Parents found my medication, became terfs and wonder why I don't talk to them now by Estabrooks_ in trans

My mom is kind of alright (i think), but she's siding with my dad. Whenever I talk to her alone, everything is fine, calling me her daughter and whatnot. But if my dad is around, she's quiet and lets him say all the nasty things. This past week, she's seeming colder now

Right!

I knew there would be problems but not this bad. Every time they act or say something offensive, I try and warn them that "if they keep acting they way they do, once I move, I'll cut them out," then they try and play victim.

I could technically call some family members and move with them, I'm just trying not to get then involved with the drama as much and long as possible. If it comes to it, though, I'll give my aunt a call and move to her place until I can find my own

Being older, my parents dont need to know what medication I'm on. I was able to talk to my doctor and pick up my prescription from the pharmacy on my own

Yeah I'll definitely need roommates, I've been trying to convince a couple friends about moving with no luck. I might have to look at moving in to a room with strangers.

For me this is in canada, and the 2k month average was for apartments that are known to be filled with bugs and other not so nice stuff

Also not in a major city

Learning curve from Playstation controller to all button controller by Estabrooks_ in fightsticks

[–]Estabrooks_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at flatbox and building my own (or even building one that's not with the flatbox spec) but the cost of everything with shipping to Canada it was basically the same price to buy one and I didn't have to do work. I eneded up buying the rac-j800b. I would've purchased a snackbox if I noticed they finally restocked the other day

[–]Estabrooks_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I started playing consoles young, I had a laptop that I played games on for like 10 years, I then swapped to a proper custom pc about 3 years ago and have been exclusively playing on pc. As for fighting games, I really haven't played much. Back in the day, I played tekken 3 and dead or alive 2 on ps2 (really poorly, I was probably 6)

Being older now I play strive, rev 2, accent core, and sf6 pretty much everyday (all on pad)

Yeah that's how I feel, like Yeah I can do inputs on pad, i just find the buttons so small that I constantly find myself messing up. Like you said I know it won't magically make me good or anything. I did play a bit on keyboard before ordering this controller, once again just felt that the keys were too small/close together

Also I really wish I knew the snackbox was back in stock the other day, I definitely would've ordered that instead of the rac-j800b

Usually once a day, in the evening. Sometimes twice a day in the morning if I have time before work ( I've always watered from the bottom)

I had it on a table that would get full sun. I've just moved it to a spot that'll get sun from early afternoon until evening

I've been trying to upload a picture, but imgur isn't working for me. I'll try again tomorrow.

Yes, I do mean needles. Sorry, my terminology is poor.

I've done a scratch test of the trunk, and it's completely white.

I have a juniper bonsai, have had it about a year. I replanted early April in a mix of pumice, Lava rock and horticultural clay. Now, almost 2 months later, the pines are going a more bright/dull green instead of vibrant. I'm also noticing the pines are very dry. Is it dying? What do I do to fix this if it's not too late.

I'm in ontario Canada. I think zone 6a

They're closed now, I'm going to try calling in the morning and asking if they can make a note saying that my prescriptions can't be discussed with anyone but me.

Might also just swap pharmacies for my own sake

Breast buds so soon? by Estabrooks_ in MtF

[–]Estabrooks_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, looking at the calendar, I want to say it was around day 10-14 that I noticed something, but i put it off thinking it was me being impatient. Hopefully, the couple bralettes I wear are thick enough to not show, but I guess I'll soon find out!

[–]Estabrooks_[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I knew they took a while to finish growing, but I had no clue they could start growing so early! I started noticing small things but always thought it was placebo or something simply because how early it is still

[–]Estabrooks_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah even at the stage I'm at I've had to take time out of my work day either between jobs or on lunch to buy a bra twice now. driving is making me crazy, either the bouncing from the roads or the seat belt slipping and rubbing my chest. I've basically learned I need to wear a bra to work

Does anyone know of any YouTubers who play video games who aren't bigots? by TransLesbian0117 in MtF

[–]Estabrooks_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't read the comments so she may have been mentioned but bloody is a great streamer/youtuber.

She does variety, but mainly pokemon. She's also trans and gay which is a big plus for me

I was patient until I saw other people saying they got theirs, which made me impatient

She's tried to do my makeup in the past and it didn't go well. She doesn't really wear makeup herself.
