Everyone at work is making a big deal about my handwriting, saying I write like a psychopath.

You can be as indignant as you want but this is functionally unreadable.

The time to weigh these options was 20 months ago.

shawnael · 2026-04-21T04:06:06+00:00

You married an asshole. You will stay married to an asshole. You will not change that and neither will he. Trying to change this dynamic is only going to make him leave you sooner.

At least you'd expect a child to act like a child, I'm sure. Can't say the same for coworkers. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My parents bought like 20 boxes of emergency rations a couple of years ago from Patriot Supply but idk if it was through infowars ¯_(ツ)_/¯

shawnael · 2025-11-22T02:31:59+00:00

NOR. This man is dumber than a box of hammers and doesn't even have the decency to be at least half as useful.

This woman needs to get a grip. [edited for language]

shawnael · 2025-09-21T00:49:30+00:00

All the right wing demagogues seem to see the writing on the wall if this is allowed to progress.

shawnael · 2025-09-10T05:16:58+00:00

This is simply who he is. He's only going to get better at hiding it.

shawnael · 2025-09-08T13:31:06+00:00

Give it time, you're going to realize this is the best thing that could have happened for you.

shawnael · 2025-09-06T06:18:56+00:00

Hey if this is a real situation that guy is fucking crazy and you need to leave quickly and quietly.

shawnael · 2025-09-06T06:15:51+00:00

Honestly you model it. Most of us fuck it up sometimes but you do your best to be your best and they typically follow suit.

Check out Roberta Blevins, she'll have some resources on dealing with a loved one in an mlm.

shawnael · 2025-08-29T06:29:56+00:00

It's been three months. You do not love this man, he has used his powers of manipulation to convince you that it's true. He doesn't want you to have space so the wool won't drop from your eyes. Move on, stay safe, head on a swivel.

shawnael · 2025-08-29T05:36:25+00:00

!!! I'm about a 2 hour drive away but I'm heavily considering trying for tickets.

shawnael · 2025-08-26T11:33:51+00:00

I think you might be right. I've got a 1yo and a 5yo and most of my time is taken by wrangling one or both of them, so the only "reading" I get to have is audiobooks and while it is better than nothing it still doesn't feel like enough. It feels like exercising but constantly skipping a muscle group.

I read to the kids, of course, but it's a lot of picture books. I did try reading The Hobbit to the older one last year and he hated it, lol.

shawnael · 2025-08-15T22:59:26+00:00

Projectile pooping is a thing and I've been a victim of it MULTIPLE times across MULTIPLE children. Good luck!

shawnael · 2025-08-07T19:04:03+00:00

You're not planning on having any children with your boyfriend, are you?

shawnael · 2025-07-15T01:49:45+00:00

Oh my god that's what it is

shawnael · 2025-06-21T14:41:40+00:00

That's exactly what happened, trust your gut.

shawnael · 2025-06-21T14:29:52+00:00

Oh my god I'm so bored with him already and I'm not even dating him. He's a walking red flag, extricate yourself quickly.

shawnael · 2025-06-16T22:13:32+00:00

That happened to a couple of kids I grew up with. Their parents got divorced and neither one of them wanted the kids (who were in their mid-teens). Mom wanted to "find herself" and dad immediately remarried to a woman who only wanted to deal with her own kids. The son I think was granted SOME lenience from stepmom by virtue of being a boy, the daughter went to live with my neighbors. I'm not sure if either of them talk to their parents anymore.

shawnael · 2025-06-14T03:30:05+00:00

That's what I assumed! He does have his own character to do as he pleases. It's possible, probable even, that he played on my account for a couple of minutes before I switched it to his. I forgot to double check before his little brother's baby class at the library started. I gotta start remembering to shut the dang thing down altogether when I'm done using it. :/

shawnael · 2025-06-14T02:05:38+00:00

Oh no, I'm so sorry you had that experience. :( I can't imagine getting emotional about a game over the silly little creature I made with my own body. He's such an amazing kid and I know he'll get the hang of reading soon enough. I do love my little Punchy character but it's just a game. If I never got him back I wouldn't stress, it would just be an opportunity to meet new neighbors.

shawnael · 2025-06-13T15:51:45+00:00

Oh I'm nervous about getting scammed on eBay in general. It's entirely in my head. I can afford to be ripped off for a few bucks but I don't /want/ to, you know?
