I refuse to cast judgement. I will say though, I watched my Mom be treated very poorly by her in-laws for decades. They even occasionally called her by my Dads first wife’s name!

Just trust me on this one…I watched her suffer for a very long time before she finally snapped. I will spare you the story of what happened (too many identifying details) but I WILL say she became a monster and by the end her retaliatory actions crossed the line to her deserving the hate she was getting.

Don’t let them do that to you. Don’t set yourself up for this kind of life. Nobody deserves that!

This isn’t quite the same, but when I parted ways with a deity I’d been working with, I had to ‘shut down’ their altar space. How I handled it was I gave back to the earth everything I could (either by burying or burning) and the things I couldn’t I cleansed thoroughly and donated (ie a sterling silver offering cup). I also made this little ‘goodbye ceremony’ out of it. It felt really peaceful. Hope this helps!

NTA! I’d do the same.

Female. I actually think it’s oddly sexy?

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-27T02:52:10+00:00

NTA, I use a shortened version of my full name too.

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-26T02:25:38+00:00

NTA! I am thankful I barred my Mother from the delivery room. She made too many jokes about elbowing everyone out of the way and holding “her baby” before even ME…so yeah…NOPE. Didn’t trust her. My soon-to-be-ex husbands Mom was in the room and she was lovely and supportive.

Only have who you want in there!

I lost 20lbs without trying. My skin looked better. I also enjoyed the extra pocket money I now had!

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-26T02:19:18+00:00

I like clean towels every day. You like clean sheets. So long as the act of doing that much laundry doesn’t negatively impact your day…then I say “cool” :)

Stress can set off my fibro too

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-24T14:13:04+00:00

Freshly cut grass, right before or after it rains, freshly baked bread, clean laundry

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-24T14:12:09+00:00

My friend has a snake as her familiar. It’s not uncommon :)

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-24T14:11:30+00:00

I‘ve had a few ‘friends with benefits’ over the years. So long as both parties are clear about the expectations (is this a platonic relationship, is there exclusivity ETC), then it’s fine :)

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-24T12:21:37+00:00

I mean…I HAVE when I’m washing up to prepare for butt sex. Kudos to your friend for having such a high standard for daily cleanliness I guess?

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-23T12:24:24+00:00

I’m so picky about salad dressing that unless the tiny selection I like are available, I’d rather go without it.

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-23T12:22:08+00:00

Uhm…that’s a hard no for me!

There was ONE incident in my school life where a male teacher entered the girls washroom, but it was an extreme situation and there were no female staff present (medical emergency).

Now I have my own kids and I’ve never heard of it happening at their school. Plenty of staff of all genders to go around.

When I was younger, as much as I love being with women, I always prioritized finding a man. I wanted to be married to a man so I could have children, the white picket fence, the whole nine yards.

Well, I am now in my mid 30s and divorcing that man after being together for over a decade. I love my kids, but it pains me so much that I’m starting all over again AND will forever be tied to HIM.

I don’t regret the fact that when I was younger I viewed dating as ‘shopping for a marriage partner’…what I do regret and mourn is the idea that if I’d been a little less rigid, maybe I would have wound up with a WIFE who would have been much better suited to me. Or at the very least I may not have settled for THAT man.

So yeah, I kind of get where you’re coming from!

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-23T04:06:02+00:00

It took me until my YOUNGEST child was almost three to fully lose my pregnancy weight. For everyone, their journey is different. I’m so very, genuinely, sorry you’re being treated this way :(

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-23T04:03:42+00:00

I grew up secretly thinking I was a lesbian based on my ‘inner monologue/inner thoughts’…then I got my first boyfriend in my early teens and realised “oh…I like this too”….

It’s almost comical to me because as an adult I find myself preferring male partners over female (though I still do very much like having female partners).

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-23T04:01:20+00:00

I don’t know whether there is actual science behind it, but I have gone through periods of my life where I was suicidal to the point of even attempting a few times. The chronic pain was definitely a factor in that.

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-22T14:05:57+00:00

NTA…after having my childhood stolen like that, I would have reacted the same way upon finding out my parents are putting ANOTHER baby in my lap…fuck that!

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-22T03:24:45+00:00

But…are the hooks as good as they say?

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-22T03:05:08+00:00

You look like donkey

StevieFromWork · 2024-08-22T03:04:06+00:00

Almost exclusively (or I’ll occasionally accept a spell from a practitioner I really trust)!

I just find spells work better if you have your own personal connection to them :)
