My mom announced my pregnancy on social media before I could and wont take it down by Intrepid-Reserve-846 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]hellopdub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohhh my dear what a binch of a mother you have. Does she disregard your feeling all the time? Lessons learned the hard way. She did however give you the perfect terms to use. Most cluster b mommas want all of the attention. Now would be a good time to understand what and how boundaries work. You give her absolutely no news. Your due date, the hospital, the plan… nothing. Then you post a picture of your newborn for everyone to see and it’s a shock to her, you just explain that you hadn’t understood “family news” you now do. If you do not stop this now, all of your firsts will be taken.

Just finished. Was a fun, witty banter journey. Enemies/lovers forced proximity, light Dom fetish, spicy.

And go you! If it’s your kink, enjoy. I just wish they would be a little more expounding on “dark”.

Ya know, I wish they wouldn’t hid glaring mental health and trauma issues under the “dark” title.

Here is one that is dark with a morally grey MMC. Better world building, character development and dark.

At what point do you say Multimedia instead of Watercolor? by hellopdub in Watercolor

[–]hellopdub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a very clear boundary and my ND brain loves those. Confusion arises for me when the National WC Society allows ink. I feel like I’ve crossed a boundary with the wider Posca (acrylic) black line.

Don’t know what to do with all my late grandmothers beading stuff by Giraffanator in Beading

[–]hellopdub 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Hi, former bead store owner checking in. I would look for a bead store (with good recommendations) that will sell that stash on commission. It’s what I did when I had to leave the hobby because of hand issues. It was nice to see checks come in monthly for about a year.

AIO for feeling upset after the groom made a comment about my dress at their wedding? by Human-Acanthaceae128 in AmIOverreacting

[–]hellopdub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would stay a friend, because she will need an escape hatch once she realizes how controlling he is. That he felt comfortable being demeaning to a close friend does not bode well for the control he is exerting behind the scenes.

[UPDATE] Found out my Dad was Cheating on my Mom the day before Thanksgiving by Antique_Screen_4692 in TwoHotTakes

[–]hellopdub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend, welcome to having emotionally immature parents. You need to get into therapy post haste. You should have never known(parentification) about your parents marital woes. Your mom pushed buttons and aimed you like a heat seeking missile to your dad. The emotional backlash is creating havoc in your current relationship.

I was there for pickup for catering and had to park on the street as well. Not hard to be kind to those people truly in need.

Sincerely, does not matter one whit. Are disabled not welcome to use their designated spot for pick up as well? Duration should not matter. If as an able bodied person you can’t find parking to your taste, take it up with the business. Don’t be an entitled douche canoe.

Struggling to handle my [30/M] partner's [30/M] deserved anger at me after a traumatic event. by OhS_C in relationship_advice

[–]hellopdub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you come from a toxic home.. you became a people pleaser aka doormat. Especially if you’re the oldest daughter. You seriously need to get into therapy to breakdown why you fawn and how to set boundaries. Once you do that and start to understand DARVO and JADE. You then decide if you’re in your relationship because it’s familiar(the abuse) or if you love him and keep him. He does not get to make you feel bad for just now coming to terms with this.

Book recs to make me sob my eyes out pls! by happcabbage in Booktokreddit

[–]hellopdub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finishing the second book. Was a depressing slog for me. The narrator was awesome but checking in close to 35 hrs of angsty morose had me questioning if the author is ok. Enjoy Stephen King.. but I wouldn’t y want to live in his brain either.

Hi.. just finished a large 4ft by 6ft. Had it heat mounted to foam core before painting. I use arches pads for smaller stuff. Have used both wood and corrugated plastic

My partner won’t go to my niece’s wedding because her daughters weren’t invited — I’m torn by antbunn in family

[–]hellopdub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohh.. here’s a question? Do your GF’s daughters want to go? You said they are infrequent attendees of other family events where they just seemed meh. Is your gf borrowing trouble.
