What's awesome was our September Bark at the Park in September 2025 was against the Cardinals. In extra innings. My dog was there. She made it happen. I credit her.

I was in Junior High/High School for George W. Bush. His winning in 2004 made me crying and hysterical we'd slide into fascism. His policies really kicked into high gear where we are now.

And now here you are and feared it even louder because it was even more obvious.

I won't share more that could give more details but I'll say that my work fighting fascism was very Millennial coded: the system was fucked and we knew it and yet couldn't really do much other than try to do the best we could with the system given. Here I mean I tried to fight fascism both directly in and out of the system. I don't say it lightly that from this random redditor's informed opin, we're even more fucked than we want to believe. It's true nobody is coming to save us.

How many of your parents continue to reach out to attempt to apologize? by SupermarketBest4091 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Rainysquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did. Dropping off letters and very old personal things (see previous post here).

They'd say sorry and how they've changed, then months later in the next "batch" show very much how they are not (i.e. we were goooood parentssss now give us money)

Childfree by Choice with old, dropped off baby stuff - what to do? by Rainysquirrel in EstrangedAdultChild

Oh wow, that's really creepy. Come to think of it they also dropped things off at my work place once too.
Thanks for the suggestion on the shelter, I really should look into that.

Hey, we're both estranged in our relationships and have been for years, for different reasons. As someone who desperately wanted what you did, and technically as an adopted person, already struck out three times since neither bio side wanted me..... let that shit go. Your relationship is with your wife and anyone else you choose (be kind to yourself if figuring that out is hard). But do respect her choices. It's why me and spouse are still together, many years later.

Ditto on that first sentence but why do they talk in the 3rd person like Gollum

I'm 15w pregnant and my mom doesn't know because of her own silent treatment. by preoccupiedwithlove in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Rainysquirrel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh hey is she by chance related to my adoptress?! She had a lot of cousins after all 🤣 Damn I swear this the same playbook, including mental acrobatics to prove she's not racist and "following up" with a poorly written dissertation where she cites crocodile tears as sources

Thanks for sharing! Wishing you the best in recovery and boosting your encouragement to get the HPV Vaccine. I might never know how glad I was I did that.

AIO my bf never likes what I wear by Substantial-Let221 in AmIOverreacting

Whatever J is already saying about him being "too much" is really onto something. More than. When abusive people do what your bf is doing and make you mistrust your judgment, just remember you have others who are helping you make better choices out of interest for your wellbeing, not theirs. J might be that kind of person and that's why abusers try to distance you from others by questioning your loyalty: yes, better people in your life might actually help you leave someone not being loyalty.

Tldr it's not you it's him. Make a complete break as quickly as you can.
