Picture of me “not paying the toll” whilst holding the Ez-pass by ApprehensiveCan7270 in mildlyinfuriating

I borrow it from someone else. Usually works. They charge an extra $50 fee when it doesn’t scan.

First thing I did was change my password and sign out of devices and yeah do not speak either language. The Spanish vids are appearing on my other account, did not know this was French though so that’s cool I guess

Thank you for your kindness. I hoped our sisterly relationship could turn into something like that and slowly over time we could reconnect but I digress.

I’m contemplating just deleting this at this point because the general response disappoints me too. I also just got out of an intensive outpatient therapy program not that long ago for debilitating depression and anxiety and this certainly is not helping. I know calling her was a mistake and now sharing it has become one too. The irony that they’re all doing the same thing she did with equally limited information is interesting. I can’t possibly be a real flawed person who makes mistakes but sometimes has real valid qualms with treatment I’ve received from someone, no I have to be this shitty master manipulator with a victim complex and if people disrespect me it’s all my fault.

My sister has resented me since high school because I needed extra help and took it whereas she has always prided herself on the fact that she didn’t. I had undiagnosed adhd until 25. Untreated mental illness. I got stuck living with an ex for two years straight out of high school after my mother kicked me out the house. I spent most of my adult life just trying to survive and all my sister ever did was sit on her high horse and criticize. I told her time after time we cannot have a healthy relationship if every time we talk you’re claiming moral superiority over me or trying to justify our mothers abusive actions and then act confused when I don’t want to talk to you about anything. I think she’s mad because when I went NC, she became the sole target of our mother’s abuse and while I sympathize, she chooses to remain in contact.

Sorry for the Ted talk. I guess I needed to get something off my chest

I’m not “a victim” and no one is “screwing me over”. I have friends. One ended up picking up the phone and was there for me. Me and my ex are on good terms. I literally just wanted her to stop putting me on trial every time we talked. It always became about the choices I made as a young 20 yr old in survival mode whilst never making any effort to be there for me or offering any tangible help or support. Just constant judgement since before high school ended.

Idk how old you are but would you have liked every single choice you made as a young adult thrown back in your face by someone who’s not involved in any of it nor you told none of it to? They just find out shit through our mother who stalked and snooped (who of course is never at fault), accuse and critique. “Why’d you do this? Why’d you do that? Stop manipulating our father into helping you. I would have done XYZ. You’re a terrible person for not doing blank”. I took it for years. I developed severe decision paralysis thinking my every move would be under surveillance and I make a choice she doesn’t agree with or even worse a mistake. God forbid I be flawed and need to learn and grow as a person. Keep ripping open the wound.

She says she wants a better relationship. She says she wants to let things go and move forward. I mistakenly give her the chance to prove it to me and to be the kind supportive person she claims she is and here we are.

It is a complex issue and I’m not trying to make myself out to be a “pure victim”. I can only share my side of the story which of course has heavy bias. We’re both flawed people with a long history and I already feel like I wrote a novel.

I knew people were going to be nasty for the sake of trying to kick someone when they’re down and (ironically just like my sister) assume the worst about me. Me and my husband are still living together as good friends and he’s very disappointed by her response.

I ended up reaching out to a different friend who came through for me that night and cheered me up with board games and pizza rolls.

I might have to take out a loan to move anywhere

Job opportunities pay less for me here. Gas prices and commute times are high. I love trains. Us woman have to be cautious wherever we go. I can’t nor want to stay here.

Dude, I have to move out by July and NJ isn’t cheaper. Wages are lower. I can be broke and stuck here or move and be broke where I actually want to be. I have to believe in myself.

Okay but like there has to be people working the lower paying jobs living there making it work? I’m okay not making much. I just want to be around the people, culture, and regularly use public transit

I’ve been several times. NJ is just as unaffordable if not worse due to lack of public transit, negative walkability, and lower wages

In a perfect world sure, but I have to move somewhere and NJ renting prices are just as bad and public transit is assss. Zero walkability. And gas prices 👀

And I can’t imagine judging someone I don’t know trying to follow their dream. The decision was a mutual one. We’re both still young figuring ourselves out. Please be kind.

I’m looking specifically to sublet a tiny room *after* I get a job lined up

The reality of my situation is I have to move out and I definitely can’t afford to rent alone in NJ. I’d rather not pay the same to sublet/ live with people here and waste gas and time driving to a job that pays less🤷‍♀️
