In Life,Its my first time to celebrate Christmas Alone,A month ago i run from my house bcoz i cant understand my mom anymore,she always shout on me eventhough its early in the morning.Theres a thing that old mistakes that she keeps telling me over and over again if she cant get what she want from me,Now that i moved on my own theres alot of things i've learn,im more matured and handle things out.All i really want is to learn into my own mistakes and not from somebody else.I love my family of course my mom eventhough she slap me,she beat me she shout on me,I really still love her,i know that no matter what i hate her she still my MOM...And now on this Christmas Season...I feel alone..its been 3 months ago since i run from my parents home..and try to stand to my own feet..But i know God is there for me..I thank God That He never leave me eventhough there are times i am so down and almost give up.Thank you!

You decide for your life and Parents are only there to guide us on the right path but there's no harm on giving your Mom a Visit this Christmas, give your gifts and exchange stories, in the end she's still part of your life no matter what. You have to be thankfull you still have your Mom, some people out there never have the chance to know their Mommy the moment they were born so dont take it for granted.

Oh no. Running away from home aint right girl. Just try to understand your mom besides she's your mother. I think your mom is just like my mom. There's just some difference ofcourse. And yeah, that's the difference, slapp'n and beat'n, yeah yours is harsh. Well, that's good that you keep on call'n and never forget God. You're such a brave girl and I know, eventhough you're gonna celebrate Christmas alone, you should be happy the fact that He didn't let something bad happen to you. Why not invite your friends? I know for sure you've got one or more right?...Just be happy. There's a rainbow always after the rain. Happy Christmas.

merry christmas to you rhealyn! don't sulk over being alone coz not staying with your family doesn't have to be lonely. mingle, spend time with friends. find groups with the same interest as you (volunteers, music groups, etc), that way you'd be busy and productive. as to your Mom, continue to pray, miracles happen, just keep the faith. God bless :)

Oh honey, you will never be alone with God in your life. He is holding you, and will help you get though this difficult time. A life, is like a book. It has many chapters. Some are happy and good, others sad and no so good. So dear, stay focused. Go to church and study the word. All the answers are in the holy bible. God be with you, blessings.

Do you have other family? Grandparents? Friend's families? There must be people you can get together with. If not, how about volunteering at a local shelter? I am willing to bet it would be the best Christmas you ever had! My best Christmas ever was when I took presents to a needy family on Christmas morning. They were all sitting around looking sad and miserable and when I came in they were so excited and it was the happiest Christmas I have ever known. I wish I were in a position to do that again, but I am poor now. Maybe someday. Meanwhile, you could experience that joy just by helping out at a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter. Merry Christmas.

Yes, I am too alone here in Canada. I don't have my family here. I just quit university and I got barely any friends here. I don't care much about Christmas, I am not Christian. But yes, I do feel lonely. I spend my vacations alone. With the lack of money and all that. I used to chat a lot on the internet. MyLot is like chat too. I should have been for hours here. Besides, I would not get abused as I did on chat.

Its a part of life , but you keep your attention on your aim ,you and your mom will be united again . The real goodness of that unity will be if you are successful. I also experienced a christmas alone. But I watched people from my window and fell happy with their happiness.

Hey love,no matter what you think your mom did to you i still believe she has the best for you in mind.I think you should go visit your family.

Have you thought about sending your parents a letter explaining that you still love them but don't feel you can be around them? It migt help pave the way for a calmer Christmas in a year or so's time when you feel you want to re-explore spending time with them.

I know it's sad for you, but ,trust me, your mom is more sad than you. However we all will be with your spirit, and you can close your eyes and feel every soul is there with yours.
I wish you a Merry Christmasand remember you never will be alone!

I would try asking your family if you could spend Christmas with them. It would be soo sad not to spend Christmas with them. Also, go to church. It will make your Christmas day ALOT better. I mean it. :D
God bless,
Alex.

i feel you, believe me. three years ago i left home, too. it's not because of my mom, though. it's because of my dad. we might have the same sad story. dad was too critical of me. he focuses on my flaws and mistakes which were just few compared to my achievements. but he never hurt me physical. just emotional stabs. i dunno but i rather take physical pain because they heal. emotional pain remains. well, of course i say this because i have no clue about the effects of physical abuse. hehe i left home not because i hate him. i just didn't want to reach the point that i'd start losing my respect for him. i looked up to him when i was a kid but inch by inch i realised how wrong he was of treating me that way. but the turning point was really when i couldn't take how he was treating my mom. i do love him still, in spite of everything. he's still my dad after all. you will get by, believe me. of course you miss your family. but if you think your running away from home will result to a better you then stand for it. be a better person and then go back to your family and show them your worth. but if you think it's not gonna be of any help to you then, swallow your pride and return to your home. *smile*

Well... being alone on christmas is fun for those who wants to make a party, but not fun for those who want to be near their loved ones...
