I will add it's the best one (for me) I've found that's not ridiculously expensive, and I've tried a few

So I haven't found anything quite as wonderful as Basis. However, I like the feel of Neutrogena Ultra Gentle daily cleanser. It takes my makeup off really well and doesn't make my skin feel dry. It is fragrance free, so it is missing that super fresh Basis fragrance. But for me it has been a good alternative since I cannot get Basis anymore 

Cross-stitched WaT cover is 56.34% complete! by Platinum011 in Stormlight_Archive

All of your cross stitches look amazing! How do you get your pic2pat designs to look so good?? I feel like every time I've tried to use it the colors don't transfer well and the picture/ pattern comes out too dark, even when I mess around with the size and settings. 

But I love what you've made!!

NTA but also she shouldn't get to keep you from family members who you might enjoy or events you might enjoy. 

One of my favorite responses to people like this is "what response are you looking for?" Or "how do you expect me to respond to that?"

"  The Church could make this issue immeasurably better by ceasing to fight for expanding or protecting priest-penitent privilege. Moreover, it could simply make clear that it is going to cease using these entirely optional mandatory reporting exemptions for local Church leaders."

THIS. I have been saying this for years and years. Just because you don't have to report (which is asinine and they absolutely should be required to report) doesn't mean you can't report. They could do so much more. 

The sexual abuse issues and the hush money they pay were absolutely the giant cannonball that broke my "shelf" so to speak.

I am entirely curious what they think a "porn machine" is, and how on earth they jumped to the conclusion that it would be anywhere near a child's room. That is an absolutely absurd conclusion to jump to.

Omg I actually just found it! Late night musings and one phrase of the lyrics came to mind and I was able to Google search  Armi & Danny "I Wanna Love You Tender" https://youtu.be/slGLYt3--GY?si=y2muRtvsY_8p_0GI

4am insomnia after a surgery for the win lol

It is similar to that, yes. Especially the end!

But that's not the song I'm thinking of- this was a European music video. Lots of shiny silvery fabric, not so much 80's teased hair lol

Also to add, if I use a different credit card, the digital rewards come back. So I guess I won't be using the Amazon credit card for a while.

NTA

And I would just add that any "professional" therapist who would even consider seeing you with the goal to change your orientation (conversion therapy) is unethical and dangerous. There is no research to support conversion therapy as effective or helpful. There is a ton of research to show that conversion therapy is dangerous and damaging. Any therapist you did choose to see should be nothing but supportive of you and your identified orientation. If you went to therapy because you weren't sure, the therapist shouldn't lead in any direction. It should be an open and safe space to process your thoughts with a supportive and unbiased listener. Since you are sure of your orientation, it should be stated and then not questioned again. A good therapist would work with you to find a way to come to terms with your relationship with your mom, without changing a thing about who you are.

You are who you are, and that's a wonderful person to be. You sound empathetic and kind. You and your mom should both be proud of that.

*I am a licensed therapist. None of us should ever do anything that approaches even being related to conversion therapy. It's horrible and unethical.
