Jezebel, where it’s the fault of white people that Azalea Banks is an asshole to anyone more famous than her.

Who the fuck cares? Banks is messy af.

Yeah, I’ve been there dude. You have to be strong. They never stop trying, but the longer you go without answering or responding the easier it gets for you. I have an app for my phone that auto hangs up on my mother so it doesn’t even send her to voicemail. It blocks her texts too. I used to read them in the blocked…

My husband’s mother was like that, borderline, emotionally abusive, entirely incapable of reforming. He cut off all contact, entirely, and it was 100% the right decision.

You’re braver than me. I totally cut my mum out of my life. She didn’t even have my phone number. Just having the awareness you do now makes you stronger. I believe in you.

Yes! Part of this is having my illusions about my beloved dad shattered more than I thought possible. Some pretty ‘hmmm’ behaviour. Also my first ever therapy session last month was a trip. My therapist was like, yeah, you have a problem with boundaries, and it’s that you don’t have any.

I don’t post very often, but I’m a little fucking petrified and I just need to express it somewhere.

I’m glad your father is doing better. A hospital indirectly killed my uncle, the combination of the MS medication he was taking, and the chemotherapy caused his kidneys to shut down.

Anyone struggling a bit with Mother’s Day? I haven’t been in contact with my mother for about seven years, after she walked out on my dad and siblings. After a few years of learning more about myself and also my dad, my perspective has changed, to say the least. In addition to this, my brother, who is twelve years…

Apparently, passive-aggressiveness and outright lying (“I was just curious”) are just ingrained mom traits we daughters have to negotiate around, rather than a deep-seated lack of emotional intelligence and/or significant personality flaw.

Well considering my mom’s favorite after school activity with us growing up, was to drink a bottle of wine and figure out which of her kids she was going to make cry, then start beating us because we were crying, and finally ending with one of us being hit (usually with a belt, but sometimes various cooking utensils,…

Criticism is NOT caring when talking about clothing or hair choices - mundane choices that don’t harm anyone. Not even for good mothers. I’m shocked that a therapist would make a statement like that. If your mother deflects and denies when you call her out on her bullshit that is called gaslighting, and it’s a very…

God-dammit this:

Just some info: If you are going to Russia for the World Cup next month, your FanID (which you apply for after having ticket confirmation) is your visa into the country. You can arrive 5 days before Match 1 and have to leave within 5 days after the Final Match.

*reads description*

Let me ask- is there an all you can eat buffet heavily featuring bacon at the Met Gala? Is there an open bar with lots of whiskey and beer? No?

I am usually against the sort of cowboy/vigilante/Don Cherry-type justice that certain “old school” types get all nostalgic for, HOWEVAH, if there were ever a guy in need of a severe facial rearrangement at the hands of a goon, Brad Marchand would be it.

Definitely no reason and definitely fuck that asshole sideways with a rusty saw.

Huh. He sounds a lot like my (soon-to-be-former) administrator. You, on the other hand, sound cool. And we’re hiring! Care to relocate?

I usually just take a moment to reflect and acknowledge that estrangement is the right and healthy thing to do for the both of us. I will always love and respect my mother, but that relationship is toxic at best. And instead of being pressured into reconnecting because society tells us it’s the right thing to do, I…
