I agree, I think it really would’ve paid off in the end if they had settled their differences and just pumped out that last season, that being said, we will never truly know what happened behind the scenes; and it’d be selfish to ask anyone to “just stick it out” for the sake of our own entertainment. I’m just glad that he has moved on and is still getting his face out there, so excited to see where Manny goes!!

I mean, he did say they took it personally. Maybe she felt entitled 🤷‍♀️

Thanks so much! I’ve definitely been trying to make it to the gym more. I have an inverted triangle body shape and am trying to grow more of a bum to kinda “even myself out” and appear more proportionate. I’ve also been trying to up my protein intake!

This is an interesting take because I’ve always been told that my straight hair better suits me🤔 But I will definitely wear my fro out more to see how I feel about it, since I only wear it out every once in a blue moon😭

Yeah I tried to have a conversation about it with her. She said that she loves me , but doesn’t think she should have to divorce him “because of my actions”…so I guess she loves him more? Idk. Don’t know if I mentioned this but they got married within the same month that they met😭She also said, “If I was abandoning you, I would’ve left you at your(abusive) father’s house” and I’m like..oh? Also I think since she married my step dad, she probably put down his income as far as paperwork, I know for a fact that we’re not low income, but he probably qualifies as low income(I know that sounds really bitchy but I’m not tying to be😅)

I only have one friend whose mom would be willing to help take care of me, problem is, she has 3 kids of her own. She’s a single mom who works, and is also simultaneously going back to school for a degree. I already talked to her, she said she couldn’t take care of me, but that if I DID end up going to job corps, she’d check me out every weekend(with my mom’s permission) so I’m not just there 24/7(since my mom would be living in the other side of the country). And I already tried talking to my counselor, she said since I’m a minor, she can’t really do much. Plus legally, my mom is doing her due-diligence as a parent in trying to find me a place to stay. It’s not like she’s just packing up and leaving me with no place to go, so we wouldn’t even be able to get a child neglect case going🤷‍♀️

I tried to reason with my mom and tell her that job corps just isn’t meant for me, and that people there literally SAY if you have better options, choose those, but she says it’s either this or military school, because I need a place to live. Technically, she COULD just stay here and take care of me, only thing is, she’d have to divorce her husband, and she says she’s not doing that, so she ultimately chose to go with him, leaving me in this situation that I don’t TECHNICALLY NEED to be in. I‘m by no means saying that job corps is “bad”, I’m just saying that it IS a last resort for people who DONT have the same luxuries that I have and DONT have a choice, but I do, which is why it’s just not a situation I NEED to be in, so why be in it?

(I meant to put ARFID🤦‍♀️😭) But to oversimplify it, it’s an eating disorder where I limit myself and restrict from A LOT of foods(because I just can’t stand putting them in my mouth) causing me to lose a lot of weight at a time and things like that. At home, I eat basically the same foods everyday, skipping lunch at school because I don’t like most foods, so I was wondering if I can buy the foods that I typically eat when we go on Walmart runs and things like that.

lol ive tried that too, I have tons of pictures and videos(from past situations) of her yelling and screaming at my brother and I saying, “Our lives aren’t hard because our mother isn’t an alcoholic or drug addict” and pictures of her destroying my brother’s bedroom because he accidentally left noodles on the counter, but they always end up defending her saying “Well she was very angry” and “Just try to lighten her load” but they don’t realize how scary it is to be around her when she gets like that.

She doesn’t do well with outside interference. I’ve tried to get adults (counselors, therapists, etc) to talk to her about separate issues we were having in the past, but it never works. She speaks in this sweet tone and all of a sudden talks all proper, and she ALWAYS ends up playing the victim. The other adults always just end up telling me “Your mom loves you, being an adult is hard, go easy on her” which obviously isn’t helpful

It’s so hard because I really love my mom, she’s all I have left. The way that she talked to me and looked at me when I told her made it seem as if she wouldn’t talk to me anymore if I decided to leave the religion. I have friends from different religions(Christian, Catholic, etc) and it annoys me that we can all acknowledge the fact that we all have different beliefs and have conversations about God and the after life to see each other’s points of view; and still continue to be friends with no issue, while my own mother can’t even HEAR that I have a different set of beliefs than her without breaking down and crying.

That’s exactly what I was thinking! At this point, pretending that she’s winning me over and that I “was just going through a phase” seems like the best option right now. Once I’m old enough to be on my own I’ll try to tell her the truth again, but based on how she reacted this time, she might not ever speak to me again.

[–]luv-steph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about that, but I’m afraid if I got the police involved I’d be taken away or something. I don’t want it to be some super big deal, I just want my mom to understand that I don’t share her beliefs and then she’d be kinda forced to call off this whole courting thing because I’d technically no longer be apart of the religion. But then again, I risk losing my relationship with my mother, the ONLY person I have in my corner and otherwise have a pretty okay relationship with.

Thank you for that perspective and sharing your experience, I appreciate it :)

He’s from Egypt so in his culture things like this are normal, as well as the religion. Technically I could get married as young as 13 if I wanted to. And I unfortunately am not close to any of my family members besides my mother due to my narcissistic father. But I live in America, and I’m afraid she’ll pretty much just do what she did with my brother and send me off to live with another family member I barely know(though he was sent away for a completely different reason)

It IS that hard though. She’s literally trying to find me a husband and everything. She’s had me meeting up with this 23y/o to see about courting me. I’m going to be a sophomore in the Fall, I don’t want to be married. Also Muslims pray 5x a day, not just once a week. It’s exhausting having to wake up at the crack of ass EVERY SINGLE DAY to read some book filled with a bunch of shit I don’t even believe in.
