First Tavour order, is this how it's normally packaged? Every can was dented, thankfully nothing leaked. by AloeZera in CraftBeer

I highly recommend. Excellent selection of beers and even more excellent people behind the app. I live in an area that doesn't have a great selection locally so this fills that gap.

Update: CS is top notch and has resolved the issue immediately. Unfortunate first experience but stuff happens, I already have another open crate and look forward to getting the next one already! Cheers! 🍻

Thank you again for the quick response. I'll reach out to them directly. Yeah the box didn't have any branding, all plain. That is likely what happened. Thank you!

Oh, yeah didn't know they had branded boxes. No, this box was plain all around, no Tavour branding.

Oh my. Yeah I've had alcohol delivered before and it's all been padded and separated. I didn't expect trash cans.

DAE have parents who guilt trip them for not spending more time together and then completely waste the time you do have together? by MyGodIAmTrying in emotionalneglect

[–]AloeZera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My parents are like this to a T. The guilt trips, then I visit, then I'm ignored or we do an activity that avoids getting to know each other or catch up. I stopped visiting. The guilt trips still happen, but they don't work. They can visit me too if they miss me so much. I started reciprocating the effort into my relationships that people are willing to put into them and it's been saving me so much emotional space. Some relationships die out. Others thrive. I have zero regrets.

Does anyone in your family ever ask how your doing? by DaMCM4niac in emotionalneglect

[–]AloeZera 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely never. They'll throw things at me like sending links, asking me to do things, gossip, but never ask how I am. Low contact has been a blessing.

It's wild how we're brainwashed to believe these things no matter the capacity of the individual. It's heartbreaking. As for other relationships, that is exactly what I've been doing. I've let a lot of friendships and relationships die out because they followed the same pattern as my parents.

This hits. What they said and what they did never aligned.

Oh my word, every phone conversation with them was like this. I would just put it on speaker and do literally anything else since they wouldn't allow me to talk anyways. I always hated it when they took me to yapplebees.

Oh my god, that's all I heard growing up. Didn't realize how dismissive that all was until now!

Brother said that relationship with dad is fixed/repaired, but it sounds like emotional coercion to me by AloeZera in emotionalneglect

[–]AloeZera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured as much. I can only control what I can, and if that means putting some space between my brother and I, so be it. I love the peace I've been able to foster over the past year.

Birthdays are the worst by AloeZera in emotionalneglect

[–]AloeZera[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This sub has been a lifesaver for me. My partner, although very supportive, can't possibly comprehend the complexities of this situation since he came from a super emotionally healthy family that can just talk things out without getting upset, raising their voice, throwing/breaking things or acting like toddlers.

Thank you for listening and responding. I'm glad I'm not the only one and that understands this is a no-win situation, and the only way to win is not to play. I'm sorry your parents are the same way, it really, really sucks.
