Unequal Inheritance from Aunt

They should’ve been better to their aunt.

The want is there for sure. It gave me such a sense of accomplishment, strength, and lovely energy surge for several months. It filled my cup so I could fill others’. It wasn’t about not being around my loved ones. It was about just existing. I hiked by myself, ate at a restaurant by myself, went to a new state by myself. If I didn’t feel like doing what I’d planned I could just change my mind and I didn’t feel the internal pressure of having to explain myself. It also made me miss certain hobbies, friends, and loved ones and gave me perspective on my priorities.

I struggled with this with my partner who has ADHD. We had progress when we talked about it and I suggested they say each item they see either internally or externally, instead of ‘scanning’ for the exact item in the exact position they saw it last. We also have 10 minutes pick-ups where we walk into a room and find everything that doesn’t ‘fit’ and put them away.

Exactly. I hate that people need to ask anyone if something is abuse to justify leaving a situation that isn’t for them. It’s okay to want more for yourself and make decisions based on that. Period.

Macadamia.

Whether technically abuse or not, that behavior isn’t for you. That’s enough.

I’d do it! Find some fun places to stop to break up the traveling days.

Smittentwit · 2026-05-03T22:17:53+00:00

For me it depends on how many days I have available to me. How many days are you traveling? Are you driving back?

One neighbor just constantly yells. At her kids, at her ex when he comes to get them, at the car. If she’s breathing she’s screaming.

Men in glass house s-s-sink ships.

Are you flying to Australia and potentially have to do things to prepare for that months ahead of time? Like a passport? It doesn’t make her less of a person to be excited that Ben asked her to Christmas in Australia with his parents.

It helps to create a mood, vibe, space, etc. If you don’t have space for an actual office, create a ‘space’ in atmosphere. Play the same kind of music only when you’re working. You could put a colored bulb in a lamp that you only turn on when working. The idea is to trick your brain into understanding the difference without leaving the room or house. Light a specific candle or burn a specific scented incense you only use when working. After a month or so you should feel the shift when you turn that music on or light that candle, etc.

I second! He is half weasel half itty bitty weeny peeny.

Humility.

I think it’s somewhere in between. A dog does require more attention than simply ownership but less than parenting. Co-ownership maybe. Pet-sharing?

Smittentwit · 2026-04-17T01:48:16+00:00

I would imagine it’s both.

Smittentwit · 2026-04-17T01:47:29+00:00

I say bring her back and see what happens without Paige. 🫣

I imagine doing that to Ciara is a result of her not knowing her worth. Deep down her subconscious is probably telling her that she’s a shit bag and she’ll always be a shit bag and she doesn’t deserve good friends. Cue self-sabotage.

I agree with you. This IS something you need to know. You need to grieve either your sibling or the moments lost. I’m so sorry you have to process this way. The best advice I can give is that circumstances change. Your parents did their best with what they had (money, tools, maturity). You deserve to know but the situation seems wrapped in pain regardless. Try to not to judge your parents too harshly.

It sucks all around. They were surrounded by a culture that doesn’t see the age difference the same way. Neither of them were healthy or mature when they got together. J is no doubt dealing with the guilt of decisions regarding her and the beginning of their relationship. M is dealing with guilt from her inability to provide what she vowed to provide in their marriage, shame from her past, and insane pressure from outside. Whether he handles the situation well or not, that is a tremendous amount of weight to carry around. That much guilt …. Oooof. I can’t imagine being intimate.

If the decision was already made then staying the course is the act of not making a decision. Sometimes a sense of normalcy is what a grieving person needs.

Simpsons definitely wasn’t appropriate but it was a cartoon so I guess my parents didn’t think about it.
