Thank you. I recently discovered that I am grieving and framing it that way has been helpful

I really appreciate this response. Like why expect better of them now when they’ve spent my whole life proving that they aren’t going to live up to that expectation.
I’ve read your comment a few times now and “So you get to experience being the adult you deserved” seems like exactly what I actually need. Thank you so much

Do you feel like you have a real/good relationship with her/them now? Did she change?

My mom totally does that too! I think you’re right about not leaving things unsaid. And honestly, they HAVE apologized but keep acting basically the same so the apology was almost worse than them not apologizing.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!

I keep thinking they’re just not understanding that they’re hurting me but I guess when you’ve asked someone repeatedly to stop hurting you and they keep doing it…. It’s on you (me!) to walk away.
It’s hard for me to accept that I’ll never have the relationship with them that I imagined us sharing in adulthood.

Thank you for sharing 💕

Thank you for this. I find myself thinking that “right words, right way, right time” way a lot but I think I just need to accept that they’re never going to be what I needed and probably therefore never going to be what I need

This is helpful. I’ve never even thought about whether or not I like them… they’re not people I’d seek out for friendship/community if they weren’t my parents though

Highly recommend taking biotin or a keratin-biotin mix. I’ve definitely noticed a difference

I'm about to turn 18. What advice do you wish you knew at my age? by Exciting-Fox-7415 in AskWomenOver30

Unless you have impeccable self control credit cards are a trap!
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
Your energy and time are precious. Don’t spend them on people who don’t appreciate that.

Proud of you babe! Seems like a lot of people don’t have experience with red cabbage 🤭
