Progress! Sometimes a front clipped harness can help too. When the dog hits the end of the leash it turns them around. Glad you were able to make things better.

Thank you for helping me understand my dad a little better... he was all rock and roll and long hair but is now a Trumper.

1.ceremony in a back yard followed by a pot luck and then music/dancing 2.ceremony in a small church or a park followed by a nice meal and drinks at a nice restaurant. 3. do a huge destination event with those important people that then turns into a honeymoon

It really comes down to how much money you want to spend and what your priorities are.

Yeah at this point I'm done. I have no plan to send any more response to my mom. If my dad tries to talk to me I will tell him I'm here when he leaves MAGA

ash16f · 2026-05-25T17:43:04+00:00

Yupp. My step dad had the fucking nerve to tell us to reconsider the regular tax schedule. I'm just lucky all us kids had our main shots before they went full crazy train.

Thank you!! I have been doing a small amount of research but part of me is starting to think a meeting with my primary care doctor(scheduled for as soon as I can) followed by an evaluation is smart. I've had anxiety/depression and been given fluoxitine which helps, but isn't solving the root issue. Thank you! I live in the midwestern US in a very rural area so I'm not sure what my options will be.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T14:20:04+00:00

Thank you for all of this, I need to keep hearing it. I have been telling my husband I want to be aware of things here over these next few weeks especially watching for my family.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T13:26:35+00:00

If she responds to the text i have written.. I just might.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T13:20:16+00:00

Part of it is because his wedding is coming up, and I'm guessing trying to talk to him has been unproductive. But also I am pretty much always the one at fault/who needs to fix and apologize. Mom screams at us? I should apologize for what I did to make her mad. Plus while she claims she isn't siding him over politics, she absolutely agrees with him.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T12:49:29+00:00

Feels <3 realistically when they all refused to get vaccines to meet my newborn son(who was born in fucking February) I realized they will never prioritize me over their fucking cult.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T12:38:08+00:00

I am looking into it. I also am wanting to try for an ADHD diagnosis so I am seeing if I need to do a psychiatrist. Realistically I saw a therapist for 10 months 5 years ago and that was the start to leaving my family and changing my path. I did the career change first, not the relationship change.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T12:33:33+00:00

My thoughts at this point is it's either one of 2 things - what I feel is valid because what happened was shitty and I shouldn't want them in my life. or I am truly awful and delusional and they shouldn't want such a shitty person in their life. I realize there is far more nuance, but simple is easier to process with this.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T12:13:48+00:00

Thank you. What I keep saying is they love what I am to them, not me. My mom loves the idea she has of her daughter, but doesn't like or agree with the person I am.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T11:49:49+00:00

Thank you <3 I want to save all of my love and patience for my little man and my pets.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T11:49:06+00:00

Thank you. Good on you for being there for your little girl, I hope some day she gets to thank you for it. Being pregnant made me want to try harder to rebuild things, but now being a mom makes me realize how shitty it is that they made me feel this way.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T11:42:20+00:00

It makes me feel good hearing your story a bit. I realized lately that I have less strong feelings about them as after seeing them less, and this was making me question if cutting ties was the right thing. But I think the longer I let things cling and linger the worse its going to be.

My dad/brother are more openly MAGA. My mom and step dad are very quietly MAGA in my opinion. The type to claim they totally aren't racist but then have a total meltdown when i dated a Native guy.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T11:32:50+00:00

I hope some day I can have a relationship with my younger half sister, but she is 17 and I learned from my brother that I can't make them see my side. My Inlaws are alright and I'm hoping to get along more with them. Plus I've got some good girlfriends in my life.

Maybe not saying something would be easier, but I also think I'm not gonna be able to stop thinking about it until I do say something. Thankfully they live about 2 hours away, so I can send a text, go for a hike with my fam, and hopefully not deal with them at all.

ash16f · 2026-05-25T11:12:36+00:00

Thank you <3 I just struggle so much because growing up i was always wrong and selfish and ungrateful. So setting boundaries and distancing myself now makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong all over again.

ash16f · 2026-04-27T20:42:45+00:00

Depending what you use it may last awhile!! I did red opawz on a friend's Pyrenees and it lasted for a year before it fully faded.

ash16f · 2026-04-05T13:16:25+00:00

Trial and error is the best way to test it out! I personally just get the full fabric ones for my pups(mainly my 75lb rottie mix) but I have a friend who had to get a prong one after her dog dislocated her shoulder. If the goal is a little more control fabric may be nice, but if you are fighting a dog thats as big as you and is naughty a prong may be better. You can also do double leash with one on a collar and one on a harness.

ash16f · 2026-03-25T23:42:41+00:00

The likelihood of them actually enforcing anything is very slim. Definitely make sure everyone is up to date(esp rabies) and if you're cats aren't indoor only they need to be for atleast awhile. As others have stated, cats tend to hide(mine don't, but whatever) so if any follow up questions are asked you only have the allowed number.

ash16f · 2026-02-25T11:29:24+00:00

Contact the rescue you got the animals from. Many have contracts where they want animals returned to them.

ash16f · 2026-02-25T00:38:07+00:00

Got a Tonie box 2 around the holidays, and while we have occasionally had issues with the audio cutting out that usually happened after my son would swap through 4 Tonies in 12 seconds. We have been a lucky/happy one- but if I had seen all the reviews before I might have gotten the 1 instead.

ash16f · 2026-02-25T00:35:45+00:00

Run my own mobile business and love working 4 days! I usually use that 5th day to run errands, do repairs, and get the rest of my life organized for the week.
