I mean like asking yourself "Why am I decorating the house (indoors) if noone but us is seeing the decorations? I mean it is more understandable when there are small children in the house as for them most of people decorate the house but under this pandemic and noone visiting your hosue. SOme people may ask. No reason for me to decorate and spend time and money to buy things.

Im in that same situation, in my h ouse there is my elder mom, my brother and myself. Noone is visiting us for this pandemic, no family no friends noone. Also my brother is kind of a Grinch so for him he does not care if the house is decorated or not anyway, he does not even help to set up Christmas decorations anyway cause for him is like any other day.

I was 17 at the time. My then HS boyfriend's foster mother (he became an orphan as a toddler) wronged me badly. She involved other people into this and tainted my reputation. Our relationship ended because of her. I lost a couple friends because of her.

Many years later (now that I'm married and with two kids), this year I received an apology from her. From the first time ever, there was no excuses, nothing to gain from (in the past she used to turn nice for something in return) and it was short. This is the message:
''(My name) I'm so sorry for everything. No one ever deserves getting treated like that. You weren't the problem. It was me. I don't blame you if you hate me. Once again, I'm sorry for hurting you''.

If it took you that long to know and understand what you did was wrong is it even worth responding to it? I'm not even on speaking terms with that past boyfriend. Is it already too late? I guess I can reply to her. Would you reply to a late apology?
