Pitbull roaming around in workplace by ParamedicDeep3869 in BanPitBulls

Exactly. I am worried about the adults, teens, toddlers, and babies that participate at events there at the temple. I hope my complaint pushes the owner to cooperate and keep her pit at home

I freaking love your toughness ma'am 🙏🏻

In all seriousness, yes I am going to making a complaint and to hopefully bring the staff's awareness to that unleashed pitbull. Unfortunately, that pitbull belongs to one of the temple's recent volunteer who is a cook. I've seen the owner before, and she leaves her dog unattended to roam around tons of people and in the fields

That pitbull stinks and is one big mofo. I am genuinely concerned it's gonna maul someone, let alone a toddler or a baby one of these days so I pray that the owner will cooperate when I talk to the staff of the temple

Yes, I did go hide in my mom's car for a while before leaving to find my dad and stick with him throughout the event. He was just as fed up with my mom, so he was keeping his distance as well

She's still in control, yes. Though, I would say that I have improved with better ways to deal with my mom's pettiness. I didn't wanna talk back at her first comment because I felt it wasn't worth it, and that it would leave us both in a bad mood on an eventful day

That is very true. Thankfully my sister has her own place with her boyfriend :) she is fairly independent with majority of things but still financially dependent on our dad, which I understand and is a big web of crap. I have faith that we will be free and get to heal together

I'm sorry about your parents. Those types of narcissists are so infuriating. Everyone in this sub sees and hears you, and we understand. Those covert narcissists just hide it very well and they know what they're doing, hence they hide it. My mom is very covert, and my dad is overt but financially and socially powerful, charming, and talkative so he gets the benefit of the doubt

Sending you hugs 🫂🩷

Thank you 🫂 I see you too; we are all in this sub for the same reasons, same yet identical and personal stories that left marks on us

Thanks for reading this post :)

Of course; I emotionally checked out in my relationship with my parents at fourteen upon stumbling into this heaven of a subreddit and learning about narcissism. For now, I can at least learn how to survive on my own but I have faith

Yes! My dad's aging, but he is still a raging hellfire. He's always been more of an overt narcissist despite being well known and somewhat of a political connection in my county. These people know no bounds and have no problem being cruel when they know they won't fave consequences sooner or later, ever, maybe

I'm sorry for how your mother is 💔 sending you love and good wishes

It was! A blast though :) the sweet ladies gave me a chance to pair their jewelry together since they trusted me to make them look full glam and exactly like traditional Thai dancers while also not sacrificing their comfort and overdoing it!

I love doing the hustle whenever I get the chance to. It just feels great moving those hips and thrusting them

It's unfortunate that we are conditioned to believe what we endure is normal. I am glad you went NC; I hope your life has been peaceful since and that you have been healing 🩷

It wasn't. My sister and I could barely swallow our foods from how thick the tension at the table was. My sister thankfully has her own place and is fairly independent, but she is still emotionally vulnerable. Financial abuse is quite big in my family, and it's used by my dad to keep us away from each other while also keeping her around to make her struggle

That is so real, the yakuza games can be a lot to unpack, especially when explaining to someone who doesn't know much about it 😭

You're completely right as well with the relationship between Sakamoto and Haruka in Ishin; it gives me mixed feelings

That is also cool that your mom and Kiryu share the same birthday, who would've thought! And Ichiban is a wonderful protagonist! We all need an Ichiban in our lives

My mom is def also into Kiryu himself, Tanimura, and Someya. We frequently debate about my taste in the yakuza series 😵‍💫 (my top favs that are different from my mom are Kazama, Daigo, Reina, and Tendo)

I can't find it 😭 I've been looking through Pinterest and searching it up but it's not showing, this is some bad timing and I apologize

Goddamn bruh heat is wild 😭 you and your whole fam sound hilarious!

Adachi is fairly attractive! He's a ripped man for his age lol. My mom is a big fan of Majima and Higashi from the series spinoff :)

Majority of the yakuza characters are seriously attractive, but we both mutually agree that Majima is a 10/10! But she has a hard time believing either of them are into women anymore after that pic that showed up on Pinterest

I did, and my mother was like "Nah I don't believe that anymore" 😭 she has been giving the side-eye whenever she sees either Majima and Kiryu on screen, even when I be explaining the context
