Venting Fake Christmas happiness

[Asylum Patient]

The whole year my dad is depressed, frustrated and most of the time doesn't even talk to me anymore. But during Christmas days he all of a sudden turns into a super happy british gentleman. Or like a Santa Claus on coke. Non-stop smiling, humming christmas tunes while wearing a cringe christmas sweater... it makes me sick. Where was all that love the entire year? Should just lock myself in the room 24/7.

Today my father, uncle and their friend all gathered in the living room and had a conversation about their blood pressure medications.

How do you handle those gathering situations? You stay in your room and dont even say hello or are you expected to join them?

Relatable that's like when my cousin called me on my birthday when she never returned my calls all year. Jus5 don't bother if your not consistently in my life.

My dad doesn't even call me on Christmas or any holidays for that matter. But if he did I'd tell him to gfhs. My mom can't even remember what day it is.

My father was looking me to put on a YouTube video on TV, it was a video of the neighbourhood in the 1960s so they could reminisce.
As soon as he called me I locked myself in the bathroom. My uncle ended up putting it on as he is better at using technology as he is aged 52.
