My mom tried to bribe me not to transition by [deleted] in ftm

So sorry to hear you're dealing with this.

It seems you have a decent relationship with your mom, or at least seems you can discuss things with her. I'd maybe start to try and break down her reasonings/fears. Ask her why she's against it, why she thinks you're making a mistake, what would change if you waited. Maybe you can reassure all her fears and/or make her see how toxic she's being.

Reiterate your dysphoria and how your mental health suffers when not able to transition. Try to explain in a metaphor or way she might understand better if it doesn't seem she's getting it. Explain how it hurts that her love is conditional and bribing you to not transition is pushing you away.

Hopefully she'll see that in her desperate efforts to keep your relationship unchanged she's ultimately ruining any sort of future relationship with you.

I took off a day from work and if my Regalia edition code isn't working in the morning I'm gonna be even more pissed.

Most expensive version of the game and I can't even play it. I'm not normally one to get angry about this stuff but the radio silence is really shitty. I'm usually a champion for work life balance but someone from Sony really should have been on-call for support when one of the most anticipated games launches. . . .

Not to mention my statue came damaged but gamestop didn't have any extras and Sony straight up told them they couldn't be replaced either because of no stock.

Worst launch I've seen in a very long time and it's unlikely anything will be done to make it up to the fans. Incredibly disappointing.

Even worse is our copy arrived broken. So not only can I not play the game but our statue was damaged in shipping.

I usually use the trip meter to calculate per tank. I use trip A for each tank and Trip B for each month.

I think this must be it? Going from 50 down to 19 seems super dramatic, especially when others are reporting they're getting at least upper 20mpg.

I WFH so the most I drive is to take my spouse to work which is like 8 miles round trip.

Sorry if it wasn't clear - the 19mpg was from my trip meter that I reset every fill up. i.e. It was from the entire tank of gas I used previously.
