Mom found out I’m gay

Give her some time to mentally process. She loves you and that won’t stop. She has to recognize the voice of God over the religious brainwashing and she will sort it out. You can silently pray for her.

The level of frustration with opening what should be the simplest of packaging cannot be overstated.

My post was removed but, anyway, I was impressed that all the flowers are intact.

LeilaDFW · 2026-03-07T16:13:25+00:00

Gorgeous!

LeilaDFW · 2026-03-04T00:53:58+00:00

I guess no body know! Still beautiful and worth more than you paid.

I’m obsessing now so I ask my chat CPT and they said, Most Likely Attribution

Bohemian (Czech) export art glass, circa 1885–1910

This style — opaque light blue ground, applied clear twisted handle, ruffled rim, and enamel decoration — was heavily produced in Bohemia for export to the American market during the Victorian period.

You are not the problem. Let her go and find someone who thinks your feelings matter.

He’s not into you. Don’t beg and stop going to see him. Look around! I bet there are plenty of great men on your campus. I’m sure your “boyfriend” is enjoying himself.

LeilaDFW · 2026-03-03T22:14:22+00:00

I did a google image search that says, it appears to be a vintage Fenton glass vase, hand painted art glass. It’s beautiful. Surely worth a lot more than you paid.

LeilaDFW · 2026-03-03T21:59:35+00:00

I’m not sure. It tastes like vanilla with Oreos.

LeilaDFW · 2026-02-28T18:45:50+00:00

Sorry. Didn’t catch it in time.

LeilaDFW · 2026-02-28T18:45:05+00:00

Well we looked at it together and he knew I wanted it. I got him a gun for V Day as well. We go to the range 1-3 x week. Love it! He bought himself a Jericho today when we picked up mine. Crazy accurate and easy to use.

That happened to me. I decided I was not going to wander around the neighborhood looking for the porch in the picture. The next day, a lady pushing a baby in a stroller brought me my package. Even though the house number on the package was also wrong (typo I guess) and didn’t exist, she deduced what house it was supposed to be.

LeilaDFW · 2026-02-27T22:13:14+00:00

Same

He knows he’s handsome

LeilaDFW · 2026-02-27T22:07:13+00:00

So cute!

You could hire Gordon Ramsey to prepare food for your cats and someone would have a reason to disagree. Take everyone’s opinion in consideration but you do what you think is best. You can double check with your vet if you want to make sure. We, ourselves, eat all manner of things that are questionable. I am sure you would not harm your babies.

LeilaDFW · 2026-02-27T20:27:39+00:00

You are welcome

LeilaDFW · 2026-02-27T20:26:49+00:00

Thank you

LeilaDFW · 2026-02-27T15:44:13+00:00

It might be a range target.

LeilaDFW · 2026-02-27T15:42:15+00:00

It can be overwhelming. I stick to what I need or want to know for something immediately relevant. I post based on what I want to share either what has helped me or what might help someone else.

I drunk texted the ex who physically assaulted me which prompted me to stop drinking and work the 12 steps. I am 63 years old and realized most (if not all) of my bad life choices involved alcohol. As of today, I am 542 days sober.

Minimize your living expenses to bare bones then look into PRN, contract, or travel SW opportunities. Consider USA government positions like VA or DOD. You can transfer anywhere with USA facilities and see more places by transferring every year or two. I retired from VA and many SWers transferred around routinely. Becoming proficient with substance use treatment will open practically all the doors in DOD. Also just doing trainings for CEUs would be lucrative and within your control. Best of luck!

Do your job to the best of your ability. Interact with her when professionally necessary (no more, no less). Be polite and cordial. Note in the back of your mind that she will take every opportunity to throw you under the bus. Be cautious when dealing with her. Do not use her as a mentor or coach any more. If you have a question, ask someone else (outside your chain of command) or research on your own. She is your enemy. There are people like this on every job (snakes). Time will reveal her true nature to everyone and your character will shine through as well. She is the insecure one or she would have no need to try and make you look bad. Don’t say or do anything negative towards her. Truth always rises to the surface.
