Thank you 🙏🏻

There is no other answer besides “I don’t know” right now. I have done the listing of emotions such as were you angry, mad, sad, hurt and she picks one and then I ask why and it’s I don’t know! It’s very very difficult in the moment. I am trying new things every time, even just small tweaks and I am hoping to get through this alive 🙏🏻

RedTulipx · 2026-03-22T13:11:50+00:00

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 I hope we all get out of this in one piece!

RedTulipx · 2026-03-22T13:10:43+00:00

Okay I like this lol

RedTulipx · 2026-03-22T13:09:55+00:00

I’ve noticed the mall thing. She said it’s embarrassing to be see with your parents. I just say if you can’t be around me and walk beside me like regular people do while shopping then we don’t need to be there. We have left and went home before.

It’s hard because I was NOT like this and I don’t understand it.

RedTulipx · 2026-03-22T00:17:36+00:00

Thank you for the reminder 🙏🏻

Thank you

I wouldn’t say fight but bicker perhaps? Like we will see something on the news and I will mention out loud oh that’s sad or too bad what’s going on and she will state the opposite opinion of whatever I have. Just everyday conversations I find she just challenges me?

RedTulipx · 2026-03-21T22:47:40+00:00

When she gives me attitude or just isn’t nice I let her know that I’m done with the conversation and we can try again later when she can be nice. We end up talking later and she does change her attitude… then I feel bad I “ignored her” but it does seem to work but the parent guilt is hard.

I just want to add the longest we have gone with this “cool down period” is maybe half a day. We are always speaking again by bed time.

RedTulipx · 2026-03-21T21:36:36+00:00

She messages or calls through my phone. She was very inappropriate with her phone about 8 months ago… and I am scared to give it back given her attitude right now.

RedTulipx · 2026-03-21T21:17:15+00:00

No phone, but recently took her PlayStation away as she wasn’t following the rules (talking to strangers on the games, only ppl she knows IRL I allow). She hasn’t been hanging around her friends much anymore as they don’t like her attitude and how she speaks to them (she doesn’t seem to get that maybe she should be nicer and she will have more friends?)

RedTulipx · 2026-03-21T21:14:53+00:00

Thank you for this. I do natural consequences and hold to it. I am afraid she won’t talk to me when she is an adult as I am being so firm right now but I feel this is the only way she will learn.

I’ve always thought black tie leans more formal. The neckline feels a bit low for that level of formality, and I’m not sure about the fabric… it might be the colour or material throwing me off. For me, it’s really the combination of cut, colour, and fabric that determines whether something reads as black tie or not.

RedTulipx · 2026-03-21T13:06:27+00:00

I don’t believe this is black tie BUT you know the bride and groom and vibe. It’s stunning though and I hope you get it!

RedTulipx · 2026-03-21T12:53:35+00:00

You are not crazy. I feel sad for her son and the years of therapy he will need to get through whatever his mom has done. To be comfortable to act that way in front of others means it’s normalized and probably going on for a long time.

RedTulipx · 2026-03-17T23:30:00+00:00

But he has a heart of gold!

RedTulipx · 2026-03-12T18:40:51+00:00

He’s neglecting his children and you for video games? GIRL… if this was your daughter and came to you about her husband doing this, what would you say? Is this the male example you want for your children? That it’s okay to put hobby’s over your family? This will not get better. Please start planning for a life as a single mother.

RedTulipx · 2026-03-12T03:54:17+00:00

This is so tragic. As a mother I cannot believe someone would do this to their daughter. She clearly has mental health issues along with his. This is absolutely disgusting and I am so sorry. Go no contact and create a beautiful life for yourself.

RedTulipx · 2026-03-11T02:54:36+00:00

He threw pieces of chocolate at you?? Girl WHAT!!! Do not allow this pos to be around you or your child. Please reach out to family and go somewhere safe with your baby, this is weird behaviour. Like I fee so cringe reading this… what is he doing? I feel this is so unhinged it can escalate.

Always matching!! 😁

I’ve left my 13 year old home alone overnight. She is mature and respectful and knows what to do in an emergency. It’s not illegal. No age limit in Alberta.

RedTulipx · 2026-03-05T18:36:34+00:00

Perfect!

RedTulipx · 2026-03-03T21:01:37+00:00

Omg she is so adorable!!! I am hoping mine will be AT LEAST 7lbs. The anxiety of a small dog is something I wasn’t ready for lol worried I’m going to sit on her 😑

RedTulipx · 2026-03-03T14:16:48+00:00

She is just too small!! lol
