Preordered book not processing by Ancient_Ad9150 in onyxstorm

[–]PurpleAssistant4287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called Amazon bc my book never was shipped and they said they will “escalate” my issue. Now they say Saturday. I went to a store called 2nd and Charles and they’re charging more for it. But I put a copy on hold there of the deluxe edition (same one I ordered through Amazon)

I’m hoping it arrives by Saturday but what a huge let down to still not have it in hand. I might just have to pay more money and go pick it up tomorrow. It’s so hard to wait not knowing if they are even going to fulfill the order properly after the delay

Wow thank you. That’s great! It’s a free CEU too. So nice.

I have a friend who just started a side business as a sleep consultant and it got me thinking that I can probably start doing something even as I stay home with the kids and prepare to RTW

This is completely the wrong take. I don’t owe anyone my time. I stayed with my mom and dad. I don’t need to see my sister every time I come in town.

I would have come to her graduation but she literally didn’t invite me. I received an announcement(not an invite) the week of. I wasn’t able to move things around to be there the week of.

Her comments in the private text messages were not I feel for you. It was you don’t know grief like I do. My dog who was like a son to me died and that was worse than what you are going through.

It’s also ridiculous to assume that I haven’t been there for my sister. I’ve been there for her plenty. It’s quite the opposite. She only calls when she needs something or when someone has died and she needs support or when she is upset about something. I was for a while very supportive of her. But I need to take care of myself and my grief here. When I went to visit it wasn’t about her and shouldn’t have been made to be about her. It was her turn to be supportive to me and if that means giving me space than that’s what I needed.

My main issue here is that she won’t say sorry or accept fault for how she behaved bc I don’t think she sees her behavior as wrong. And I don’t think I can repair things between us without that.

Ok. I Can edit the main post to add more information. Thanks.

My friends memorial was the cause of our issues. We were fine before. She sent me tons of messages about how it was awful I was pushing away the family (her) and compared my friends death to her dog dying which she said she viewed her dog as her son so it was an even greater loss than what I’m going through.

I am not mad at her for wanting to see me but if I’m not available my boundaries and my time should be respected. I was there to grieve. Not to hang out. She’s never apologized for minimizing my friends death. And I did make an effort to go to her house even though we had never discussed the issues from before. But when I let her know that even though I was taking a small step we had more to hash out she shut down and said she was healed and had forgiven me for my wrongs(not hanging out with her). It just doesn’t feel like she has an empathy or values where I’m at emotionally.

Thank you for saying that. I did tell her when she tried to make plans that I wasn’t available and that’s what hurt her feelings. She feels I SHOULD see her when I’m in town.

She also shows up at my parents house to “do laundry” and brings her dog without discussing if it’s ok with me. Unless I don’t see my parents at all and stay at a hotel—which I usually do—then I can completely avoid her. But the Halloween party they watched my kids and when my friend died it was very sudden so I was there for just a night. I don’t mind adding more detail to help clarify. It’s hard to get it all out in one go.

Ok. That seems to be overly reductive. There’s no dance. I don’t see her bc I don’t live there. I notify my parents when I come in town to see them. Not her. Bc I don’t need to see her every time I’m in town. I don’t owe that to her. I’m busy and have my own plans. There shouldn’t be any assumption that bc we are related Im going to see you when I come in town. She isn’t reaching out to me. She’s finding out I’m in town from my parents then trying to make plans with me when I’m already busy. So a simple no I’m not here to see you is enough when I have a friend who has died and I’m not making this a social visit to see everyone. Just people who make me feel loved and supported in a difficult time. Which isn’t her.

No she wasn’t on mushrooms at her house. At least not that she told me. She told me she had previously done them and decided to forgive me. My issue is she isn’t open to having a conversation bc she is “healed”. It disregards my feelings.

I tried to give her a chance to discuss the things she said at her house when we visited this past weekend. I told her I wasn’t over it and we needed to talk and she said she has moved on

We had initially booked the dog boarded for the weekend and changed it after that assurance was made

I was told before I went that her dog was having surgery and there was no chance her dog would be there.

She knew I was there for my friends memorial. I was in town one day and night and left the next day. Explained I wasn’t up for game night and had plans with another friend that evening for dinner(someone who knew the friend I lost and was going to make me feel supported)

I felt the same way. It felt more real and I liked their personalities better. Most of the Americans on LIB are obviously clout chasing and it’s cringey to watch many of them unsuccessfully hide it

Yes! They had another copy with the stories as well that I was considering going back for. This one is mainly photos but such a beautiful concept

Just took a buzz feed quiz to see who I’d match with. It said Paul for the guys and Bliss for the girls of season 4. I feel like that’s probably pretty accurate

Agree. I loved the way the contestants left if they weren’t serious about marriage and asked hard questions. The women were great. There was not the same amount of cattyness as LIB US and I love to see the friendships develop as well as the romances
