My brother and I haven't spoken in over a year, he's so incredibly toxic but the straw that broke the camels back was him telling me "You'd think cancer would humble but nope" I have grade 4 Astrocytoma/Glioblastoma (terminal brain cancer). He told me this because I got sick of him complaining about our dad when he continued to enable him.
Story 5 - I feel for you writer. I too was abandoned by my mom at a young age and raised by my dad. My mom would sporadically make a phone call in my youth, but not much effort was made to make a connection between us. Years later I got a call from her, she was living on the opposite side of the country and told me that she was 2 years sober from alcohol. I never knew she was struggling with addiction but I was happy to hear from her. This didn’t mend all of the distance between us, nor the psychological impact her absence made on me. But I finally was able to have a little bit of understanding as to why she could not be there for me. I believe for our writer, your mother is dealing with her own demons. And we may never know what they are, but we can focus on ourselves to look forward to the future. If you decide to be a mother, give your child everything you did not have. I had to go to therapy to work out these issues. Something that my therapist recommended to me and I will pass to you - write a letter to your mom. Write a letter to her of all the things you wish she could say to her, all the hurtful things, all the things that impacted your life, the doubts that she put in you. Everything. Put it all on paper. Then read it out loud as if she was in front of you. Let the emotions flow from you, and then burn it. It’s a good way to get all of those spoken traumas out in the open. And then you may start to feel some bit of closure. And if not, I encourage you to seek therapy to see what other help there may be there for you. Sending love your way. You are worthy of love, even if she doesn’t give/recieve it. It is a privilege to be in your life, not a right. ❤
For story #2 I didnt go to my grandpa's funderal and i don't regret it. He or my step grandma never accepted me for being transgender. I remember that DNA doesn't mean family. I think if she and her mom shouldn't feel gulity if they don't go. Especially if there is going to be drama
For story 1 : I personally have never been in a situation like this but my question is why does dad never host ? Why does your mom always have to be the mediator and tell him to come over as if you guys aren’t his family ? If worst comes to worst i would say stay with your mom because she’s the one who never had a relationship change her feelings about her kids.
21:08 a narc will NEVER respect boundaries. They will only realize they cannot control you and move on to another source. With that they may try to destroy your life as well. They do not care about others.
First story. I think it’s important for the father to be given the option. This may also be a way to help make future Christmas’s less awkward. But ultimately, you should give your dad the choice.
Lol my cats watch with me but they prefer silence. 😂If you need views I out on some father know episodes at the office when my co wkenr has the radio on and I just put the browser on silent 😂
24:46 one of my fav sayings is something along the lines of “Just because we share blood, doesn’t mean I need to keep bleeding for you.”
Well waking up in the middle of the night wide awake had one plus 😅 never been this early lmao, excited to hang with the boys 😎🤣
Thank god. Heart is hurting at the moment I definitely needed you guys right now. Thank you FKS❤
Hang in there
You're in my thoughts Zindy. Sending you love, light and all positive high vibrations. You got this, strength is one of your many strong points 🪩💜🔮🪬

Oh my god so cruel! Sending you lots of love
Thank you! Luckily I'm going on almost 2 years now of clear MRIs ❤
What a vile human! So sorry you went through that and SO glad to hear your scans are coming back clear!!
Story 4 - if the mom gave the test - I'm guessing that was her way of sharing the info & is waiting for the child to come to her with questions ❤
Orrrr what if there was a mix up at the clinic.. My mind went to that Netflix documentary -M

Having a parent reject you is such a difficult thing to deal with!
