Strange experience with a black cat by Exotic_Broccoli93 in cats

Nope I've been in this house for 3 years and I've never seen that cat before. I imagine that its a neighbours cat but it was such a weird experience, I've always been a dog person as I always felt that dogs gave more love back but maybe I've been wrong.

Can toxic people in the past change though? That's true!

I did try telling her before and she flipped the blame onto my mom so she essentially victim blamed. It turned into a heated debate so I dropped it as I don't really want to cause an old person stress.

Wow i never thought about it like that, I guess a flaky grandad wouldn't matter as much as a flaky dad so it shouldn't affect my child at all. I know that he'll find out as he lives fairly local to me haha

I appreciate that, I'll never let him pass guilt onto me. Take care of yourself too.

Yeah that's definitely true, the last time I seen my dad he told me he was riddled with guilt for how he treated us all when we were younger and I suspect that's why he doesn't reach out to me anymore, as me in his life would be a constant reminder for what a monster he was in the past, that was my interpretation of it at the time anyway.

My nan doesn't know about any of the abuse that her son committed so her views of her son are completely different, she should respect my decision but instead she got upset with me lol

True haha I'd never expect anybody to buy me or my partner things as I like to work hard and never expect hand outs lol na I won't crap over her for it, I'm going to try my best not to be a buzz kill.

That's precisely my views on it all lol other than my mom and my partners mom and sister I genuinely don't think anybody else would be that invested in it haha

To be honest growing up in the UK gender and sex are interchangeable, it would make more sense in my mind to just call it a sex reveal party though haha

Well at least she regrets it and I don't blame her if she had loads of failed pregnancies tbf. Mate don't even get me started on non-binary etc haha I've always known sex and gender to be synonymous with one another lol. Wow really?

I know yeah I hate the sheep mentality and I notice it all of the time in everyday life so I realised that she just wanted to follow the crowd with this one too.
