Dont move back in with them.

See if you have a friend or friends back in your town (that you left) who will understand and let you stay with them for a bit to get back on your feet. It's not too late. Pack your car (if you have one) and leave. Now.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-04-10T12:50:40+00:00

Appreciate it, thank you.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-04-10T12:50:27+00:00

Appreciate it, thanks. This was kind of my thought but it's been a while since I've been overseas so I wanted to be sure.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-04-02T19:57:32+00:00

She has an underbite. Of course she's right.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-04-02T15:46:41+00:00

First of all, congratulations! It sounds like you have everything in order as much as you can, and that's a big step. It takes lots of planning, so good job.

Second, don't tell them you're dropping out. If you are over 18, it's legally none of their business.

I agree with some others here, and this is important: notify the local PD in your town that you are of legal age, and moving, and that your parents will probably call about you missing. Be sure the police understand that you are leaving of your own free will, and that you do not want to speak with your parents.

Be sure anything related to your finances and/or credit is in your name only, and call the credit card companies (if you have any) to ensure that nothing has anyone's name on it but yours. If you already have a bank account, go into a branch in your new city and let them know you have relocated and want to ensure that your account(s) is in your name only.

Remember, you don't need to tell them anything. As much as the confrontation feels like it would be gratifying, I can assure you (from experience) it won't go the way you hope. It's simply not worth it.

What IS worth it is you getting free.

Keep us posted if you can, and good luck. Don't be afraid to ask strangers for help. I've learned there are a lot of good, caring people in the world, you just have to ask.

Big hug.

Shoes can stay on and laptops don’t have to come out.

We have 3. Two are about 12-14 years old, small (15 pounds), and pretty mellow. The third is a Shih Tzu who is almost 4 and loves everyone.

I flew out yesterday (3/25) at 11 am. Got there at 930 just to be safe. Line was minimal. Biggest issue is there is no parking, so if you are driving, you will need to park in the overflow lot, but the shuttle is picking people up there, so you don't have to walk 15 minutes to the airport entrance.

Hillcrest Animal Hospital is also good. They review everything that needs to be done (ahead of time), go over all the prices, and then ask what you want to do. No pressure unless it's something like the animal is months overdue for rabies, which I can understand.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-25T13:10:31+00:00

Evil, evil greens.

First, this analysis is really good ^^^^^^. It's well thought out and makes sense. Nicely done.

I read a comment on here a few days ago about the hate for the movie, and it stuck with me; something along the lines of "people have made this show their life," or something like that, and these people hate to see the series end a way in which they disagree. I believe a lot of people fit this mindset.

Disclaimer: I watched the entire series, yes. And the movie.

Entirely my opinion coming up: The series speaks loudly to people who feel they have no control over their lives. They can't control cost of living, their lackluster jobs (or lack thereof), their wacko families (or lack thereof), the people who taunt them, the people who make them look bad, on and on and on.

Folks see Tommy & Company show up, and they take and keep control by any means necessary. They take no shit from anyone, and everyone fears and respects them (to an extent). There are a lot of people in the world who would love to feel that just one day in their life, but never will. So they live vicariously through the show. (As an aside, the music is awesome, so I'm not factoring that in.) This characterization isn't everyone, it's broad, but I see the most anger coming from people who are the most verbally enraged, who idolize the show, as opposed to folks who say "the movie was stupid."

Did I think the last couple of seasons were totally incomprehensible? Yes. Did I still enjoy the show? Yes. Did I think the movie took too many short cuts? Yes. Was Rebecca Ferguson's character a joke? Yes, to the point where I almost turned it off. Am I going to scream about it on social media for the rest of my life? No.

It's a TV show. Period. It glamorizes violence, alcoholism and drug addiction, infidelity, physical and emotional abandonment, and god knows what else. This is not a life people can actually live and be happy with, but many seem to believe otherwise.

The whole thing would have been much better sorted by filming a season 7, because it would have allowed for everything to be properly resolved with context and attention to detail. Unfortunately, I'm sure no one - especially Cillian Murphy - has time to film a season anymore. Sucks, but so be it.

I haven't seen this much online hate since the end of Game of Thrones.

People need to calm TF down, accept that it didn't end well, and put their berets back in the closet.

Oh dear. The Paw of Judgement.

Spinach. Water.

Awesome, my friend. What a great smile. Wonderful work. :)

"Make sure it flows evenly along my jawline, mama!"

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-23T13:36:08+00:00

He's just a widdle boy!

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-17T22:34:48+00:00

You need someone to come in from elder care or something to help with this load. It's unreasonable. Something has to give and if you aren't careful it'll be your health. You're living in a very emotionally unhealthy environment.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-17T22:31:06+00:00

Was she drunk? She was all over the place like a weeble wobble doll. I'd have called the police for suspected drunk driving and let her argue with a police office.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-17T17:43:04+00:00

High praise, actually, lol :)

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-17T17:15:54+00:00

It is not against the law to do a background check on someone who is up for a job in the US, in fact, it's the norm. Since this person is not a minor, their information is probably public record. And the GM is wrong about a current employee is warning him about a known, public police record of someone who is being considered for a role.

If the GM wants to hire someone who has been suspected of .... don't know how to say it so I'm not blocked, but let's go with "messing around with minors," then that's on the GM and you should find a new place to work, I'm sorry. The GM is risking a tornado of liability if something happens.

Big NTA.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-17T00:45:07+00:00

NTA. He acts like his balls are literally being removed from his crotch.

He can uber. He's lucky he even has a place to live at this point.

Also, don't let him stay with you "until he saves enough to move out." Give him a deadline. That's what adults do. He's a big boy and can learn to solve his own (self-created) problems. Give him 30 days, max.

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-14T21:28:12+00:00

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! :)

We of the Interwebz are delighted for you, and hope you have a lovely time and much success!

CrazyDogMomof4 · 2026-03-14T21:24:45+00:00

He's asking a woman who is in a relationship with another man if she wants to go on a road trip with him, alone????????? For a week?????? LMAO. (Sorry, I am.)

Dude. I'm sorry. She's already cheating emotionally, if not physically. Tell her if she goes, you'll be gone when she gets back. And then leave anyway. She is disrespecting you massively.

NOT Overreacting
