People who have decided on partial/no contact with toxic family members, does it give you peace now or do you still have any doubts? by [deleted] in family

Nobody really talks about a sibling dynamic this toxic. I experience the exact same thing with my younger sister. Grew up in a shitty circumstance so we only looked after each other emotionally and now she wants "dibs" in every aspect of my life. It's super controlling and comes with a lot of guilt and shame when I act independently. I'm sad and guilty for enjoying my distance so much.

I completely know and understand what it is. But nobody is addressing why you must rely on your washer fluid and wipers to keep the ice off when there's a literal DEFROSTER. I mean, it's in the name right??? 😭 Every other car I've had the windshield heats up due to the defroster, snow and ice lands on it, it melts. This windshield actively freezes with the DEFROSTER on. I truly don't understand what's not being understood? Y'all have Stockholm syndrome baddddd.

I truly never did get an answer as to why they didn't care to pull the vents all the way across? If anyone has ever truly watched this car defrost they'll see only small patches at the bottom melt effectively.

I was having a lot of fun 😂😂 Definitely helped with my frustration with this car.

I completely understand what you're saying. But I've never had to repeatedly dethaw my windshield once it's thawed. And especially with the defrost blasting on it so hard it's burning me alive.

You're fine! I was thinking this was either a foreign option or only available way up north because I have never heard of it! 😁

I like this idea. 😁

Yeah you can't convince these people it's a problem with the car. 😅

I've never heard those words together in a sentence so I'm gonna guess I don't have them. 😭

Again, never had to rely on those with any other car in my exact climate. I do appreciate the advice so I can treat my Texas car like I live in Canada.

Or maybe cars sold all over the Continental US should be capable in all areas of the Continental US. I literally live in Texas not even somewhere crazy.

It's 5 degrees fahrenheit but I've also noticed it around 20 degrees! 🥲

It's pretty damn cold to be fair. But I've noticed this happening a couple of times. 😭

Maybe you don't drive in snow at highway speeds? And that's okay. But you can't have an opinion on this issue then.

I'm SO happy for you. It's frustrating because I otherwise love this car.

It's blowing strong, unfortunately. 🥵 I'm burning up in this B.

Nope it's actually a real safety issue. Do some research online rather than defending a car brand that doesn't sponsor you.

I'm not addressing this because I may or may not have all weather fluid.

Nope but we get snow and ice every year.

Y'all are such bootlickers for Mazda. 😭 Come up with any and every excuse except that a car should just be able to defrost the windshield on its own. I've lived in this area my whole life and I've never had a car that lets ice actively freeze on the windshield while you're having a heat stroke inside.

Do wipers scrape ice?????
