PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Lemmy's own, and a good buddy of mine, Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I'm going to try to do what I can.
Not me. Had an email to my grandmother the other night where she was trying to guilt trip me into coming to see her before she moved into a seniors home. The woman who said I was going to hell for being gay and sobbed, begging me to not be gay while saying in the same breath she knew that I couldn't change, tried to guilt trip me with the same shit her narcissistic daughter used. Then ended it all saying "Dream of the good times" and I was literally hit by an intense realization that I couldn't remember any. I know there were some but I can't remember a singular fucking one. Just general events that happened multiple times. Sort of hoping that's... normal. Doubting it is.
Sorry. Blabbing. Weird week.
They exist, but yeah you might have to dig deep to find them. Adulthood tends to cloud everything as different wants/needs/values clash. Maybe sitting at her kitchen table when you were a kid and she made you something to eat. Feeling sick with a headache, and lying on the sofa as she mopped your brow? Singing you a song as she tucked you in?
Mood the mental gymnastics they go through to manipulate you always stings. My mom and dad are trying to revision my coming out and getting kicked out of the house as my fault and they are sorry my feelings don't align with theirs. I just kinda left them on read
