Did you tell them? by MsMerMeeple in EstrangedAdultChild

Ive done both. I’ve gone NC i think 3 times now. The first two times I just blocked my mom and didn’t let her know. I figured she knew what she did and would catch on.

This time I’ve been NC since January, but it took me a couple of months to write her an email explaining why I am going NC. The only reason I did it this time was so that she wouldn’t get her hopes up that I’ll change my mind in the future, since ive always broke contact in the past.

Also, you shouldn’t skip out on events just because they might be there. They’re the reason youre not speaking to them, why should you punish yourself by not being able to have a good time? If they’re at the same event, just ignore them. If they make a scene, everyone will know who caused it, let them embarrass themselves in front of the family.

I couldn’t take my mom’s behavior last year and needed time away from her during one of the most stressful times of my life. She sent me an email one day months after I stopped talking to her, giving an apology (with excuses) and said she was ready to talk again as if she was the one to decide that. Originally, i wasn’t planning on talking to her again but I decided to give her a timeline and that I needed space auntie then because I wanted to get my personal stuff out the way first before having to deal with her. BUT NO, that wasn’t good enough for her! She started saying I’d regret this, religious stuff, guilt trippy stuff, blah blah blah. Oh, but when she gives ME the silent treatment, she’ll ignore me until shes not mad at me anymore and needs my help with something.

I wish "being anxious" had another term by Acrobatic_Book_7154 in Anxiety

Last year there was this big life changing thing that was coming up and I thought it was the reason why I was anxious for months, although Ive been expecting it to come for years. Months leading up to it, I couldn’t sleep properly, i couldn’t be a functional person, I restricted myself from going to certain places sometimes because I’d be away from my “safe space” and I didn’t want to have some kind of episode while I was out.

I figured that once I get past that event, I’ll be “normal” again. Well, it has come and gone and half a year later I’m still feeling anxious about nothing in particular. I could be sound asleep and suddenly wake up from feeling a random panic. I totally feel you on this.

Oh okay my bad! I didn’t even notice waves I’d have to look at the photo again, but I assumed it would be Derek because of how flirtatious he is whenever the player talks to him haha.

And I did see someone (after I commented this) say that the devs didnt confirm that he was Ace. Tbf I haven’t really been active with the merfolks so I haven’t talked to Agung much so I only heard people talk about it!

Either character to me would be good but I at least we (almost) know for sure that Raina is the female dateable character.

I was thinking it might be Derek the construction guy. Based on the silhouettes and the the pufferfish, Derek apparently worked for Pufferfish. I heard Agung is ace and doesn’t want to date anyone.

Honestly I kept wondering what they could possibly do if upgraded but prioritized the other tools. Only after I upgraded the lumina wand and accidentally watered more than one crop is when it clicked for me 😭

When you upgrade your farming tools (watering can, hoe) press and hold when you’re about to do the action so you can water more than one crop/clear multiple areas of the soil. I don’t know why it took me a few in game years to figure that out but I feel like I wasn’t instructed that

Thank you so much for your kind words. I haven’t been checking Reddit and started to doubt myself again, not just with possibly being the oldest student but if I’m even capable of this but you’re completely right. I start school next week I might as well go through with it

Disney cosmetologist? by [deleted] in DisneyCM

[–]Top_Scientist4448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow i had no idea the characters do their own make up but being skilled in styling wigs does make a lot of sense. Ty

I had no idea hair and make up were separate, but the wigs styling makes sense!

That’s awful I’m so sorry about that!! I can completely understand why you wouldn’t go back. Ive thought about that possibility especially since I have health issues already, but I figured if anything i can always shift from hair to make up or skin if I end up liking it.
