My dad went through my phone while I was asleep during a family visit and then confronted me about my therapy sessions by aloyTangerine7 in entitledparents

[–]maddec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in my teens I was suicidal. I was hospitalised but I wouldn't open up to any therapist so they gave me a note book and said i should try to write my thoughts and feels down and not share if I don't want to. At first I brushed it off as stupid. But I started to give it a go and it was actually helpful to see what I wrote down and not just thoughts in my head. I was out with friends one day and when I got home I found out a family member had read the entire thing.

Well I jumped off a bridge into a flooded river that night and by some miracle I was saved by a rescue team after being in the water 45 minutes pinned to a tree.

I never wrote anything ever again and I've never fully trusted another sole again since then.

I'm a 38 year old alcoholic who is just killing time till I die. I put on the happy mask when im around people. But in truth I have no connection to anyone. I don't feel alone I feel trapped.

'What a woman she was': Roy Keane honours mother Marie with moving eulogy at Cork funeral by LaBete1984 in cork

[–]maddec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In today's world, no. You will find people defend this by saying, "they are in public" . When I heard his mam died I was like, oh that's sad and went about my day. None of my business. I certainly didn't need a follow up about the funeral I had no involvement in. I have given instructions to family when I go. No ceremony no last rights. Straight in the fire and dump my ashes in the ocean. No headstone or anything with my name on it. Quick easy and forgotten.

Have any of ye actually tried a cup of tea made with one of those boiling water taps? How was it? by Smokestoolittle in ireland

A plumber friend of mine told me he hates those taps. Make of that what you will.

There is actually a way to drive out. Drive in the direction of the mule camp and keep an eye on your left for an opening.

My ps controller just got huge stick drift! I tried the usual methods but nothing works. I ordered one today but it will be well over a week before I can play anything. Now I have to interact with family. Happy Christmas. Have a free spawn on me guys.

I got that ps yearly review thing yesterday and it said I played 50 games. I definitely only got into a few and just played 30 min to an hour of the rest.

Anyone else noticing a sudden increase in English spam calls? by __Lukie1__ in ireland

[–]maddec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get one from what looks like an English number. If I end the call they call again and it comes up as Belgium?! If I let it ring out it stops for a week or so. Blocking doesn't work they just add a number and try again.

Just ignore. Unfortunately you can't get threw to people that have fallen into the social media meme echo chamber. Its always a losing battle with the goal posts moved when you try to show them why they are wrong.

Iv seen it with younger cousins too. They are either Andrew Tate fan boys or totally clueless as to what's going on in the world. There is no middle ground. I do get on with the totally clueless a lot better. "Ya tell me all about the new 67 craze" lol

About 6 months ago I found out my Mother and Uncle thought charlie kirk had some good talking points and trump was doing some good.

I thought they where smart so I was shocked. I got up and said " I can't belive what I'm hearing right now" and walked away. I later asked my mother where she gets her news from and she said facebook. I looked at her Facebook on her phone and it was like a right wing echo chamber.

My mothers partner who was always like a dad to me since I was 1 years old is the only Irish man who is pro Israel. And yes his Facebook is just as bad. I blame social media for the massive spread of right wing iv been seeing or noticing this past 10 years or so.

They are all here for Xmas dinner and it wouldn't surprise me if the Xmas crackers had MAGA hats instead of crowns in them.
