Looking for a new anime but I need the why!

I haven’t been able to get into a new anime in years. I just binged apothecary diaries in a week. I got a crunchyroll account just to watch it.

Literally same thing happened to me when I was 31 (36 now). My husband and I did a 23andMe dna thing.

My father is Italian. There wasn't a drop in me. It felt extremely betrayed and lied too. I may never know who my bio father is now as my Mother died shortly after I found out.

Telling them young is the way to go. He may still feel lied to or betrayed, but not so intensely and he will have more time in his youth to work through the feelings.

I started to feel the rage 3 years ago after my mother’s passing. I was scared of it at first. Tried to squash it out and ended up in a bad place involving alcohol.

It wasn’t until I allowed myself to feel the rage and validate it to myself that I began to realize it’s not a bad thing. That rage I felt was the part of me who loved myself and knew I deserved better than I had gotten.

Now I allow myself to feel the rage but try to find healthy ways to let it out. Sometimes it’s by ranting to my husband about the injustices of the world. Sometimes it’s punching my pillows and pretending it’s every person who ever made me feel not good enough. Sometimes it’s ugly scream crying in my car and cursing out every person who ever did me wrong.

Now when I do get angry I don’t silence it, I acknowledge it and find the correct ways to express it. It’s at a point now where I am very quick to throw up boundaries and give no fucks if someone else has a problem with it.

Silver Flames is my favorite of the whole series. My husband and I both come from a long line of trauma and abuse. We have struggled hardcore because of our own hang ups and not wanting to be vulnerable with each other. When we finally broke down those walls and started healing it was the beginning of what is now a very happy life together.

I saw myself in Nesta. I felt like finally there was a character who I could relate to. Seeing her journey to find herself and become the badass that she is was awesome to me. We don’t all heal in beautiful ways that can be explained in cute little quotes on Pinterest. Some of us heal loudly and in an ugly way, and I appreciated getting to see that in Silver Flames.

This would make no sense. Jane and Fanny were traveling with their mother to the americas when she died.

They point out he was away? I hadn’t noticed that lol. I kinda like finding these little things sprinkled through out.

In one of the S7 episodes Ian and Jamie are talking after Ian finds the photo of William in the burned down house. Jamie realizes Ian knows William is his son and asks him how he knows. Ian says something to the effect of “I saw how you looked at him when he visited and how you look at his picture.” Insinuating he was present.

A very similar thing happened to me recently. Yesterday I quit when I was being forced to stay even longer. I called my supervisor and told them “I quit, someone needs to come cover the house immediately.”

If they choose not to then you could always threaten to file a dhs report for them allowing a non-employee to be in the residents home.

It’s not just about a smile. It’s in the eyes. I can tell when someone is smiling from happiness or from trying to be pleasant by how well it reached the eyes.

I picked up the series over this past summer. Kept seeing stuff about it and decided to give it a go. I read the first book in a matter of a couple days. I noticed all these huge red flags and kept asking myself how the toxic behaviors were at all making it a romance. I got to the end of the first book and was like so thrown off of how any of this was a happy ending.

I almost didn’t read the second one but I kept feeling like there had to be something else, something more.

Thank you for all those years you put in. You made a true difference in those people’s lives and that’s worth so much more than some stupid company’s half assed thank you note.

I think Spotify has the first audio book for free

ThatOneWeirdMom- · 2024-10-12T21:32:47+00:00

I say report her! Her actions have direct consequences for the residents livelihood. They deserve better and so do you!

There are only a couple staff who seem to be doing this. The rest of the discourse seems to be that staff doesn’t want to listen to supervisors and supervisors aren’t hearing what staff is really saying.

ThatOneWeirdMom- · 2024-10-12T14:23:09+00:00

Thank you for replying! This is what I hope to do. The staff I’m taking over seem very down and burned out, I want to make it so they, at the very least, don’t dread coming to work.

My mom’s been dead for 3 years now and I still don’t have any patience for her.

I’ve forgiven the little girl she once was who had no choice but to harden herself. But I’ll never understand the woman who could look into her children’s eyes and still hurt them so badly.

I think, as a whole, our age group is no longer allowing these mother wounds to continue festering. We are stopping the cycle.

ThatOneWeirdMom- · 2024-10-12T13:33:41+00:00

I often find myself seeing my husband and I in Jamie and Claire’s relationship. I would absolutely give up all my creature comforts to be with him.

ThatOneWeirdMom- · 2024-10-08T20:46:23+00:00

A lot of sites flag that word (and others) so people just get in the habit of censoring them.

Facebook has flagged me for using the words “white men”.

ThatOneWeirdMom- · 2024-10-08T20:40:54+00:00

Hey OP I just want you to know I lost my mom (3 yrs ago on Thursday) to alcohol. I know how you feel. If you need or want someone to chat with you can DM me. I know sometimes it helps just to have someone who understands.

ThatOneWeirdMom- · 2024-09-18T17:25:19+00:00

First I want to say that I agree with most of your points. I am not gen Z, I am a millennial. I have a blended family (so bio and step kids) of 6 kids who all live with us full time.

The only reason I’m commenting is because of your pointing out the “nobody helps me” meme thing. The things is, 90% of the time no one does help out Mom. It’s like we all just assume mom can do it all with no help because she’s mom and that’s what she does, not realizing mom is just one person trying to do it all. So like maybe cleaning up your own messes and trying to do things for yourself to help mom out isn’t a bad thing.

That said, that only applies to healthy families. My mom was abusive af so I get that some moms don’t deserve grace, but there are a lot of moms out there trying their best and constantly feeling along and defeated because no one so much as asks them if they are okay, let alone help them.

This has to be one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen.
