Dude walk away now. Seriously, personal insults, breaking doors, and glassware is abusive. Straight up abusive . You need to leave this relationship. Period.

Absolutely. I know I have suffered for decades from my father’s crappy most of the time absent parenting to his down right abusive and neglectful parenting. It isn’t great when you have Home Depot parents ( never around and never helpful ). And yes , at 18 you may be a legal adult but 99% are poorly equipped for life at this point and still need parents. Parenting never ends until they put you in the box.

If I have to drive her she will be going . The issue is her back is so severely damaged because she has damaged vertebrae everywhere. She’s broken her back four times she’s got disintegrating discs in her neck. She’s just an entire disaster. She doesn’t even walk upright. She walks at like a 30° angle so she would never go to any chiropractor because they would probably break her bones because her osteoporosis is so bad.

Correct , my brother chose to pay support for his kids until they turn 22 and will be finished school. He also has his oldest daughter from 12-22 and she still lives with her dad. He just paid for her latest education venture . My son is 26 and I have him probably the rest of my life due to his disability. We are trying to sock away every cent we can in an RDSP for him for when we are gone . Children are the most expensive venture you will ever embark on.

She should be ok if I can get her to call her damned doctor . She is more worried about her car. I said your health comes before your car. Plus there’s the move coming for you in three weeks for me in two weeks. I said you’re not going to be able to do anything. I was there yesterday. She still has pictures all over the walls she think because they packed up her China cabinet and some of one of her rooms that she’s even close to packed. It’s ridiculous. I know I am going to end up packing her crap as we load 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😞😞😞My husband is going to lose his mind. I talked to my husband on the phone and he is ready to lose his crap because he knows she won’t be ready and it will all be on us . I know she is going to be sore for months. I have only been packing for 1/2 a day and my back is killing me .

My mom was in a car accident yesterday. Someone hit her from behind at a light . The light was green, but my mom was stopped because two people in front of her were stopped . The young lady was staring at her phone glanced up, saw a green light and stepped on the gas. 🙄🙄🙄. After she hit my mom she gets out and she said , “oh I didn’t know you were stopped. All I saw was the green light.” When my mom said she was in pain she says to my mother , “ oh you’re fine, fender benders happen all the time .” She said to my mother, “this has happened to me before “and then when she saw the look on my mother’s face, she said “oh yeah, somebody smacked into me .” Riiiiighhht 🙄🙄She told my mom nothing happened to her car because my mom didn’t get out. No , it isn’t her bumper is cracked in half and pulled apart from her car on one side. My mom said I’m 78 years old. I’m not a spring chicken and I’m hurt. My mom has bad osteoporosis and a horrific back and neck. I went down and looked after my mom took her to the collision reporting centre. Got her groceries filled up her car with gas. Made sure she was safe at home and returned home.. My brother went to the scene of the accident and drove her car home and then returned to work.

https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/news/2024/02/universal-access-to-diabetes-medications-and-diabetes-device-fund-for-devices-and-supplies.html Canada is coming up with Universal Pharma especially for diabetes medications and supplies as they can cost thousands and thousands a year. Many can’t afford their medications and supplies. I wish I could switch to the continuous sensor but it is $300 a month and my insurance plan only pays $700 a year.

Have to agree , my husband makes 6 figures and we are taxed to death and inflation is extravagant. My brother is a financial advisor with 25 years experience and he says if you don’t make 6 figures you are teetering on the edge of living in your car, and that is soon coming for the lower 6 figure income earners as well.

That wind is just howling tonight and Winter is back.

My brother makes over six figures as well and pays his ex wife 60,000 a year for his two younger daughters who are over the age of 18. He has to pay until they each reach the age of 22. It is still hard to pay even with his own business and he works 16 hours a day 6 days a week.

Snowing again today.

I am a 57 year old woman, I can guarantee I don’t have the energy I had when I became a mother at 30. My husband says the same . We are not “old” but you definitely feel the energy reduction. My husband is in the military and definitely fit and will be 55 this summer and he definitely feels his energy has reduced. I had a very hard pregnancy with HG and a severe hemorrhage at his birth due to a condition with my uterus. The majority of people do fine though. My son is 26 now .

Your first stop should be your doctor . I would stop worrying about what anyone thinks . When you become a mother EVERYONE has an opinion on how you are doing that. Just ignore it . If you keep caring you will be tied up in knots and anxiety ridden.

Someone ( him) has sad priorities.

I am 57 Lord knows I don’t want to raise another person. We are gearing down for retirement. Hell he could be dead before the child is out of school. He might be thrilled and he might not be .

^ Fabulous song.

Omg..: we have had false Spring for about 2 weeks and Winter comes back tomorrow with snow and back down to 0C for two weeks for us to move. 🙄🙄

I come from a long line of strong and independent women. There was my mom who I mentioned and her mother who worked and didn’t marry until she was 38. She was a tough woman as tiny as she was . She was the boss and you didn’t cross her . Her mother died when she was 6 years old . She was partially raised by her grandmother another strong woman who took the 3 youngest of her daughter’s 8 children when her daughter died. She made sure her three youngest granddaughters were well looked after and went to school. Sadly , she died at 64 years old 6 years after her daughter . One of my great aunts , one of my grandmother’s sisters left her abusive husband in the 40’s and never went back and looked after herself until she died in her 80’s. So many women in my family rose to the challenge in days where women didn’t for fear of what people thought . Even my mom divorced my abusive father in 1973 when women didn’t even do that then . Lots of trail blazing women in my family . I am still the only female in my family that was in the military. Even in the 90’s the sexism was rife. I fought back against that to NIS ( National Investigative Service ) The military has changed so so much even from the 90’s. In the Western World women have fought their fight for the most part . The rest of the world however still needs to fight that fight unfortunately.

Toronto is 190 years old today.

Correct , so many more important women who have contributed to the world. My mom is one of my female idols. She helped start a women’s shelter with other women in a town that didn’t have one . She mentored several thousand women into business. She was a very high ranking executive in the 80’s when it was still mostly men. She fostered over 45 foster children a lot from birth until their adoption. She had her own kids and 6 step children over her life and 17 grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is a very solid champion for women. She was born in the 40’s and became an adult in the 60’s when the fight for women was really valid. I remember being at the tail end of the fight for equality being told I couldn’t be in a combat role because I was a woman and belonged behind a desk. That was 1986. We have come miles and miles and miles since those days . As a woman who is middle aged this “ women fighting the man “ isn’t even a part of my radar anymore .

I also watch A Haunting on YouTube .

Okay some of my fav shows they took off of cable and put on the Discovery+ App. One that I am not sure is continuing is The Dead Files. There is 15 seasons . Ghost Adventures,Ghost Hunters, etc . Discovery + has a big selection. I also watch most horror movies. There is a big selection on Netflix and Prime and I think there are horror streaming apps like Shudder.

Thank you everyone . ❤️

Yikes didn’t see you asked earlier . Let me think. Just crawling out of bed.
