Nothing much.

Except a damn rat ate my lunch when I left it for 5 minutes to cool off.

Why the hell did you decide to clean out that room today? Now i have a crap-ton of yarn in the middle of my floor. This was not on my agenda today.
Today was meant to be chilling while remaining available for [name] in case she needs to leave the house with her kid at home. I cannot be cranky if I’m to be around a kid.
I need to be checking for texts from [name] till 3.
I need to eat food and i’m pissed at you. Your dog chewed up a yarn label and several other things in the house. Sure, she’s not a fully grown dog yet (9 months) but gosh.
Keep your dog away from stuff. At least she hasn’t peed on anything yet. Yet.
She’s your dog. This household has not had a dog in 3 years, much less a puppy. You think we can take care of this dog? Hell no. Please keep her out.
I love dogs, but not when they are absolute menaces.

Stop leaving the doors open it’s way too hot out for that.
Why are you doing big projects while you’re sick? Stop. Just sleep.

I'm not sure if my social skills are still working.I rely on a few online friends to alleviate this anxiety.Whenever the anxiety gets worse, I send them some money.It's too weird, and it seems to be aggravating the anxiety.

I have strayed too far from the normal course of life. Every time I look at it, it looks like a piece of s**t.Lots and lots of interlinked debuffs that fill my life and make it worse

Figuring out what to do with my life moving forward is really hard. I don’t seem to be suited for much.

Given my clumsiness, I’d make an extremely incompetent and potentially dangerous nurse or else I’d consider taking you up on that. :lol:

Care homes are $3000 month which is less than I thought, but they're only full-time. We can't just put her in one for a month or two and then let her go home. There's no way she'll sell the house or stay in care. I know from experience when she gets walking she'll walk right out the door.

Private care is up to $5k / month. I'd do it myself, POSSIBLY, but I don't want to be the one to eventually find her dead. I'd also have to leave my pets and that's not gonna fly.

There's also the issue that I'd be paying myself ???

They won't let her go home alone.

We might ask Ken's widow. :(
She's qualified and unemployed.

My uterus, being a literal pain.

This is somewhat new to me, not a regular thing.

“[me] and [my sister] tried to convince me to buy a big bottle of wine for their grandmother, but i don’t trust that would be where it was really going :lol:” said dad’s gf.

First of all. We did not ask you at all to buy that. Me and my sister were joking around bc grandma really likes chardonnay. We were joking.

Second of all. Do not ever imply that i might do underage drinking. I have known several alcoholics, one of which being my father. I have trauma. i have no interest in drinking.

This was very insensitive of you, especially if you do indeed know that my dad was an alcoholic.
If you mention this false event of convincing you to but alcohol for illegal reasons, i will tell you how offensive i find this.

I’ve always been the black sheep of my family, especially my mom’s side of the family, due to my lack of religiosity. They often ignore or dismiss whatever I have to say, even regarding topics I am knowledgeable about, if I disagree with them. When my brother says the same thing, they actually listen. Some of that is related to gender. They think that men are more logical, more intelligent. I’m the highest educated person in the family, but they are against higher education so that actually works against me.

I often get blamed for stuff too. Black sheep make convenient scapegoats.

My brother has been a closeted atheist for years. He doesn’t believe, talks to me in secret, and still has attended church/engaged in church activities. Recently, my 14 year old nephew quit believing and became an atheist. They have decided to quit the religion entirely, and my brother was going to tell my family about his disbelief. That was the plan. Instead of doing that, he said that his son stopped believing, not him. (My bro was worried about being shunned since he’s baptized.) Now family blames me and my son for being bad influences even though this is something that both my nephew and brother investigated on their own. Instead of feeling vindicated, I am blamed again and my son is too. It’s almost like bullying. I’ve lived a pretty blameless life by normal people’s standards. I’m quiet and timid which heightens the absurdity in my opinion.

My family is weird like that. For example, I remember several of the adults disliking my cousin and thinking she was a bad person when she was as young as five. As a nine year old, I came to the conclusion that she was not the problem nor was I… Anyway, maybe this stuff is related to black and and white thinking. Cults certainly encourage it.

Disturbing content:

When my brother told my mom about his son’s lack of belief yesterday, my mom said that without the hope of Paradise she would kill herself AND her family. She was very upset at the time but still…that’s batshit crazy and extremely concerning.

I didn't report anyone either.

I am fairly certain who CF is referring to, however, though I shall not name and shame.

It’s a bit of a challenge when a person attacks you in such a way after posting in The Haven and you know that a mod might not be on for hours. I’m not blaming anyone. Obviously, a person can’t be modding 24/7. But I think it IS understandable why someone, under the circumstances, might want to stand up for themselves or others, especially in a thread in The Haven.

She's going to keep coming back until she's worked through her butthurt. Engaging at least allows that to happen.

But also, should we ignore someone who's slandering good people, wouldn't that just amount to letting her narrative go unchallenged and lend it credibility?

It seems like the request is to not respond to a situation that demands a response. That's not possible and it's disappointing that you don't recognize the nature of that request.

If more mods are needed to ensure there's someone who can respond as you'd prefer, perhaps it's time to pick someone because the people who've been empowered to respond as you'd prefer haven't been active in awhile and can't be counted on as a result.
