Any money I got whether it was for my birthday, graduation or even new year's would go to paying the bills, groceries or fueling my mom's shopping addiction.
Happy birthday OP! 🎉✨ birthdays are hard yes, it was mine recently and I’m still not enjoying them. Hope you manage to enjoy somehow, wishing you my best.
you're so right. my dad has developed a pattern of disliking his children after they turn 13. and because i have 3 other siblings over that age, it hardly goes unnoticed lol
I was recently discussing this with a friend of mine, and its quite heartbreaking to say the least because 13 is the age where their child is entering a new stage in their life in which they would need their guidance and support, however, we have been met with a completely different response, it kinda made me hate growing up as a teenager, because i knew i would only be met with an even growing sense of resentment, when i just wanted to be heard.
I know exactly how you feel. I was sexualized as a kid by my own mother and I was not allowed to wear any shorts, short sleeve dresses and shirts as well as pants past the age of 8 years old. My mom would always throw hurtful comments at me about how im turning into a prostitute since my figure started becoming more obvious, even though at this point my clothing consisted of dresses and skirts and long sleeved shirts. She would make me wear an under shirt between my bra and actual shirt to make my chest size less obvious. In addition, I was supposed to wear a pair of leggings under any skirts or dresses to ensure that if I "fall", I would not be flashing anyone. As an adult, I still find it hard to love my body or even dress up in anything remotely tight or revealing. I just want to hide under baggy sweatshirts and pants because that's all I ever knew.

thank you for sharing! the purge is the only thing stopping me from starting tret in the first place and reading experiences such as yours has been really reassuring!
Yeah, my mom. She throws tantrums, screams and cries till she gets her way. If we try to ignore her and carry on with our day, she just gets louder and louder and starts saying things like "If I die today it's because of you", "I hope your kids treat you like shit", and my personal favorite "I never treated my mom with such disrespect". She also has these tantrums in public and it is mortifying being around her at that point whilst everyone stares in utter disbelief. It just never ends.
I was in your shoes 3 years ago, I started medical school with big hopes for my future. I studied all day and all night to the point where my social life was pretty much nonexistent and having friends seemed like a thing of the past. However, no matter how hard and long I studied and pushed through, I still failed (1.7 GPA). I tried to push through for another year and gave myself another chance and just started diving into a deep depression. It was a hard decision to take, but I left medical school and worked on my mental heatlh for almost a year whilst still trying to figure out where my true passion lies and this is where I found it in Management. I'm currently at the top of my class with a 3.7 GPA and feeling better and healthier than ever. So OP, take a step back and have a deep breath. Don't forget that your mental health is your utmost priority. Try reaching out to friends and talking to them. Also, check if your university offers any counseling services to support students throughout their journey, these things definitely helped me through my darkest times. Sending you lots of love!
I think you could get away with 2 middle names instead of 1! How about combining the names you already like into a first or even middle name that suits both tastes whilst still honoring loved ones?
This and "you'll understand when you have your own kids" just pushes my buttons. I can assure you the easiest thing in the world is loving your child and taking care of them!

Daycare or hire a nanny/au pair

Considering the ~unusual names I've been hearing lately, these names are a breath of fresh air.

How about Sterling and Celeste?
These results are amazing! What does your routine look like and what percentage did you start with?

I thought you were asking whether people liked or disliked the allergy medication.
I'm an Aerius girlie.
Congratulations! He is absolutely precious! William Oscar flows really nicely and I love the nickname potential (Will, Liam, Willie) 💙💙
Fellow graalian here since '11!
Two of my siblings were snitches to nMom because they craved validation and praise from her.
Oh tell me about it! They would act stupid and continously try to gaslight me into thinking that it's all in my head.
Dude we're getting the band back together!
