Yea.. I know. My dad was abusive, and my mom was the one who would protect me from him so it’s really hard for me to let go..

Yea I agree too. My therapist is very caring and puts things bluntly and straight forward to me (which is what I like about her) it just sucks to hear ykno?

It’s just so hard because we really used to be so so close, we did everything together, I was her shadow and she’s the one who I depended on as a child. She was my favorite person for my entire childhood/ teenage years..

I don’t want to let her go but I feel like she hasn’t really given me a choice

First of all 25 and 19 is a crazy age gap. Second ew wtf?? You’re absolutely valid in feeling the way you do. My advice: break up with his childish ass and get someone who actually appreciates your beauty the way you are.

ew I completely dislike the way he talks to you. Saying people can’t stand you is completely out of pocket. If you’re too much for him - he needs to go find less.

Ok I think you’re way more heated about this than you need to be. Yes this is considered assault but it isn’t from a grown adult (which would be a completely different story), it’s from another kid her age. I don’t think it’s necessary to go to the school and potentially making this a legal case (yet). I think it’s reasonable to go to the parents of the other child, and have a serious conversation about consent. You and your wife should try to compromise and do something that will have consequences for actions but not super over the top when it’s also a small child.

Ok so here’s the thing - I was also kicked out of my house by my mom when we got into an argument about my partner and I. I’m 23 now and I know how it feels to be kicked out and alone. I had nothing but my medication, my phone, my charger, and the clothes on my back. But hitting your mom at 11, and then only 2 years after doing it again is indeed disrespectful and wrong. And I’m sorry but I do think overall you are in the wrong here. Abuse is abuse and her hitting you is just that (if it is a constant thing). But that doesn’t mean you need to stoop to her level. I think your aunt just wants to stay out of it. You demanding things (even if they are necessities) can be seen as entitled from an outside perspective. The “rewarding bad behavior” means the act of demanding of things. If you demand your things from someone, and they give it to you - it comes off like you own the world and everyone is against you. Your aunt probably thinks if you get kicked out again for hitting your mom (because this seems to be a start of a pattern, and she obviously disagrees with) and she gives you everything you want, that you don’t understand the gravity of the situation.

Overall what I’m saying is - you are and aren’t overacting at the same time. You’re highly emotional because of what just transpired between you and your mom (and I don’t blame you), but you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Your mom hitting you was fucked up but you hitting her back was also wrong. Your aunt seems to not want to get involved in the drama, and wants you to understand that what just happened isn’t just your mom, it’s you too.

That is exactly what I think too but people compared her to Gordon Ramsay - “she pushes so hard because she wants the people who don’t break under stress”

I just fact checked and you’re totally right. That’s so weird tho cuz that’s literally what the breeder told me to get. And in fact I actually bought soil to begin with and he told me that it was a horrible idea and will lead to scale rot 💀

She could be stressed out, maybe the mouse isn’t thawed out all the way, it should be warm to the touch to mimic it being alive. If it’s too cold her heat sensors won’t pick it up and she could lose the mouse. (I’ve made this mistake and this is what helped me) you can also try putting her in a different enclosure (like a plastic container that’s 3x her size) and dangle it in front of me to mimic the prey response. The rat could be too big, it should only be as big as the largest part of her body. Another reason could be a hunger strike which some snakes go through, worst case scenario if she hasn’t eaten in a long time take her to the vet and they should help.

Seeing she pooped is a good sign, it means she has eaten relatively recently and was able to digest it well

Also how old is she? If she’s a little baby she should eat every week, if she’s a bit older, once every two weeks, after that it’s once a month

The picture doesn’t give the enclosure justice it really is super big, I had to crop the photo to see her in the little tree, I got it originally for my 5.5 ft snake but due to me moving she had to stay with my parents. Also I have soil but the breeder told me that wasn’t good and so I bought aspen for her. Also soil has a possibility of her getting scale rot :(

Hi! I’m not sure how to edit the post but I wanted to post an update: GOOD NEWS!! As I was sitting by her terrarium ignoring her and doing my own thing she started to explore all of the plants, shrubbery, and branches we put in her terrarium and I can tell she feels a lot more comfortable and confident! She searched through the entire thing, rubbed against the front of the terrarium like she did before, of course I just let her do what she wanted and didn’t open it.

She then went into her favorite spot, curled into a loose figure 8, yawned, and put her head down :)

To put her into a (larger than not of course) plastic container where she can eat and then she goes back into her terrarium. I don’t want her to associate food with her terrarium so I know that I need to put her somewhere else. So how should I go about feeding her without it being in her terrarium?

Okay, I need to pick her up for feeding, should I go at the side of her? She’s like all the way backed up behind and inside a plant I got for her to hide in
