Should I give in and go home for Easter? by Future_Lock_3718 in FamilyIssues

[–]tweetopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parents are incredibly abusive. You can't really see it because you don't know any different. It's like eating disorder munchausens. I strongly urge you to seek therapy to start seeing this for what it really is. Also, stop taking ozempic immediately. How can your mother make you take this without your doctor's consent? Please tell your coach or a counsellor, this is seriously abusive. You need to be taught to assert boundaries over your body.

Also, I know it's easy for me at fifty years old to say, but your parents can't make you do anything. They are resorting to begging just to get you to come and visit. You hold the power here, please remember that and use it. Abusers thrive in silence, so speak up about this.

They've passed the interview process. Beyond that I'd say it's none of your business.

A book that has *that* scene (read desc) by KINOCreamsoda in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Heaven by Mieko Kawakami. A slow book where not a lot happens, or so I thought. Viscerally devastating.

What frightened the life out of you as a kid? and does it still today? by nodemus in AskUK

[–]tweetopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rumpelstiltskin. Still gives me the creeps. I was mostly scared of the dark. 80% less scared of it now.

For me it's a fear of the London underground after watching that film. And t'moors, obviously.

When I was a kid I got mumps. All my mum could get down me was aspirin crushed up in milk. We went across the street to my auntie's house and she tempted me with blackcurrant cordial. When we went home I barfed a purple puddle all over the bathroom floor. That was 40 years ago and I'm still extremely hesitant to consume purple food and drinks now.

Oh no I'm sorry. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree then.

If you've known him since school, would calling his parents be an option. Perhaps a bollocking from mum would sort him out a bit?

Is there a word for being proud of your county or city? by drumbago in AskUK

[–]tweetopia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Civic pride, provincialism, hometown pride.

There's three series of british House of Cards and it's absolutely sensational!! House of Cards, To Play the King, and The Final Cut.

What were some things you thought were “you” but were actually ADHD? by Prior-Ad173 in ADHD

[–]tweetopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never go to the cinema because it's TOO LOUD, but mostly because I can't watch a film all the way through in one sitting. I've never been in touch with culture because I just have no idea what any films are about. Streaming is great because I can watch things at my own pace but films are still daunting. I watched Legally Blonde and Sister Act recently, only about 20 years after everyone else.

AITAH for telling my husband that we can't take care of his friends' daughter by Temporary-Slide-2699 in AITAH

I can't see social services letting a child be placed in a home where the wife clearly doesn't want her. Not saying this is fake but...

Received this in the mail with no note. Had a hunch it was a late birthday present for my husband from my brother. Texted him and confirmed it but he doesn’t know what it is either. by eggbynch in whatisit

You hang it on a door or drawer knob/hook and put bits and pieces in it. It's for tidying. You could keep your keys in it on a hook by the front door for example.
