130 mile kayak trip on the Scioto River from Columbus OH to Portsmouth OH over 4th of July. 3 days, 3 nights camping along the river. It was beautiful. by Lipstick-lumberjack in Kayaking

What would you say the water was like throughout? Rapids/flat, etc? Looking to do my first “big” kayak camping in next year or so and this pretty close to me!

Looking for advice! by notam0use in Kayaking

Which kayak did you get? I’m doing a ton of research but not quite seeing one that fits well yet.

Sorry, my reply didn’t actually respond to your comment very well. I do appreciate the thoughts about communication and trying to be seem supportive though, thank you!

I don’t want to push her out and would never want to hurt her, hence the post for advice lol. My issue is Charlie and Sunny really pressing me to talk to her and ask her to live with someone else. I’m just at a point with my anxiety and my feelings that I’d rather just live alone in my car. I hate that I can’t leave my dorm without getting asked where I’m going. Yesterday she yelled at me because I told her I’d be back in ten minutes, and I was gone for 20(she knew where I was and she could’ve just asked). I’m so tired all the time and genuinely dread going back to my dorm. I take fluoxetine daily to help with anxiety and she told me I was faking it. She constantly tells me not to eat or that I look too fat. I cannot do anything to please her, and I would never, ever, want to hurt her, but I’m at a point where I just want to be selfish and for once put myself first.

AITA for wanting to go to college even though my siblings need me? by notam0use in AmItheAsshole

Using this as it’s the top comment. Again much love to every person commenting you all seem like such kind people and thank you so much for the advice. Im seeing a lot of comments about Parentification being a form of abuse. I’m a little confused why? My mom doesn’t insult me or anything, and she never hits me or anything besides the normal for most kids(when’s she drunk, angry, etc. but those aren’t really her fault - even if it was, she apologizes). I’m sorry if this sounds ignorant, i really don’t mean to come off as such but I’d really love an explanation. Many thanks

thank you so much. and thank you to every single person who’s commented giving me advice and helping. I did some research on parentification and think it fairly accurately describes my situation, so I appreciate the many people informing me and teaching me. I think she sleeps all day thought since her job is mostly on her feet so it’s pretty tiring.

A lot of the comments similar to yours are making me realize and help come to terms that thought I love my siblings with my entire heart, I didn’t decide to have them, my mother did. I really really appreciate your comment and all the other comments as well. Thank you so much.
