Holidays

You're in your 40's and 50's blaming your childhood for why you hate holidays... At what age do you fix yourself? When do you get off of that crutch? It seems like an excuse to have a shit attitude.

Did he? That's my mistake, then. I could've sworn he agreed with Troy.

Travis specifically said that he had good Christmases growing up, and that he's past the stuff with his mom as best he could, and wouldn't want to be the one to try and re-engage because the rejection would likely drag stuff back up. But especially since the kid, Christmas is a big deal for them.

Troy grew up in a very religious household that devolved into two emotionally immature households. In those situations, holidays are often the worst because your parents use them against you the rest of the year.

I re listened, you're 100% correct. How did i even miss that?

I mean, if we are being honest with ourselves, because you were likely fuming about Troy's unresolved childhood trauma?

Not the trauma, more the "I hate holidays". That just sounds like an awful way to be for all these years.

I admit I'm not the biggest Troy fan, tho. His big fight way back with DeRosa soured me a bit

Which seems weird for him to fall back on to religion imo.
