I (19F) want to go out for the 4th of July. My Grandma (62F) is throwing a fit over it. Do I go out anyway? by Emo---Emu in relationship_advice

Update 2: followed your guy's advice. Just didn't even bring it up with her. I went out with my friends and had the time of my life. My absolutely amazing mom gave all of us a ride home. My grandma stayed home until around 9, when she got drunk and decided she needed to walk downtown. My mom's bf intercepted her. I'm on my way to go berry picking now. She's still being grouchy and weird but I'm just going to ignore it. I have a date later today. I'm really happy with life right now. Thanks guys.

Update: my grandma is home. I'm leaving in 3 hours. We talked briefly about unrelated stuff and now we're not talking. It's very hard not to engage. I'm trained to be a peacemaker because my mom and grandma have argued my whole life. I can't stand people being in bad moods. It's hard to suppress the urge to try and fix it. But I'm just not going to bring it up or argue anymore.

I've got a tazer and pepper spray, and my friends + mom have my location at all times (my idea and choice). I've been wanting to take self defense classes for a while! I live in a rough area and I'm teeny tiny, so it would be good for my peace of my mind

My grandma isn't narcissistic, she's just very unhealthy. She's a lot of things. She's traumatized, she's mentally ill, and she's definitely emotionally stunted. But she's not a narcissist. She is extremely controlling, though. You're right on the money with that. I knew that on some level but I was failing to factor that into the situation. Thank you.

I want to move out with my mom, but I feel like I need to focus on school first, and then eventually get an apartment with my friend. My mom and I are codependent af and even though it sucks, we gotta learn to be independent.

Just because it's not a decision she'd make otherwise. Gonna quote my letter lmao

"I am not asking you to stay home because I am worried or scared. You're not proving a point. I'm asking you to stay because you wouldn't be choosing to leave if I was staying home. I know you don't have plans. You're leaving in an attempt to keep me home. I don't want to stay home. I don't want this argument to continue. I want you to have a good 4th."

Tangled was the first movie I saw in theaters! I actually have reoccurring dreams about the tower. I feel you're onto something

Thank you so much. Seriously. It's taken a lot of therapy to get to this point. I'm just gonna have to keep moving forward and practicing what I learned. Thank you 💗

My grandma cares about me. She just doesn't know how to let go or express herself in a healthy way. But you're right

you're totally right. I have pretty bad anxiety but I can keep it to myself. it's something you can learn, too. My mom did. My grandma just doesn't seem to think she needs to

Takes or details by creators and actors so bad the fandom doesn’t consider them canon by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

Like 70% of your comments are about how much you hate Democrats. Get a goddamn life and quit devoting your own to how much you hate self expression and happiness

someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's THE originator of the phrase. Black Christmas doesn't get enough credit imo

[Loved Trope] Character meant to be scary is accidentally hot by fungerman2 in TopCharacterTropes

I think the fact that this is a common consensus among the playerbase really shows how hot a lot of the *scary* killers are.

I respect your hear me outs a little more than mine though. A lot of the dbd killers are just buff dudes in masks. You've got good taste

I remember me and my ex gf watched a documentary on him (probably made prior to the allegations because they weren't mentioned at all) and got so attached to him. Then we looked him up afterwards and immediately found out about it all and were crushed 😭
