My hope for you is that in time, you will accept that your relationship with your mom wasn't what it could have been, and that is not your fault. Society inculcates us with the belief that we're supposed to have this special bond with certain people just because we're related, but sadly it doesn't always work that…

So sorry you are going through this. Internet hugs, if that's not too creepy.

One more:

Exactly!! And you know what? I never liked James Spader anyway, even back when he looked good, because he always played creepy dicks. Sometimes I have issues separating the role from the actor, I guess.

BWAHAHA My boyfriend went on a tangent earlier this year and posted a ton of pics of Val Kilmer, Master of Disguise. Some of them were pretty funny:

I'm 43 and I don't look as hot as I once did either. :( Stupid time, always marching on.

Uhhh.....yeah, if it's THAT James Spader and not THIS one!

There's plenty more fun to be had. Besides, the bathroom attached to our bedroom has a door that's not very thick, so it's not like we can't hear each other. We just pretend we don't. ;-)

My bf and I have lived together for over two years and very early on had a discussion and came to the mutual agreement that we would not pass gas in front of each other. Obviously the bathroom is off limits. He does burp in front of me, but it's never loud and obnoxious and he always says "Pardon me." So I don't…

Me tooooooooooooo

They'll get bigger and darker (mine got super-dark), but eventually go back to normal.

Bag Balm!! It really works.

Thanks. I don't "hate" myself 24-7 but it's very frustrating. I'm disgusted with myself and this habit but I keep lighting up. :P

I smoke and I feel like a complete and utter pariah, and I hate myself for continued failure in my attempts to quit. (I've been smoking for about 25 years.)

Great! That's very important work. Thank you for being willing to do it. :-)

Hey there. I know this is weird because it's the internet and all, but I wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about you. I'm glad you're still here. :-)

I'm sorry you have to deal with this, it sounds awful. I hope you can find something different soon.

Whatever works. :-)

This: Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems.

Yeah, that's heinous indeed. I agree with the others that you have the basis for a law suit.
