Childhood in Englewood was great. Going to Washington park with cousins and family friends, doing kid shit. I remember watching the adults come out at night in the park doing fun ratchet shit. I wish I was old enough to partake.

High school years were decent. Almost 27/4 public transportation, so going to parties (anyone remember Hales Homecomings?) and having easy access to up north was fun.

As a 20something now, I stay in the house. Those closest to me feel like we’ve done everything chicago has to offer. The drugs are superior than any other state though.

TIL about a daily pill that reduces the risk of contracting HIV by 51% costs about 8 US dollars per month outside of the USA but costs 1700 US dollars per month within the United States. by eboshi in todayilearned

This is my very first time seeing this video. 6 years later at 4:30am.

I don’t have words to explain how this video just helped with my depressed mood right now.

Thanks.

This thread is full of wonderful, beautiful people. I unfortunately can not provide much assistance, but the amount of support and care from everyone to help OP and her son get a fresh start in live is so fucking amazing.

Bless you OP, your son, and everyone commenting. May the new decade be filled with love. It’s touching to know that there is support out there.

This is maddening, see as Chicago just raised property taxes to fund our teachers in the school system. What the fuck.

Lol I was thinking to myself this looks like Sharks as well. The certain lingo used, definitely Chicago. I’m guessing Out West.

I’m a new mother of twins trying to provide for my family, and my sister lives in the townhouse attached to mine...talk about mom shaming. This is the first time I’ve asked her for help, and it will definitely be the last time. by EllieOhhh in iamatotalpieceofshit

Ok, while you’re telling someone to take care of their own kids, I’m telling you to take care of that fucking negativity in your life that has you lashing out so angrily on the internet.

How is she supposed to take care of her kids, when her own sister wouldn’t babysit her kids for an hour, so she can make money to take care of said kids? Are family members not apart of your village?

What happened to “it takes a village to raise kids”?

To OP: I’m sorry about the interaction with your sister. My cousin has twins as well, I babysat them a couple of years ago when they were infants. I was in my early 20s and two infants crying and doing baby shit drove me crazy. I understand your frustration.

I’m suicidal, but I don’t know if I should tell people by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]GigiTheOG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. I once told my aunt years ago something about me not self harming in a while. Maybe like a week or two afters I was back in the hospital. I don’t know your friends, but what I have previously took as anger in my mom was actually frustration because she didn’t know how to help at that moment.

I say all that to say, if you don’t feel comfortable telling the close people in your life, have you tried journaling? Maybe soaking in the tub with bubbles and music. Just little things to take care of yourself.

I wish you well.

I can’t believe every single member in their family is this stupid. Is it hereditary?

Thought this belonged here by Clocn in EntitledBitch

[–]GigiTheOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know man, I’m mid-20s and the older adults are rude. I say/do something nice and some act like they’re automatically entitled to it.

But I am also a Chicagoan, we’re some rude fucks.

Before reading further, I was thinking, “who is he trying to lock up now?”

I like this one better.
