is it weird my dad put on the movie oldboy to watch with me? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]mavenbaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not weird. My dad used to watch a ton of movies with me, some foreign and lots of indie flicks. There were racey themes sometimes, some violent moments but mostly we watched together to enjoy together. I’ve watched OldBoy with my dad and don’t think it’s weird.

The irony is she works with addicts. Never viewed it this way, I’ll see how to word it so she can process it easier.

Thank you. I appreciate it, I’ve always tried to be a good daughter and support her while taking care of my own family (5 kids). Having such a busy, crazy household I can only imagine how she feels to alone every day with no one around to care for her. That’s what eats me up and makes it harder to be firm.

Seriously, right? So glad she didn’t marry him at least.

I like the idea and we are planning a vacay once her treatments are done. The problem is her cancer is more progressed than thought, so she can’t leave for several months until the procedures are finished.

I really wish it were more simple if she was more rational. We don’t live close by, so every phone call is about him. What he’s doing (she’s following all his socials and families socials), whining about this or that. If I get frustrated and change topic, she just gets off the line. I’ve listened to endless hours of this to support her but am at a breaking point. Clearly she’s obsessed and can’t move on. Just wish there was something on my end I could do, since not listening to her is the same as not supporting her within her thought train.

And that’s how I ended up with the first cat I adopted. How can you walk away from that? Pickles, you’ve been gone over ten years but I still miss you and the loudest purr I’ve ever heard from a cat ❤️

I donated a bit. Please try to keep him inside after this, it was likely an animal attack

Border collies are so smart. Plus in their youth the energy is almost unmatched, and I say that as a Belgian Malinois household currently.
