I assume she'd been trying to walk on it and slipped. She's shaking her back leg on occasion and I can't tell if she's hurt it? Stuff like this makes me really nervous, she's getting up there and definitely isn't as spry as she once was.
My tailbone hurts so much
the tiny toddler chairs are so cute but my goodness I tried to do some stretches and I just feel super lousy thank god it’s the weekend hopefully some rest helps it
I'm so sorry to hear this, xara. It's never easy to learn that your suspicions are correct. I don't know if you read or not, but if you do, I'd look into this book Children of the Self-absorbed. It really validates the feeling of children with self-absorbed parents, but in almost a clinical way, not a rosy, wishy-washy way, if that makes sense. Sounds like your grandmother was an amazing woman. If it were me, it'd snag that journal and keep it and hide it somewhere safe. Having that connection to your grandmother will help you throughout the rest of your life. Having her actual thought written in her actual handwriting - that's something special. ❤my mother continued to go through my grandmother’s things today, and found a journal of hers from 2009. in the journal, my grandmother wrote about the child neglect and verbal abuse i was put through by my mother; a result of her untreated mental illness.
i don’t remember much of my childhood. i’m not sure if i blocked it out, but there’s so many memories that i don’t have, memories that i’m not sure are even real and so many bad memories that i can’t forget. so, i read the journal.
it was bad lol.
i learnt that the various memories that i have of my mother threatening to call children’s aid on me to make me behave are real; that despite what i’ve thought for so many years, my grandmother did know that my mother had depression; that me thinking that my mother seemed to love the cats more than me wasn’t necessarily all in my head, and that she noticed it, too; that my grandmother tried to help me. and of course, i’ve saved the best part for last;
“sometimes i think that she (my mother) is embarrassed or ashamed that -my birth name- is not what is considered average normal.”
cool.
it was not. I don't condone lying, but you know, at that moment, it was the correct choice.
Yeah, sorry, it tasted weird, like onion or some weird seasoning I couldn't make out. I prefer my fries to taste like ordinary potatoes with lots of salt on it.^ngl i love truffle so i'll have it haha... sorry it tasted **** though, always suck when u dont like stuff
yeah i gotcha i just love basically anything truffle, it's defo an acquired taste
