13 Days to Christmas: Plan of Action - Speak ...
Sit down with your “home” family and discuss what each one of you would like to experience during the holidays.

Your anger can never create the desired outcome. It will result in the opposite - and you will feel more lost and alone.
Take a deep breath with me for a moment.
You don’t want to explode. You don’t want to be misunderstood or carry the guilt afterward. But in that heated second, it feels like the only way to be heard… to protect yourself… to feel in control.
I want to gently remind you: before that next moment of anger, pause and ask yourself, “What do I really want here?”
Because I know - it’s not to push people away. It’s not to hurt.
It’s to feel safe. To feel seen. To feel okay.
And I promise you this: there’s another way.
A way that honors you first - your peace, your dignity, your heart.
A way that brings connection, not isolation. Strength, not regret.
Learn to respond with intention, not reaction.
Build the inner tools to handle the storm without becoming it.
You are not your anger. You are far more powerful than that.
