Jesus. Your parents suck. Sending you warm hugs and boatloads of booze and meat!

I got an external hard drive, Barnes & Noble gift card, cash, and candy. And an extremely passive-aggressive display from my mom wherein she called me fat and repeatedly expressed her disappointment and unhappiness that I didn’t get married to the guy I was engaged to for a month 14 years ago.

Christmas as revolved around not getting my father angry, and listening to him scream at my mother

Good Grief! Well, it sounds like disowning you was the best thing they could do for you. And congratulations on your happy life!

“Then they would tell me how no-other family would put up with my shit, ask my husband why he lets me act the way I do (eating meat and drinking alcohol which is Not For Women who should be vegetarian teetotalers because it is more feminine.”

You go, girl! Nobody died and left you in charge of fulfilling your parents’ racist and classist expectations. I hope you had a Very Merry!

I’m sorry but they sound like horrible people. There is no excuse for how they treated you. I’m sending hugs. Stay strong and keep your distance.

Perhaps if they had had a neurotypical child then they might have all been happier.

Did you have brothers? Did your father just allot them absolute free reign?

That is quite strange. My mother was raised Baptist but stopped going to church in her 20s, but objected to me taking up the Catholic religion. My step parents are both Catholic and before moving here attended mass with them. My mother somehow managed to see that as a loss of control over me. I guess your parents see…

I didn’t need to read past the first two sentences to star this.

Wow.

I hope this list becomes a fuck you checklist, aside from driving (I hate driving!) Wishing you all the meat and alcohol and medium length hair that you can stand!

My mind is blown by the way they treated you. I’m veg, but I never associated it with fem/unfem. May I ask are your family orthodox in some way?

Your father sounds terrible. I'm sorry your mother still has to live with him. It's doubly sad that she went from one abusive home to another.

The they would tell me how no-other family would put up with my shit, ask my husband why he lets me act the way I do (eating meat and drinking alcohol which is Not For Women who should be vegetarian teetotallers because it is more feminine)

It’s my 36th Christmas and first emancipated from parents that are a perfect example of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, the freedom is glorious, isn’t it?

Good, I’m glad that you had a nice Christmas and that your dog is inappropriate, they’re the best kind. Sometimes family are shit and it’s not your fault & the only way to find out is to be away from them. Best of luck X

NVM I just watched it and it is so heartbreaking. That family is toxic for her and i hope she finds her own path far away from them.
