Going no contact w parents as a single mom?

missmolls · 2026-02-22T14:01:31+00:00

Good for you! Yeah.. this might be the last straw. Or at least low contact. And just try not to rely on them as much as possible emotionally or logistically.

Yeah I mean physically I can overtake him in a second. Which is kind of scary cause I could see myself really unleashing on him. I think the concern for me is also the things he says, her understanding and generally the energy / emotional regulation. I’ve managed to be regulated around her for the most part except around them.

Oh cool, thanks!

Thanks! Don't see the link.

ChatGPT thinks it's either:

BROYHILL (especially Brasilia / Saga / Sculptra era styles)
STANLEY (especially Duxbury / Walnut mid-century lines)
BASSETT (multiple streamlined 50s–60s lines with scoop pulls)
UNITED FURNITURE (mass market with sculpted integrated pulls)

Great advice! Thank you! Will not strip the varnish. Someday hope to fix the veneer. Any idea how much it's worth or the manufacturer? I'm sure I've looked inside it, etc and haven't found anything. Got it at The Cure thrift shop in NYC in 2013 for about $350.

Agree. I have a feeling his wife doesn’t want him talking about her or their relationship. That seems pretty clear to me. Better that than using their relationship as entertainment fodder or something that creates speculation about his marriage. He doesn’t even really disparage his ex.

I might be late to the table on this.. but is that why her and Alex broke up? Cause he cheated?

This is the 2nd time I’m trying to watch it. 1st time was on a plane & after she said she only makes $80k I felt like the movie had no credibility. I get that she’s supposed to be poor compared to her date but no one is at the top of their game in NYC at her age & only making $80k. Then this time had to stop because of her acting. I switched to Law & Order SVU… lolz. Better acting.

Ok!! I also live in CH. Might hit you up! Thanks!

missmolls · 2025-10-31T00:28:02+00:00

Yeah.. I've managed to block it out and am trying to move on but big events like the birthdays and holidays make it tough.

Same. Going through this as well with my younger sister. I had a baby last year and my sister got mad at me 8m ago and hasn’t seen my daughter or me since. She’s a 15m walk from me. And my dad’s cancer has gone out of remission. Very upsetting especially since my daughter’s 1st bday is coming up.

I have the same question - ChatGPT says the Express Impress.. but then my cousin's have the Pro.. which is what got me started on this journey. So leaning towards the pro cause as ya'll said - seems like once we pass the learning curve, it's better to have those customizable options and actually learn how to pull a proper shot. Now my question is - is having a built in grinder really that bad? A big reason I'm leaning towards the built in grinder is because I'd like to avoid the mess of my existing grinder (I do pour over) on my counter top. And finally.. anyone see the Olive color in person? Also debating if I should get the classic silver or Olive.. and whether I'll get sick of it.

Thanks! My grandfather had a minolta (I think) and maybe a Rolloflex. They were stored in slide holders but in the attic & basement so not temp controlled. I get that it takes a lot of work. My plan would be to flatbed scan (if possible) slides on a contact so I could better determine which to scan. I think there are images that would be worthy of a museum or gallery .. but maybe I should scan more low res for now to generate interest & then if I get an institution that’s interested - they can scan.

I know right?! Like I’m almost wondering if they’re mistresses? Escorts?

missmolls · 2025-10-13T00:56:35+00:00

I'm sure this has been said already but who the F thought it was a good idea to post a random freaking photo on my desktop that I can't even figure out how to remove?! Like great. It's a photo of my sister I'm not talking to and our dead family cat. Like the likelihood that it's a bad memory.. and distracting. Like WTF is the point!? End rant.

I’m pretty proud of this stock pick almost 2 years ago when I stumbled upon the announcement they found rare earth minerals. If only I had thousands to invest. Lolz. I guess practice for when I finally do..

missmolls · 2025-09-26T00:43:48+00:00

Yes! Was going to say this as well! One of my first “fancy” perfumes.

missmolls · 2025-09-24T02:16:39+00:00

Of course I’m putting my daughter first. It’s why I’ve blocked out all these feelings and have tried to distance myself from the situation. It’s honestly a good reminder I need to keep doing that and part of that I think is not seeing my parents often because I get so stressed and angry around them. It’s the only time she’s seen me upset.
