That must have been awesomely humbling for those entitled little brats. Love it!

Haaaaaa! That's fucking sad and hilarious at the same time. Why don't moms get basic shit like this? I remember so many times I'd try to tell my mom how I thought or felt about something. The common theme I remember about it is her negating every fucking thing. I don't speak to get anymore. Funny thing, …

What a cunt. I agree with Vagina Pineapple. Have a shit ton of kids in her honor. 'gotta strive for cosmic balance.

Jesus. And we wonder why people are so fucking broken in this world. Thanks for saddling us with a legacy of infinite therapy bills, past generations people.

What the hell? :( Some people can be so mean! My grandfather is real dick head. Can't stand him.

You're better off. You deserve better friends than that.

Right there with you. I must admit, I need a babysitter because I'm a lazy fuck. But I live in poverty, so this service is not an option for me.

Hot! I want to be just like her when I grow up.

Thanks, Jezebel. I wrote an email and shared this story with him. So glad he doesn't represent me. Sorry, Missourians! (How did he get elected, people?)

Love. Thanks.

Or the occasional scotch on the rocks. :)

No, no, no, no. That sounds exhausting. Sorry you had to go through that.

We are SO cosmically aligned on this subject.

Stop acquiescing, unless you have nothing better to do with your life. Because you are conditioning the relationship in a way where your actions communicate to that person that their behavior is acceptable.

goldenrae, I am so sorry! I almost got caught up in a bridezilla situation like yours. But I saw the writing on the wall and told her I couldn't participate. The friendship did not last, obviously, and I do not regret my decision. Friendships are supposed to enhance our lives. I wish you the best in the future.

I'm right there with you. I came to the realization that the friendships I grew up with were immature and unhealthy, so I left them all behind. ALL OF THEM. And where do I start with my family? Completely dysfunctional. None of our lives were better by having each other in them. So I left that behind as well…
