  • If they don’t learn, will they ever?

    I cut off my mother 12 years ago. I do not communicate with her at all. She’s treated me like a second rate citizen all my life.

    I made every attempt to bridge the gap across 30+ years. Even as a child. But children are supposed to be children, not peacekeepers. But when the insults and passive aggressive jibes persisted for 3 decades, I finally had enough, and stopped talking to her altogether. It was a gradual process, but I had to stop.

    I won’t be someone’s punching bag. Nor should you. If they can’t meet you in the middle and attempt to be a better person towards you, and give you the respect you deserve, and honor your boundaries, it’s okay to finally cut ties.

    Abuse comes in many forms, and identifying it can be difficult, tedious, and laborious. But once you learn what you are worth, and what you are willing to put up with (and what you aren’t willing to put up with), you can be free.


  • You live with your roommate. Your neighborhood is run by an HOA. Your landlord is somehow not regulated by the HOA.

    Your roommate and the landlord have decided they are going to demolish a house wall, with no general plan to clean up the destruction. They don’t care what you have to say.

    You decide not to pay your rent unless they both:

    a) give up the needless idea of demolishing a perfectly good wall
    b) fix the goddamned shower that barely functions correctly

    You’re called the bad guy to your HOA, neighbors, and even your family. People you don’t even know call and harass you on the regular.

    That wall is what separates your bedroom from the outside; it includes your closet.

    I’m in a homeless shelter, so I use their bottles as a reusable bottle for at least a week. Better than Gatorade bottles due to general practicality. And some come with caffeine, which can be a nice boost day of.

    And I’ll use store brand “crystal lite” to impart flavor / caffeine from time to time.
