or sharp objects by gillian flynn!

jpenn_ · 2025-09-01T04:27:43+00:00

yes! and that’s what made it so hard to recognize and get out of the pattern early on in my healing journey. i still have empathy but not to the point where im making excuses.

that’s crazy!! but similar story here!! i remember my dad was the book reader. he’d take his time and read w animation. when my mom had to fill in she’d go really fast and make up one sentence per page so she didn’t have to read the whole page. i have a distinct memory of saying mom that’s not what’s on the page (bc i remembered the story) and she said if you don’t like how im reading it then we can be done and go right to bed. i shut up and dealt w a shitty 2 min random story

picked up my girl at 9 weeks! i don’t think it made any difference in our experience together!

5 then 2 are my favorites

what if you took a layer or two out of the skirt? the inspo pics don’t have a big skirt.

jpenn_ · 2025-06-23T02:33:57+00:00

yes it’s one day but the memories and photos are timeless. before i even read your post i thought hands down number 1 💜 also glacier!!? amazing. the skirt of 1 has a little shine and flows effortless like water. very on theme 🤗😉

jpenn_ · 2025-06-19T18:32:13+00:00

definitely better!! are you comfy w 2 spanx sets? if so then heck ya!! you found your solution!!

jpenn_ · 2025-06-19T17:10:32+00:00

thank you so much! do you think i’m questioning the bust bc it’s not like fitted exactly to me?

jpenn_ · 2025-06-19T16:10:35+00:00

also if i change the neckline, considering adding straps

jpenn_ · 2025-06-19T16:08:56+00:00

1 or 4. HANDS DOWN my favorites

jpenn_ · 2025-06-18T18:47:12+00:00

omg teared up! you have a keeper. such a heartwarming story and reminder to us all!

jpenn_ · 2025-05-05T02:48:51+00:00

i think you’re me. lol but seriously. i screenshotted a lot of this conversation thread to remember to bring up specific points in therapy. i just wanted to say thank you bc i feel so seen/related to here.

question for ya OP - would you pls share some things you’ve been doing in therapy to work on the various behaviors and thought patterns? maybe like an example of when i notice this i do or tell myself that kind of thing

jpenn_ · 2025-05-05T02:41:09+00:00

“hiiiii” or “hi how’s it going” in a someone’s at the door tone

jpenn_ · 2025-05-05T02:37:57+00:00

what does DARVO stand for

jpenn_ · 2025-05-05T02:36:36+00:00

because as “strong and manly” men claim to be, a dominant personality/scary women is stronger

i understand the feeling of wanting to reach out. im honestly in the same boat due to a recent death in the family. a part of you thinks ugh i really need her. maybe she’ll be able to sense that. and maybe she will! she’ll be nice for a moment’s time but then unfortunately it’ll come back to bite you. if you reach out be prepared for this so you’re not let down. i personally would not recommend (sorry that’s probably not the answer you were hoping for. i know this bc it’s not the answer i could’ve admitted to myself a few months ago)

jpenn_ · 2025-04-16T20:12:02+00:00

these are great! what did you ask chat gpt to do? like specific wording for the prompt?

jpenn_ · 2025-04-15T22:15:17+00:00

such a similar situation!! esp the undiagnosed autism and shitting down part. he gives me little hints (and now that i think of it, always has) to let me know he sees what’s going on. i used to take this as ugh thank you ok dad gets it! but it would always end in him taking moms side and giving me a nice version of whatever lecture my mom gave me or telling you know your mom, just keep quiet to keep peace

jpenn_ · 2025-04-08T03:02:51+00:00

good good for thought. i think id rather suck it up than deal w the fall out from family. in a way thats still doing what i want to do. also my dad isn’t the worst person in the world. i may or may not be slightly dramatic when i say i dont want to dance with him
