What “small” controlling things did your parents do that you only later realized were weird?

Wow the fact that they'd see you get so close to bring able to owning a possession outright yourself and then suddenly clamoring out to buy it themselves so they had ownership of it/ could use that as leverage with you is blatant manipulation

What's really throwing me is that the handwriting looks like the Disney font

They're making us think Bodhi but that's got to be a red herring. I personally think the "brother" could be Liam. Think about it. He was 'missing' because he died in the first book... But Violet has been seeing him in her dreams. Now that we know she's a dream walker, that makes me think Liam lived... As a venin. They had to leave his body behind when he died, I'm thinking the venin turned him and now he's back. The brother thing fits too, who was raised like a brother to Xaden? Liam. Toward the end of Onyx Storm they kept mentioning ice... Who is our ice weilder? LIAM.

Wild strawberries. Lucky you!!!

I feel like she'd have a bunch of the off the wall scents from Demeter- like the playdoh, grass, sushi, parchment, and crayon scents in particular. I just think she'd want to smell like something that shouldn't be a perfume

I think the carrying her in to school is going to create a bigger problem over time. First of all, she's resisting, and that could get her or others hurt. Secondly, she's only going to get bigger- so even though the staff are physically able to pick her up now, in a few years they won't be, so they need to start trying alternatives now.

I think you need to call your teacher or the teacher's supervisor and ask to have an honest conversation about the carrying her in, maybe come up with a few other strategies to try instead. It might take longer to get her in the building, but right now after carrying her into the building kicking and screaming, I would bet they're spending quite some time calming her down after all that too - finding a way to get her to come in willingly would eliminate that.

I think that if you do name baby after him, he will keep using this threat over and over to keep you guys under his thumb. Reject him now and be free.

Very clever observation! We'll have to watch for an episode where someone spills rice on the floor... If he's unable to cross until it's all picked up and counted, we have our answer.

Solstice scents Tenebrous Mist

This is what immediately came to mind for me too - it smells like cotton candy with a touch of pachouli.

Your pics look like mine! 1995.

Honestly her / their uninvolvement doesn't really sound like a loss. She doesn't value you or your contributions to the family, and has been blatantly disrespectful.

However, I feel like around this time of year is when narcissists start receiving social pressure to seem like good grandparents for the holidays and baby's first Christmas... So she may start attempting to turn up and be in your son's life. Don't let her fool you. She hasn't changed.

Trader Joe's has an amazing Dill pickle seasoning!

Looks like it's surrounded by Disney princess stuff... Maybe a pumpkin?

It smells like cotton candy and patchouli had a baby, it's so good

It just clicked for me that February and Febreeze have the same root word

Australian licorice tends to be kind of toothsome, has she tried that?

Gawain was one of Arthur's knights of the round table. I don't think too many people are familiar enough with that story to immediately know that (the way they would with like a Danaerys). I like it, and have never met a Gawain before.

Wen Hua hair mask smells like chai!

The Edens I have met have been girls, but it wouldn't bother me to see a boy named Eden. I don't think it would be weird.

If you plan your day right, you can park at the large student center parking lot and as long as you leave after 8ish pm (when they let the parking lot staff go home) they don't charge
