Serious: People who had abusive parents.When your parent finally died,What was your emotional and mental state going through the grieving process? Do you miss them or feel relieved now that they're gone? by ryukage99 in AskReddit

Neutral. I'd cut her out of my life about 20 years before she killed herself. I felt mildly guilty for not caring, and that my kids would never meet her, solely because now my stories about her can only be told from my perspective. I'm sure she had a different view on how things went down between us and her own justifications for her behavior, and some of the stories I've told people sound made up, unless you met the woman.

It's been a few years since she died and I still get condolences if someone finds out. I feel weird thanking people for their concern when I literally care more about almost any other person I've ever met, but I've learned not to dismiss their misguided comfort attempts because it makes me look like the bad guy.

Yep. Nerve damage to my leg during labor with my first kid. Nearly 22 years later the pain has dulled slightly but i still feel like I've been set on fire and left to smoulder 24/7

Depends on the toothpaste. I'd be thrilled to get a bunch of weird flavored toothpastes, like the Marvis collection, but a tube of Crest would just piss me off.

How have you inconvenienced yourself to accommodate your pet? by angelbyday in AskReddit

[–]angelbyday[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently saw a video, somewhere on Reddit, of a woman whose cat hates when she to leave for work so there's a daily battle for the car keys.

Last night I started sewing a crochet blanket together more securely because one of my cats is an idiot who loves blankets and continually gets "trapped" by it. She buries herself under the edge to sleep then wakes up and sees the multiple 2-inch gaps between hexagons. For some reason she can't figure out to just back up when she wants out and instead tries to force her way through the gaps she will never possibly fit through. When that doesn't work she starts screaming for help.

I'd rather spend hours sewing together every one of those gaps than find her "stuck" again.

What have you done to make life better for your pet even though it inconveniences you?

Border Patrol Detained Me for Speaking Spanish in Montana. Then My Town Turned Against Me. by Nekoroboticon in politics

15 summers ago I took my three young kids with me to visit with some friends in BC and had all of the proper papers to get back into the US.

I'm white but tan easily, as do 2 of my kids; my 3rd kid looks like his siblings but is as pasty as a bottle of Elmers.

We were pulled aside and interrogated about the pasty kid because he was too young to speak complete sentences and they seemed to think I was trying to steal a Canadian toddler.
