0:03

0:05
um here with another
0:09
redded oh shoot I'm doing again sorry
0:12
with another redded
0:16
reaction reaction video this one is
0:22
called I just found out that my family
0:26
purposely in quotes failed to invite me
0:31
to join them for a planned and planned
0:34
to leave me alone for Christmas so I
0:36
chose to be with a different family and
0:39
celebrate it with them now this one's a
0:43
little bit longer and it's going to have
0:45
an
0:48
update here we
0:50
go with them so I an oops baby something
0:53
my family has constantly reminded me of
0:54
since I was little because it's funny my
0:56
siblings ages early 40s were all planned
0:58
by our parents I was the of a drunk and
1:00
fun night on New Year's Eve according to
1:02
my dad I've never been close to my
1:03
siblings due to the large age Gap my
1:05
parents while never mean never went out
1:07
of their way to show me the same love
1:08
that my siblings get for instance when I
1:10
was younger I was in choir I used to
1:12
love to sing but no family member ever
1:14
came to see me sing I was told we are
1:16
busy or we have other plans so I gave up
1:18
singing but I remember them going to my
1:20
other siblings dance things so I gave up
1:22
on doing anything besides working on my
1:23
computer and playing with my friends I
1:25
stuck to just getting good with
1:26
computers and in doing so I ended up in
1:28
a good job where I've been working for
1:29
for almost 10 years now started at the
1:31
bottom of it and now I've worked my way
1:33
up to being a manager for about 15
1:34
people however being in it means I have
1:36
to occasionally miss out on family
1:37
events and some holidays because where I
1:39
work it's 24/7 split into 12-hour shifts
1:42
due to this over the years I've
1:43
accidentally forgotten to be invited
1:45
because we figured you were working
1:46
without actually asking me this has been
1:47
a recurring issue with my family
1:49
forgetting to ask me to join them or
1:50
making excuses as to why I wasn't
1:52
invited however one thing I could always
1:54
rely on was being able to show up on
1:55
Christmas Eve and still feel like I
1:56
belonged even if it was later in the
1:58
evening most of my love came from my
2:00
nieces who always think of me as the
2:01
cool uncle and are always happy to see
2:02
me I happened to stop over at my folks
2:04
yesterday and while there I saw my
2:06
nieces but my nieces started asking if I
2:08
was excited for Christmas as we hung out
2:10
in a cabin this year I looked confused
2:11
and asked my mom what they were talking
2:13
about she looked embarrassed and said
2:14
everyone had made plans back in June to
2:16
celebrate Christmas in a rental cabin in
2:17
Vermont LOL I kid you not she looked at
2:20
me and said we all figured you had to
2:21
work again and couldn't get the time off
2:23
so everyone figured you wouldn't mind
2:24
missing one Christmas had they said
2:25
something I could have taken the time
2:27
off to say I was and I'm heartbroken as
2:29
an understatement like I get that I'm a
2:30
oops baby and I've never thought of much
2:32
if ever but to just be left alone for
2:34
Christmas on purpose I mean how does a
2:36
family do that to someone I just turned
2:37
around huged my nieces goodbye and left
2:40
didn't even say goodbye to my mom I
2:42
pride myself on being strong especially
2:44
how my family has always treated me but
2:45
I'm not going to lie I actually cried on
2:47
the way home never in my life have I
2:49
felt so rejected especially by people
2:50
who are supposed to love me I couldn't
2:52
even ask her when they planned on
2:53
telling me or if they planned on telling
2:54
me what would happen if I showed up
2:56
after work and no one was there I just
2:57
left I probably should have but I was
2:59
hurting to too much to Really Care at
3:00
the moment now here's my dilemma I have
3:03
a new girlfriend and by new I mean we've
3:05
only been going out and seeing each
3:06
other since just after Thanksgiving I
3:07
texted her when I got home telling her
3:09
what happened as I had to talk to
3:10
someone she kind of knows about my
3:11
family being in such a new relationship
3:13
I didn't want to unload all my baggage
3:15
on her but she knows that my family and
3:16
I don't have a standard type of
3:17
relationship anyway she has invited me
3:19
to go with her to celebrate Christmas
3:20
with her family I haven't given her an
3:22
answer yet in previous relationships I
3:24
slash we were together months before the
3:25
invite to Christmas ever came up however
3:28
this is the first relationship where
3:29
it's only been a few weeks would going
3:31
with Zoe to her families be a good idea
3:33
update six days later first thanks for
3:35
those that commented on my first post I
3:37
wasn't really sure if I should go or not
3:38
but it was the best decision I ever made
3:40
when I told my girlfriend that I would
3:41
love to go with her she was really happy
3:43
I did what others suggested and bought a
3:44
really nice bottle of wine for her
3:46
family and a few gifts for my girlfriend
3:47
I expected a bit of awkwardness when we
3:49
arrived but none happened when we
3:50
arrived and I met her family I was
3:52
treated just like I belong there I had a
3:54
great time we had some really great food
3:55
and played some games and overall it was
3:57
a great experience and much different
3:58
than any Christmas I ever had had with
4:00
my family speaking of which they SL mom
4:02
called me while I was at my girlfriend's
4:03
family the tone of her voice didn't make
4:05
me think they were happy about it LOL
4:07
when they called we were playing
4:08
Pictionary and everyone was having a
4:09
good time she asked where I was and I
4:11
told her I wished her a Merry Christmas
4:13
hung up the phone and then turned it off
4:15
I wasn't going to let her or them ruin a
4:17
good time when it was time to go
4:18
everyone thanked me for coming and said
4:20
they hoped I had a good time I don't
4:21
think I could wipe the smile off my face
4:23
even if I wanted to it was such a nice
4:24
and loving group of people I know this
4:26
relationship is still super new but the
4:28
amount of love I received from my
4:29
girlfriend friend and family really
4:30
makes me hope that this works out I've
4:32
never felt what I felt on Christmas in
4:33
my whole life as someone posted on my
4:35
first post it felt like a Hallmark movie
4:37
of sorts I know it's just all the new
4:38
feelings but if anything I've learned I
4:40
deserve more than what little my family
4:42
gives
4:45
me well I guess I was
4:48
wrong
4:50
okay this one sorry for missing with my
4:54
here it's just nervous tick this one the
4:59
guy was
5:01
like an accident baby basically he
5:05
already had two siblings that were like
5:10
well for him they were in they they were
5:14
at least I want to
5:16
say 20 years older at
5:20
least when he was
5:23
born they were in their 20s when he was
5:27
born so
5:29
okay
5:31
first H what can I say about
5:35
this
5:37
he like I said he was an he was an
5:39
accident
5:40
baby and also a lot of people do have
5:45
accident babies the only problem I have
5:48
is though the only problem I have is and
5:51
I don't want to sound political I do not
5:54
want to sound political and I do not
5:56
want to sound like sound
6:00
sound like giving my options and
6:02
opinions on it like I said it's a
6:04
nervous
6:05
stick um but
6:10
um
6:12
I would
6:15
rather be I would rather have my mom
6:18
give birth to me like like cuz it sounds
6:21
like to me his parents were gave birth
6:26
his mama gave birth to him when she was
6:28
in her 40s
6:31
so I would rather have my mama give
6:33
birth to me in her F in her 40s than
6:38
rather have her just up and say I don't
6:42
want this kid I already got two others I
6:45
already I don't want this kid I'm gonna
6:47
abort
6:49
him that's just
6:53
me but like I said not going to get
6:56
political and get into the oh you oh
6:59
it's their choice okay not going to do
7:01
that that's not the problem the problem
7:06
was while he was growing
7:09
up his sibling you know his parents like
7:12

7:56
busy schedule to come hear me sing
8:03
and this got him this got him going okay

8:38
