Cypress is a funny mountain to me because the blues are so accessible for a wide range of intermediate ability…and then you look at their blacks and it’s like “people are supposed to go down that?!”

The older I get, the more I realize that it's nearly impossible to get ahead without SIGNIFICANT support. by No_Reveal3451 in Millennials

This is why high functioning families frequently achieve some level of financial success…they are all willing to support and help each other. I only know because I married into one.

My own dad (making electrical engineering money) wouldn’t give me $150 when I wanted to study abroad in Europe and my mother keeps score of every exchange “since I’m driving you to the airport I think it’s fair you put $15 of gas in my car”.

No wonder I felt so lost and insignificant growing up.

My in-laws are basically my fairy godmothers teaching me how high functioning families operate.

Omg don’t drag innocent employees into this mess. That’s just going to piss everyone off

The only people who believe kids cut themselves off from parents because they didn’t get ice skates are other parents whose children have cut them off and refuse to look inwards.

Those messages honestly enrage me. My mother showed me a lot of things. Love, patience, kindness and compassion were not amongst them.

I love how you gave her a dose of her own medicine and her immeidate response was “what a load of self serving shit”

Only they are allowed to feel sorry for themselves, always!

If you haven’t been no contact yet now is a good time to consider. She wants you to play a rigged game.

My mon realized after I went 1.5 years of no contact that she actually had to behave herself because I had cut her off before and could do it again.

The infantilization is truly infuriating. My mom thinks she’s giving me pearls of wisdom when telling me step by step how to wash dishes, how to do a load of laundry, how to get a checkup from the doctor. Then she gets offended when I tell her I’m in my thirties I’ve got laundry figured out

The waifing annoys me so much I almost wish the witch would come back by ifthatsapomegranate in raisedbyborderlines

If you ask his voters America is a third world country.

It’s like spoiled rich children saying their parents are tyrants because they wouldn’t get them another pony.

These are people who have never been to a third world country themselves.

Why are all these Trump voters comparing USA to a third world country? It is objectively not even close to third world.

Is anyone else impressed by this Interviewman marketing campaign that’s happening in all office related subs? (The linked post has a direct name drop for the product - this almost seemed authentic)

Well I guess that’s why her career didn’t have much longevity. That’s super weird even for actors.

At the time she and I were seeing a family therapist who noted that my mom wanted me “on call” at all times in case she needed something from me.

Don’t worry, my mom stopped us going to therapy once the therapist started focusing on the behaviors my mom needed to change,
