I’ve never seen her look so relaxed and, maybe, kind? Thanks for sharing this.

I have a really similar father and I applaud you for taking care of yourself. It’s hard to go no contact, right? So hard, but I haven’t been this calm overall in YEARS.

Oh lord, are we siblings because that is my father, too.

This is good kinja

Yep. I try to stay under $30 in my every-other-month Sephora jaunts. Give me a small break with this pity party for the Trump castoffs.

Right and now Veronica is the very typical pretty white girl bullied by a very diverse set of Heathers? What does that say, exactly? That POC and genderqueer people are to be feared more now? That doesn’t seem great. /understatement

She’s not Chuck Schumer’s daughter. Her dad has been disabled with MS for years. But nice try I guess.

Ugh yes. Family members. One of them dropped dead about a year after I came to terms with what he’d done to me as a child, so maybe some cosmic justice there. Or the randomness of life. Who knows.

Maybe there were legal reasons she couldn’t speak until now?

Don’t we all.

It’s a county tax, not city, and a huge swatch of the burbs are in Cook County, along with Chicago.

That said, La Croix tastes weird and white women are insane for anything that makes them feel virtuous.

I so feel you!

So much this.

You win everything, bosom friend.

Michael McKean deserved to be nominated!

Yes. My father didn’t die, but he left my mom out of the blue and disappeared. It felt like a death. And before I could even get used to the two of us living alone and surviving, she had a boyfriend move in, just about a year later. I am still working through all of that, 30 years later.

I was thinking it sounded a little bit /r/thathappened.

If you’re black, you mean.
