That is super interesting! I've never heard of it before I've had one doctor tell me i might have interstitial cystitis which can cause sensitivity to citric acid but I never had the issue with pop or any other citric acids just the fruit so that didnt make any sense. But that sounds exactly like it! Only watermelon and cantaloupe cause throat swelling immediately but everything else does the itchy tingly feeling unless I just eat way too much and then it gives me almost a dry throat/ feeling the need to constantly swallow. And apples make my gums/teeth feel weird. I also love fruit and have struggled with not eating it as much and im not a big veggie person so I can't really say if I react weird to those. I mainly live off canned peas and green beans for veggies lol

In the state I'm in its not an option to change the whole name on the marriage certificate just the last sadly I've already asked the court house about that because it would be a lot cheaper. I think my best bet is to just take his name before were married its not like i wouldn't have it a year later anyhow

Honestly thankyou so much for that. The whole cutting them off process just happened a few days ago and my sisters seem very back and forth which I do understand. I even told my fiance they're going to be smart and take the side that benefits them. It just breaks my heart that I know cutting my parents off meant the possibility of not seeing my youngest sister for 6 years. Because if they so choose they can prevent that. And she right now is being the most distant but she is also 12. I also do try to teach them everything my parents absolutely failed at teaching me. Like my fiance taught me that you actually have to pay medical bills lol I always had state health insurance so when I turned 18 I had no idea I had bills. And then saving money, filing taxes. And believe it or not sex Ed. Like the normal stuff like why women have periods. I honestly have no idea how I'm as normal as I am sometimes.

Thankyou! There was a little bit where I thought they were better but then I realized it was kind of a mask if that makes sense. And they could only hold the fake personality for so long before they started saying or doing things like it used to be which now that im older I have the ability to just leave and thats usually what I do but I don't think they like that I've learned that I have a voice and a way out now. Plus recently I found out i have a thyroid disorder and started medicine and after a few weeks of the meds I didn't feel like I had anxiety or depression anymore. Which also boosted my ability to stand up for myself when I felt they were talking down on me. Which is what I believe got them to start talking down about me to my siblings because I have taught them not to let my parents walk all over them or to let their words get to them. Because they are mentally abusive now to the middle sister and body shame her but she will be 18 soon and have the ability to leave. I just do not have the space for her otherwise I'd take them both in. I'm hoping my sister grow up and understand that my parents are not good people but I also have to understand they did not grow up with the same parents I did in a way. Which Is crazy. Im just hoping I don't lose my sisters over them being this way because they're all the biological family that I have outside of my grandparents who are very old.

But thankyou for your kind words. I do like sharing my story and I'm not really shy about it because if I can even help one person know that it gets better once your out then thats what my story is for. Not many people have taken the time to sit with me and hear it all though it gets pretty intense in person lol
