a Reddit story, why not consider?

Then I'll like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too.

Let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love guys.

Now our first story comes from the Am I the Arsoul subreddit,

and it's from Snorgasm who says, am I the asshole for ignoring my family after they excluded

me from Christmas again. For the context, I-29 female have not been on great terms with my family

for a long time. My mom has spent most of my life

doing everything she can to tear me down. And as of now, I haven't spoken to her in almost three years.

I have an okay relationship with my brother, 32 male, and I love my dad even though he enables my mom

never stands up for me because he doesn't like to rock the boat.

I spent a few months ago I lived pretty close to my parents but I recently moved across the country

and I didn't have any friends or family anywhere near my new home. I love holidays and celebrations

but no one else in my family does. When I was younger, they used to make fun of me or get frustrated

when I would try to be festive around Christmas and eventually I stopped trying. For the past decade,

my family hasn't done anything for any holiday and I've become okay with that. However, my brother,

who lives in a different state, got divorced a couple of years ago, and

his ex took their house, so my parents bought a duplex in his town, so he could live on one

side with my four-year-old niece, and they could live part-time on the other.

They still have their house in my hometown, but they live in most of the year.
