I don't want to go home and see my toxic family for Christmas, how can I get out of it?

[Anonymous]

Every time I talk to my parents, they make me feel bad about something or Belittle me. I'm constantly anxious around them or when I have to talk to them because they often flip conversations on me. Last time we talked they basically said I should stop visiting them if I feel like visiting them is such a burden (They want me to visit them for like 5 days at a time). But expect to see me over Christmas. It's causing me so much anxiety I don't want to see them anymore what should I do

What @bellegirl21said! The flu is terrible! ;)
Or just tell your family the truth. If they want to play little mind games (aka poor us, if you hate us so much then just don't come) then ya know what, don't go.

Catch the horrible flu going around. You'll be bedridden for days!

Tell them you're not going, and tell them why. Learn to stand up for yourself.
