  • I’ve been having the hardest holiday I’ve ever had.

    I’ve been out as trans for years, but I think it took last year with me coming out fully dressed for my family to finally accept it. I wasn’t invited to my family’s holidays.

    All of this, while I am now the house manager of a queer sober living house. I am the only source of a holiday to many of the people who live with me, so the pressure is on. I went to food banks all month to gather ingredients, but I still don’t have everything that I want. I’m now putting on a full holiday meal by myself, providing for people who are infamously just users. They make me feel stupid for even putting on anything. I’m gonna be cooking all the food and doing all the dishes even though I live in a house with 9 people. They all just expect me to provide with nothing they give back. I go to food pantries to provide for all of them, but they won’t come with me to double up the food. I feel so alone providing for these people. They just make me feel like shit
