Why does Rorschach's mask look like my parents fighting?

[yourtransfemboy]

my mom texted me for the first time in weeks, after i made a post on my personal accoubnt about leaving jobcorps. she asked me where i was gonna live, where i was going. im having a panic attack, if i tell her im going with my grandma she will flip anf cause me dramam, if i dont tell her anything she will spread rumors about me. im so tempted to block her, but that will also cause drama

Are you:

“Please don’t leave me” daddy issues and “ew don’t touch me” mommy issues

OR

“please just hold me and tell me I’m enough” mommy issues and “I didn’t need him and I don’t need you” daddy issues

I’m crying rn because my mom came in my room not too long before I made my post with the song ‘Haunted’, she was obviously drunk (I could smell the wine) and she’s honest with her thoughts when she’s drunk. She said a few things basically telling me she wishes I was never born, I should’ve been the twin to die in the womb, she should’ve let me be stillborn instead of paying the doctors to help my lungs. Then she told me to go “wash off that bullshit on your face” referring to my emo makeup, she then shoved me down on my bed because I stood up so I could go wash off my makeup. She told me I look like a hooker (not for the first time) and told me to change. I know she’s going to do something to apologize then act like she never did anything, but I remember this shit vividly. I did give myself a new cut but, I’m going to go to bed now because I have school, but this is the stuff I have to deal with constantly.

The Algorithm appears to enjoy my sappy posts, so this one should get record hits.

I'm a shit mom.

And now I'm crying, so let's unpack this.

I literally just had therapy yesterday and told her everything was great and I'm back to another low today. Fuck this.

I'm a shit mom. I just got done re-rocking my son back to sleep secretly praying he won't hate me when he's older and apologizing to him that he and his sister have a shit mom.

And I know what you're saying, "if you were a shit mom you wouldn't be doing any of that".

But I still am. I'm back at work and I do NOT have the energy to take care of students, coworkers (yes coworkers), friends, my administration, my husband, my students' parents, and my kids. Who the fuck has the emotional bandwidth to handle all of that? SO I'm writing here in my office, in the dark, crying quietly so I don't rewake both of the kids back up while my husband is downstairs with our friend probably wondering where the fuck I am.

When I get downstairs, I'm going to be working. So I'm not even done with my day yet. AND I haven't walked in fuck knows how long because I'm too tired and using every loophole I can not to right now. Although to be fair, when a friend drives almost 3 hours into town I don't want to waste 15 minutes walking. But I can sit there for 2 hours working while in the same room?! I don't know.

I'm literally a mess right now and I don't know what to do. I am so paralyzed by all of the shit that needs done and all the thoughts in my head. I just want headphones, music that'll soothe my soul, and bed.

But I teach. And it's August. That's a fucking pipe dream.

OH. And we're selling my car tomorrow. First car I bought honestly. From my grandmother (so yes it was cheap, and yes when she died they forgave my debt, so it's fuzzy on how honestly I bought it). So I'm having massive guilt even though the woman never got to drive it (old, starting stages of dementia, it wasn't great), and it's not like it's a memory thing. I'm just overly sentimental and can't ever let anything go because gods forbid I get rid of something.

I'm so tired.

I'm...so tired.

Goodnight Void. Thanks for listening.

My daughter at 6 in the morning: Mom, can you teach me how to read a clock?

Me, having been rudely awakened by the request: Yes. The clock says, "Leave me alone!!!!"

And they were roomates~

Alex /she/her (Right) is Wilfred’s biological mom, while Laurel /they/them (left) is the human landlord they’re living with. They met online when they were teens and they’ve been best friends ever since!

My queerphobic parents keep on telling me I'm going to Hell but we live in Indiana! How is Hell any worse?

[mama-ghostie-61542]

Hey, Y'all. Could I get some hugs and encouragement from those dealing with crazy, unsupportive moms??

A little back story, my mother has never really been supportive of my decisions or my dreams. She has been the original helicopter mom, doing reports for me before I had the chance, typing all of my papers before I could, and generally comandeering all of my decisions. She used to waffle back and forth between heli and neglect. Over my 44 years in her presence, I have learned to just agree to keep the peace and do what I want later; flying under the radar as it were.

Flash forwards to yesterday and she texts me that she has an application for the local diner for me. The boss has finally gotten desperate enough that he will hire me for the hours she said I am available and the app is only red tape. I really don't know who she gaslit into doing this, but it bothers me that she would still try to force my hand.

Mind, I JUST opened the commissions side of my Ko-fi shop on 1Jan. She was not happy about this and has been on me to "get a real job". She has never wanted to see me succeed, but this is a little ridiculous.

My dilemma is thus, do I go tomorrow morning and explain this to the owner, or do I wait until I have the actual application in hand and turn it in blank with the explaination as to why?

Honestly, this is just another one of her attempts to undermine my decisions and make me doubt my ability to do anything on my own. Like she did when I got married and when we bought this house.

I'm sorry to rant and ramble, but I'm just a little disgusted at her, for the moment.

Not to compare traumas but have you ever been continuously grilled and punished by your narcissist mother about constantly making you both run out of minutes/wifi so you stop using your phone all together for a while only for it to keep happening until one day you see her turning on YouTube in her car to play music and ask her how often she uses that little music app and she says every day on her way to and from work (a 2 hr round trip at the time) and you realize it’s never been you using the data and now you have to EXPLAIN to her everything or live in the same cycle and and and-

I always searched for my real mom.

The one that would care for me.

Give me the love I always deserved.

Take care of me the way a mother would.

Put me first.

I spent so much time searching,

I never took the time to do any of these things for myself.
