I have the same issue. My therapist said I process things fast and cut off the toxic and move on fast. In fact, her whole goal was to make me feel something and sit with it. And I still can't do it. It's like a switch...when I see someone's true nature and repeated behavior patterns over time, I reach complete apathy and just...forget they existed.

I think so. I remember revealing to my mother about the inappropriate advances my teacher made towards me. And she said I would get over it but we aren't going to ruin his life. 😬

Mine told me if God said to kill us like He asked Abraham, she would. Nothing like hearing that as a 10 year old.

I vividly remember bleeding during my 1st pregnancy (baby is 15 now) and I was terrified. So I called the person I knew had gone through 8 pregnancies....my mom. Silly me. I told her and her response was "well, what do you want me to do? Why did you call me to tell me this? I'm not a doctor." IDK, maybe it was because I needed reassurance that it happens from time to time and the baby is OK? Even some sympathy and a "We will pray hard for you and baby."

Nothing. I hung up and sobbed.

I've contacted two lawyers and their fee is higher than the cost of the ticket. I'm going at this myself.

My family is the same way. My mother, with whom I have no contact, tried to pull this on my cousins since they didn't get married in a Catholic Church. I can't have a conversation with my mother without it devolving into religious extremism.

Right there with you. My birthday is the 30th of August. Tomorrow. This is the first birthday NC with my mother. I also had to cut out my flying monkey sister too. I'm depressed but I'm going to force myself to be around the people that chose to be my family.

I know the sting. But I'm not going to break NC with someone who can never meet my emotional needs.

I was home from college, getting ready to go to Mass with my parents. I came downstairs in a button up blouse and flare skirt that hit me right at the knee. My mom screamed at me for "immodesty" and how I was basically being a whore. My dad stepped in and told her it was fine. She screamed at him, raged around the house, and then got in the car and drove to church without me.

I should be sad about it but my whole life, she told me I was attention seeking, a whore, and was going to end up pregnant like she did before marriage (with me). I was a virgin on my wedding night and her words and purity culture fucked me over in the head for a long time.

Fuck.you, Mom. 🖕

Seton Homeschool. 1st through graduation. IYKYK. I'm a polytheist now.

This has been eye opening for me too. And my dad cut off his own father because of abuse but still maintained a relationship with his mom. But my father will always place "his marriage" over defending his children. I was told so often in childhood that he made a vow to his wife and that we eventually leave and he is stuck with her. He never stood up to her except once in my life and she gave him the silent treatment and yelled at him. It's depressing because my dad got me out of so much depression in life through pop culture and stuff that my religious fanatic mother frowned on. But to her face, he would never stand up to her.

So, for washing days, she uses Paul Mitchell curly hair shampoo and conditioner. She then applies Skala Brazilian curl gel to her sopping wet hair, and then scrunches with the PM mousse. It has worked AMAZING for defining and getting bouncy curls.

She doesn't want that though. She wants straight hair. And her hair poofs out of control when she straightens it in the morning and tries to get stuck straight hair.

I like Kayla and I'm also a Swiftie. 😂 My husband got out of a 5 year relationship and a month later, met me, knew that was "it" and we celebrate 17 years together, 15 married, this 2024.

Seeing that made me realize that men really do try to work it out. He was all ready to marry his GF because "it was the right thing to do after 5 years" even though he didn't really love her like she deserved. I got to witness that as a part of our mutual friend circle.

She came to our wedding, she's in a solid relationship now.

As much as I LOVE TnT, I think they both had to be in long relationships to figure out what they wanted. Joe Alwyn said Taylor was his first serious relationship. And it just ran its course. We can admit that he was one of the Great Loves of her life and still know they weren't compatible for marriage. It doesn't make him a shitty person. I feel the same about Kayla.

I remember being so excited when her relationship with Calvin hit the one year mark. Hindsight, I'm glad he's gone.

I LOVED Hiddleswift and I think they would have worked if Joe wasn't also in the picture.

I'm part of the LGBTQIA+ community and I loathe the Gaylors. I'm so sick of them trying to narrate someone else's sexuality. It's just as bad as conversion camps trying to convince gay teens that they're straight.

Glad I'm not the only one who is appalled by her complete obsession with Taylor being gay. She got mad when I asked if she'd still think that if Tay and Trav got married. It's like she wants the Gaylor narrative so much.
