I ' m 26 . I ' ve been fighting depression since a young age , my parents got into a nasty divorce . Went into a pretty bad spell 3 years ago , Christmas time I decided to be a selfish asshole and not attend Christmas . It never really clicked in my head that thanksgiving and Christmas are the 2 times a year my family has the opportunity to get together . They were crushed and confused as to why I was not going to be there . Well Christmas day rolls around and I don ' t show up in the morning , have a few drinks and a coworker who I have brought to my parents has before calls me . Eh , too much to write on a phone . Basically I ' ve been a bad sonbrother . Got myself into a hole I ' m not quite sure how to get out of until I handle my chemical imbalance . Don ' t really need compliments , I just had to let some of it out . Happy holidays you guys .
