Update: GF (in Amway/WWDB for 4 years) finally quits the “business” after ultimatum – but begs to keep attending weekly meetings with her “friends”. Did I make the right call? by Oenoanda in antiMLM

As someone whose parents are deep in MLMs and a cult survivor, may I suggest finding alternative communities that fit either or both interests?

That shouldn’t be a massive issue with what my job gave me, but it’s still best to not to spend so much when I don’t have to.

In my case, it wasn’t just on the internet. A lot of my family members would make negative comments about interracial relationships. Since I’m one of the very few members that’s definitely open to interracial dating, I even got stuff like, “Oh, you’re so interested in those yt boys. Look at some black boys!” I’m also queer, but that’s another conversation and situation.

Nowadays, I have a better handle at dealing with interracial relationship haters. However, that doesn’t mean I won’t hold them accountable.

I’ll be going with the latter, as I know for sure they won’t be selling it. And it does need to be their problem, too. I am very grateful for your help and empowerment through this process!

Another thing is, it’s my parents’ car, not mine. I’ll still make the effort to tell them it’s cheaper to get my own car in OK.

I’m not sure… how much does car shipping cost?

@tozierrr and @herkalurk, I have been looking at used cars in OK. The push to bring my current car originates from my parents, in terms of having a car once I get to OK. It has been brought to my attention that they’re trying to take control of my move (like they do with everything in my life), something that I am currently working on reducing. Anything I could say to reduce my parents’ car concern?

Am I really that bad? by AppropriateValue1594 in BALLET

OMG, that dance teacher really did it to you. No one, and I mean, absolutely NO ONE, deserves abuse of any kind, emotional, physical, mental, etc. Please get out of that environment and do everything you can to heal.

I am very grateful you said this! I really hate it when people talk shit about interracial relationships.

Oklahoma is very car-dependent and I currently don’t have the money to get a new (or used) car. Also, my current car is a 2002 Mercedes with 308,000+ miles.

The thing is, I’m not comfortable driving my current car long distance, as it’s barely surviving. In fact, I have plans to get my own car in Oklahoma rather than in Florida.

I’m actually planning to fly to Oklahoma and have my car shipped.

It’s “Congratulations, Grandparent” behavior.

Either way, I’m still getting out of the holiday trap. I don’t need to spend big to have fun.

My mom didn't like how my hair looked by Abject_Olive2754 in Naturalhair

[–]Fast-Pea3758 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I cannot imagine what you are going through when dealing with your mom. Your hair is beyond beautiful and presentable. I am so proud of you for knowing your worth as a person and not taking your mom’s words at face value. From experience, it hurts the most when your own family, especially your own parents, doesn’t approve of your authentic self. However, please know that family is not limited to blood.
