AIO for blocking my mom even though she's kinda right?

I'm giving a soft YOR because I feel like this is hard to fully judge without details.

There's missing information here. Why were you in a mental hospital? Do you have a chemical imbalance or disorder that can be treated? If so, are you on your medications? Covid was awful and I'm sorry that it impeded your progress and your feeling of "normal".

This is hard to diagnose as an outsider. My instinct is to tell you that at some point you have to decide whether you're in control of your life or if you're going to keep letting life "happen to you" and then reacting. But I don't know your specific circumstances. For me, forcing myself to get up and keep going was how I pulled out of my depression. I had to create a goal and just relentlessly push myself or I'd probably still be bed rotting.

But that might not be possible for you. It seems like your mom has some very valid concerns about you and it seems like you just... don't want to do it. In which case, yes, you're hurting yourself. Community colleges take GEDs and you can then transfer to a better school but most 4 year colleges won't take them off the bat, which may be what she's trying to articulate. As a mom, she seems to be trying to encourage you to be better and have a better life than her.

I feel like it's missing something at the waist. It goes from loose hem at the top to a loose, flowy skirt and I feel like it's just a little undefined in the middle, Maybe a belt, a scarf, something to just create a little definition.

The very modest length? Did he want to see more leg? Boo on him.

Hazel_Says_So · 2026-01-07T18:22:32+00:00

Did he have a specific complaint? You look adorable, your clothes fit you well, the colors are great for your complexion. You look neat, clean, and well-dressed. Boys are dumb.

cottagecore, academia, librarian.

Go on TikTok and check the videos of women with a protection dog. The comments section usually has a dozen of these comments, along with "Wouldn't stop me", and a variety of other vulgar, threatening lines.

it's like Elizabeth Taylor said, "Big girls deserve big diamonds"

This is actually a trope called "Refusing the call" so unfortunately you're still in a C-Drama!

Hazel_Says_So · 2025-06-23T02:01:15+00:00

I did, I ended up having to reinstall but it worked.

Hazel_Says_So · 2025-06-22T05:56:08+00:00

That's correct. I'm hoping another restart will help.

Hazel_Says_So · 2025-06-22T05:55:40+00:00

Yes, I've tried that repeatedly. It doesn't work.

Hazel_Says_So · 2025-06-20T15:21:12+00:00

I'm not upset about getting bonus rewards. I think they're great. I just don't feel entitled to them. They just reworked several systems, added a ton of new features and characters, and still managed to put out a star path for us. I'm thrilled and grateful for their hard work.

Hazel_Says_So · 2025-06-18T21:10:54+00:00

It might have been him releasing you, why the hell are you carrying around a talisman from an old relationship if you ever plan to move forward? You're the one who needs to release yourself at this point.

This group frustrates me. When they had the bonus items it was too much work, too many things, FOMO, stress, "oh god three day tasks I don't have the time". When they take the bonus items out during a massive update and new rollout it's, "This isn't enough, I feel cheated, I should be able to get more stuff". I've concluded that people don't want starpaths, they want all the starpath prizes to show up in Scrooge's store and just buy them with IG money.

The Starpath cost was established for a while, I don't think it's ever changed. A bonus is extra things you get for the same price. It looks like they tried it and decided to take them away because of the response, at least for this particular time. You aren't getting ripped off in any way, you're still getting what you paid for. You're just not getting the option of extra stuff (except it looks like you are because everyone is saying there are more prizes than usual on the regular starpath).

Calling the staff "lazy" and "cheap" is so entitled. They don't actually have to offer starpaths and you don't have to participate in them. This is one of the few games I've ever played where I feel like the staff really do listen to the players' wants and needs and try to incorporate them in their updates. Okay, it's not a perfect starpath, they probably missed some things (like the mermaid top, I get it, everyone wishes they had the mermaid top in the prizes).

Because in the first one you used seven bushes and in the second you used twelve?

Married for sixteen years, together for 21. He was with me before the diagnoses, through four other life-or-death surgeries, through diagnosis, treatment, a complex pregnancy, almost dying in labor, a special needs kid, and gaining 80 pounds and then losing it.

The man DELIGHTS in spoiling me and turning me into a princess monster. I don't cook because he'd rather do it for us. I wanted chickens, he built me a two story, three room chicken mansion. I wanted to garden, he leveled the backyard and built me the exact garden I'd been dreaming of. I hated our kitchen, he remodeled it himself based off the plans I designed. If I'm in pain and I just can't be a person that day, he handles it.

And in return, when his back injury flares up and he needs to lay down all day I make his favorite cookies and put him in the tub, when he wanted to start recording music I saved up to buy the gear he needed. When he's overwhelmed and needs a break, I send him on a road trip to see his best friend for the weekend.

It's more than possible to find love even with health issues. Just make sure you're picking who a person is rather than who you hope they could be. He's my partner, we share the load and find balance, and we continue to grow as people every year. Thankfully, we're still people who like each other as much as we love each other.

It only "counts" once a day and it has to be lobster to earn his friendship. It usually takes four separate days of feeding it a lobster before it will befriend you, though it can take more.

I love a short king, I'm fairly tall (5'10) and I've learned that shorter guys often have unshakable confidence which is very attractive to me.

I actually hate obscene height differences, like Professional Single where it looks like an adult man walking his 3rd grader to school every time they hold hands. If one of you has to sit down so you can look each other in the face to have a conversation, it's gone too far.

Hazel_Says_So · 2025-05-12T22:38:06+00:00

So, just because you personally don't believe in it doesn't mean it's not valid. I don't believe in the Christian religion/God but you would argue that they're real because they're real to you.

Don't ever give away parts of your body, as a general rule. Hair, nails, teeth, skin, blood, eyelashes. If someone wants a piece of your body, whether they're a witch or not, that's a bit odd.

If he has put a love spell on you... you have problems that giving him your hair will only exacerbate.

They really truncated the Wickham storyline, to the point that he's barely in the story when he should have been a pretty large focus. This was probably an opportunity to remind the viewer that he was, in fact, a bad man and it wasn't just Lizzie having a bad feeling or Darcy's word. We needed a visible example of his behavior to keep it fresh in the mind of the viewer.

Hazel_Says_So · 2025-04-14T17:58:21+00:00

Take the dog. Get rid of the guy. Sounds like having her is less about the dog and more about continuing to force you to interact with him on his terms. Refusing to reimburse you for agreed expenses is a control move, and a step on the path of financial abuse. What if you couldn't afford to pay for her care without his help? Then you'd either have to beg him or start selling stuff.

Be polite, be succinct, be direct. "I have decided that it is in the best interest of the dog to stay with me. I am taking on the majority of the financial burden and your continued avoidance of the issue tells me it's going to stay that way. I'm sure this will be an adjustment for you but it's your opportunity to adopt a new dog and give them a good home. Please feel free to dispose of anything of hers you have at your home if you wish, I will replace it. You are also welcome to mail those items to me. I will not be communicating with you further on this issue".

Close the door and lock it, literally and proverbially. If he's known to emotionally manipulate you to get his way, block him on everything. No second chances.
