You're absolutely correct. Crazy thing is I meant a case like this would be laughed out of court in America. I'm not sure how that ended up with me showing white privilege.

You clearly missed the part I said we're far from perfect. Don't be that guy.

Two years in prison and $20K in fines? We're far from perfect but I'm proud to be an American.

It sounds bad but I completely get what you mean. I'll miss them when they are gone but I definitely won't miss any of this. Thanks for the hug :)

That's sounds so nice. I'm thinking of just putting myself through this kind of abuse once a year now.

I'm totally gonna use that one next time I have to deal with them. Easter. Thank you jeebus!

That's so awesome, although it would be wasted on these people. They don't get humor. Or joy, or anything good.

I've literally been asked when I'm settling down and getting kids countless times. This has been me all freaking day. I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

Sucks about the relationship, but it sounds like it's for the best as he didn't like your style. He sucks, his lose. I'm glad you're finally home. I got a dog about 3 years ago thinking it would round up everything but not yet. I'm just ready to feel like an adult.

When does your house become your home?! I'm heading to my parents on Tuesday for a few days and I never realized how much I refer to their place as home until now. I've lived on my own for years and I've yet to get that home-y feeling. I am looking forward to being responsibility free for a few days. And also day…

I was not aware of who he was until a friend emailed me this picture. I can't get enough now.

For anyone that needs this. You're welcome :)

I'm only here for a week and it's enough. My thoughts will be with you during your three weeks. It's almost like boundaries no longer apply when you're "just visiting".

All I want to do is curl up with the family dogs and read a damn book.

Anyone else having a horrible time being back home for this long? I feel like family knows all the buttons to push. I'm not alone in this, right?

The original, can't live with them, can't live without them. Also, long time neighbors and their kids.

You have my permission to hit them in the face if they are douches about it. I've been home less than 24 hours and I've been asked 4 times if my boyfriend/husband will be joining me later on. It's brutal.

Agreed, but I think this is more of the idea that a sociopath in prison for the rest of his life can find love, and most of us normal, boring humans can't.
