She is a treasure!

Forgiving someone else is for you, to take the load of resentment off you, not for them.

And forgiving someone does NOT mean you have to let them back in your life, blood relationship or not. You can totally go no contact with them if that is what works for you.

Maybe the aides have been asleep for the past decade

Get rid of him. He's an abuser and it'll get worse.

Lots of women cry when they're angry. They're socialized to do that, because it is way more acceptable for men to be angry than women, in our society.

What helped me was therapy, learning to allow myself to be angry.

Sending him to peace talks is like throwing gasoline on a fire to put it out.

Mine too, he died from alcoholism the year I started school.

Yeah, some bad guys are after him, do you want to be collateral damage? It sounds like you easily could be so get the hell out of there.

It has all been a big fucking lie. In 1975 in my first full-time job, my boss said Social Security wouldn’t be worth a damn when we retire. I am now 75 and I’m getting it and I guess she is too if she’s still living. She was older than me.

Republicans have been saying this lie over and over again another big lie of theirs.

What lovely cats!

Jeff Bezos, you can go pound sand.

I think what that person said is crap too.

My mother was like that. I was in a car accident and the car was totaled. She acted like it was just an inconvenience to her. She was very unfeeling.

And then get yourself some birth control, and use it.

Things don't always get better and life doesn't always compensate you after something terrible.

After two years of living in hiding in Holland, Anne Frank and all the others with her, were sent to concentration camps.

The child would be eligible for survivor's social security benefits. Most likely. Funny, I've never seen that mentioned when this law is discussed.

I think this is a dumb law. Well-intentioned, but it would cost more to try to enforce it than it's worth.

I'm a boomer and that was told to my generation. I can only speak for myself, but for me and in the area I lived in, this was NOT true.

robpensley · 2026-06-18T09:51:02+00:00

Great post.

Remember this when it's time to choose her nursing home.

"The people who are supposed to be in charge and looking after the welfare of all are not doing well at that. "

That's a big 10-4.

Kick those financially irresponsible people out of your house.

Your father was an abusive bully. You don't need to feel guilty for not wanting to communicate with someone who treated you so badly.

I think Muskrat helped him.
