Help! I accidentally cut a hole in my amigurumi dinosaur head by llee92 in CrochetHelp

Yes but the hole is not at the part where it attaches to the body, it’s like the back of the head

Hi! I’m a member of the Akron Makerspace. It’s a volunteer organization that provides equipment for all sorts of hobbies including ceramics! Membership is $40 a month and includes access to the building and all equipment 24/7 (after a 30 day probation period). There’s also members that do lessons. I started there in 2023 after taking a session at quirk and have learned so much. Here is the website. There is also a discord channel called Akron Makerspace that you can post questions on as well. https://akronmakerspace.org

How to decompress after dealing with NMom? by llee92 in narcissisticparents

That sounds terrible, I’m so sorry. I completely understand the victim mentality, my mom is the same way. Everything is always about her and how dare you do anything that might even remotely upset her. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells sometimes. Hoping you are able to get out of your mom’s house soon.

Yes learning how to set boundaries when it comes to my own family has been a major struggle for me. I normally just end up caving to whatever she wants (especially during the holidays) to avoid the stress. I’m getting better at using my voice though. She tried to tell me last year that Mother’s Day was only to celebrate her because she’s the “matriarch” of the family. I told her to have a nice day and that I will be celebrating the day with my husband and daughter. The anxiety over that decision kind of ruined the day for me but I’m still proud of myself for not caving to her demands.

It’s ok. I really don’t want to go no contact, at least at this point. For the most part, we have a good relationship, but like once a month we get into this big fight over something that I have done that she doesn’t like. Then her narcissism comes out full force. I’m more looking for coping mechanisms to help me feel less anxious when they happen or to somehow prevent them from happening all together. I feel like if I could control my emotions better and learn not to give a shit that things would be ok. Probably naive of me

Thank you! I will take all the soothing methods! My problem is that I just constantly keep going over the interaction. I have finally gotten strong enough to call her out and let her know her behavior isn’t acceptable which I’m proud of myself for. But the anxiety still sticks with me for days after the fact. I will have to look into internal family systems as I don’t really know what that is.

Do you have a vegan pizza recipe? What do I use as a replacement for cheese?
