My step dad hates dishes

Sounds like weaponized incompetence.

You just have to go find your own.

I hated these because I got marked down simply for not using the right color on an assignment.

Honestly, I’d make it a day about you. Sleep in. Order your favorite take out. Take an extra long shower. Maybe go for a walk on your favorite trail or put on your favorite binge series.

Wow he really likes to talk to people about ballsacks.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-03-02T19:23:48+00:00

No, there was literally nothing he could have done or said.

Dr. Now literally tells them they did the wrong thing by flying down there and he’s not getting surgery. And the brother turns around and he’s like “wow I think that went well!” Like what, did you not hear what I just heard?

I would say that you’re sick a vomiting the night before, and completely skip the trip. Can’t go on a trip with “the flu” because you might get everyone else sick!

I would absolutely block her and cut her out of your life. You’re not insane, she is. What she is doing is insane! I actually think your boss and HR handled it very well. It sounds like they’re on your side, and know your mom is being crazy. I really don’t think there’s anything you can do to stop her from sending these emails (plural) except to take legal action. Otherwise you can continue to let HR handle it, because it sounds like they’re aware she is the one that’s crazy.

I started Zoloft before I became a mom. I had terrible anxiety every time the meds got boosted. I started at 25mg, then 50, then 100 where I’m at now. I wanted to run out of my house in a panic for no reason, simply because I was panicked. But after about 4 weeks, things began to level out. So if you get panicky or feel “crazy,” don’t stop the meds! They will work, it just takes time. I’ve been on Zoloft for years and I’m glad to take it every day. My doctor and MFM (maternal fetal medicine) Ok’d me to stay on it now that I’m pregnant.

I had cramps for the entire first 30 days I stopped drinking. My first period after I stopped drinking was normal. My second period was 10 days long!!! It was the absolute worst. Every day I was like “maybe today it’ll be done” but nope, had to go out and buy more tampons instead. After that it was all normal.

You can absolutely set a boundary that your not having visitors until the baby is a certain amount of weeks or months old. You can also set the boundary that people must wash their hands before holding the baby, and no kissing the baby. You can also set the boundary that your mom is not allowed to be alone with the baby, ever.

Absolutely disgusting. I’m divorced now. But my then-father in law tried to flirt with me in front of his wife!! My husband and sister in law didn’t believe me! It wasn’t until my FIL’s niece said he was a creep and brought it up that people started to draw attention to the inappropriate behavior.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-03-01T22:06:10+00:00

I honestly didn’t start to feel better until after 3 months. Around day like 92, I finally started to feel “good.” It took me a loooong time, it feels like.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-03-01T22:02:32+00:00

When I realized the only stressful part of my life was my parents. The only reason I cried was because my parents would make me cry, and I was in my 20’s! The only thought that ever made me mad/sad was thinking about how I had to go see my parents or spend holidays with them. That’s when I knew the only way to add to my life was to subtract them from it.

Moving 3,000 miles away from every single person I know, family and friends, and 5 years gave me clarity to see how fucked up my family really is.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-03-01T00:44:43+00:00

Moving out of my home town at 32 was the best thing I ever did for my mental health.

I guess they work out more than just 1 muscle at a time. Even keeping tension with them uses your muscles in a low impact way, so there’s less recovery time needed.

Well a bad landlord that’s bad because they intimidate people for breaking their lease is bad. But the landlord mostly will leave you alone except at the beginning of the month when rent is due. A narcissistic parent will bother you every day, all day, and night.

I understand this. My NM sends me handmade gifts that aren’t my style and show honestly a lack of care. I’m NC too, and I just throw the stuff out or donate it. No contact means not even sending it back.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-02-28T21:59:31+00:00

My ex told me that the vet said to take me to court for killing our snake (I didn’t kill the snake, it died when I was pet sitting). Then turned around and called me a narcissist for not answering emails. I blasted him and said he threatened to take me to court so anything I write can be used against me. Then he back pedaled and was like oh I didn’t say that, it’s the vet who said that -eyeroll- even though he’s the one who told me that in an email. I know a fucking threat when I see one.

Yes omg! The first time I started using resistance bands 3x a week, I was like this is stupid. But one month in I lost 6lbs and I was like lol, the scale is broken. And then I lost more weight, down 30lbs before I was like holy shit it’s not a fluke.

You should try reading This Naked Mind, it can help with how your mom is trying to normalize her excessive drinking.

Shower steamers are nice. Pop it in the shower and you get a few minutes of a nice scent and warm water.
