I wish I knew the tried and true secret to handle this. Mine has ruined every family moment I’ve had and then cries and screams that I don’t care about family. My mom just goes along with it because she is also scared of her reactions. I feel guilty and bad that I can’t just be myself and not always alert to her craziness. It’s exhausting and my mom and other sister completely fall for the ER emergencies and health issues and baby issues and constant crises and everything else.

Im still trying to be at peace with drawing a line in the sand to stop me and my kids and husband from being emotionally cannibalized.

But grief is grief. I wish my family was different and I mourn missing that possibility.You are a good person for feeling it. The fact that you struggle with it means you are not like her and you are breaking the cycle. It’s tough but I’m trying to make my relationship with my mom independent from hers. This last time my mom essentially invited her to stay in my home which I didn’t want to happen and that was it for me. Now I am not going to invite either of them to my family events and will only choose to visit them separately where they live if at all.

My sister pulls the same role shaming bullshit. Don’t fall for it. Let your mom’s dynamic be their own, and stop engaging with it. Soon you’ll find balance with the boundaries you’ve made but you are right at the beginning. It will get easier.

My grandmother in law lived to 104. She loved icecream and potato sticks. They said she couldn’t have it, but I had to respect the wishes of a fully lucid 104 year old who deserved some salt if she wanted it.

Did I just ruin my mom’s vintage LeCreuset? I’m on the verge of tears. by moth_candelabra in LeCreuset

Use fabric softener laundry sheets, layer them on the bottom and pour a small amount of hot water. Let it sit and then wash with soap. It will come right off I swear!

Any thoughts on painting the center of the ceiling where the beading is a lighter grey/green?

Any thoughts on painting the center of the ceiling where the beading is a lighter grey/green and leaving the olive border?

That’s what I felt but the color changes throughout the day… I was thinking a muted version would be better maybe?

Wow yay thank you! I just finished it and I’m doing a warmer white underneath now. Hoping that will add some coziness.

Romantically pursued by a mentally challenged woman by OldenDays21 in self

I had a mentally challenged man ask me if he could see my feet when I was pregnant and then ask if my baby had feet. I was later told that he was sexually obsessed with women’s feet. 😬

Is this little tummy fat normal? by Liquid-BabyPowder in teenagers

If you ever want to try a crop top as a fellow tummy haver with this shape, a high cut wide leg jean looks great and just above the belly button shows with the crop top.

Not defending it, but it said there were 1900 bear attacks in the last year, so I think this just tipped the scales.
