someone died on a man drag of road at about 3pm one day right before christmas. Car accident. I got out of work at 6 and had to take the road home. There was this absolute prick speeding, weaving through traffic and being dangerous. Speeding to the gas station, so I pulled in behind him. I told him somone died just hours earlier on this road from dangerous driving, someone lost thier son right before christmas and asked him to follow traffic laws, and slow down.
he goes, “sweetheart, I got places to be”. I raised my voice, “so does everyone else, that doesnt mean you can speed and potentially kill someone, youre not special”. drove off.
“I got places to be”
people are so selfish.

Im in connecticut and my govenor is up for primary. He’s done okay, but you can tell he is trying to compete with the younger fella up for the D primary. I hope the younger fella wins, but in the meantime 70ish old Lemont is trying to make headlines with “proposals” (nothings passed) that are based on policies that would benefit the working class.
I love to see the fear. I should write the old man and ask him to endorse his younger canidate. Near certain these guys just dont want to give up their comfortable positions of power due to some psycological desire.

My husband, for a number of years, only stayed going for his cat first, and his father second. He happens to have a good relationship with his father, and recognizes he is lucky in this.
Im glad he held out so I could meet him and love him.
Live for whatever you need to, because life is long and there is always potential for better days.

I went through this with my mom. In one of our last conversations, I mentioned that years ago, when I was 18 and lived with her briefly, I took like fourty of her seroquel pills to try and kill myself. “Remember when I slept for three days straight?” And told her what I remembered of that time. Instead of her saying, “oh wow I didnt know that happened” and empathizing or something, she just denied it ever happened, got mad at me and called me a liar.
I never spoke to her again. I dont remember our last words but this one one of the staws for me.
The last time I spoke to my step father, the real abuser, was when I was 16. Letting go of that mess was easy.
Sometimes healing, or “forgiveness” (I hate that word) is in letting go. My Bio dad/mom were both raised pretty fucked up, especially my bio dad, not dissimilar from what ur father went through. I mourn his childhood, but not his death (he died) nor who he was as an adult.
Stay being good to yourself, I hope you find peace and healing in letting go <3

So much in life can change. Life is long. A decade away could be a whole new life for you, one where you no longer feel this way. Even if you feel this is never going to happen for you, all I can say is I felt the same. Then decades pass and I worked on every part of my life until I only had kind people around me. I struggled with suicide ideation from 8 years old to 36/37 years old. And then, one day without me noticing, it just stopped. Because I kicked all the mean folk out, and surrounded my life with good. I learned to accepted myself, flaws and all. There is always tomorrow.
I fed the squirrls peanuts I bought just for them this morning. Its love. Give love, get love. Life gonna beat the shit outta you, but one day it could be better. I have one friend, and three close family members, one of which I popped out myself so idk if that counts. Less people, but good people.
My step father would been happy I offed myself, I never wanted to give him satisfaction. Go for spite, find ur spite and draw hope.
I dont hate you, so go on and please keep exsisting.

Cherish that fact.
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
Its odd both the last names Winter and Shaw appear in my bloodline, though I carry my step fathers last name not these.
I too have wanted to change my last name, and have thought about it often. Id actually go back to my Great, great, grabdmothers name before she married, I think, but I dont know.
Shaw imo is ugly, but common. Winter or Winters is nice.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 4 weeks ago:
I used to play, noting there are a few different play styles for the game. I liked building, and spent most of my time doing as such. Then once done with the build, Id have idea of who would live there, and then make them and move them in. Play the people in live mode for some time, a short time, and move on to the next build. Sometimes id have a favorite character, and Id play them for a longer while.
Its just fun, its an escape of my own situation, and ive always loved architecture and design. Some folks like making big families, there are generational challanges you can do, I only ever got to third gen though, but some folks will go for a long time. My goals were always build my own structure and peoples for evert lot on every map.

- Comment on Anon watches redditors talk about bodycount 4 weeks ago:
This …line of thinking is why my step father wouldnt let me or my sister shower while on the rag in our teens. He had some old ass info, ignored doctors, and my and my sister suffered at the hands of his misinformation. He wouldnt even buy us tampons or pads and we used paper towels.
ita okay to be wrong, but its not okay to spread that info. it can harm women.
- Comment on Anon watches redditors talk about bodycount 4 weeks ago:
Youre not right about this. Im sorry. Some women do douche, but most doctors will advise against using anything like this. Mild soap externally is all that is recomended by most Obgyns.

My (adopted) step father got custody over my mother for my siblings and I. My mother was on disability, so we got SSI checks (like $40 bucks a month per kid, in the late 1990’s.

I really think it was that set of three games, Half Life, Portal, and whatever the other one was.
Where did I get that first xbox 360? I think itbwas given to me or traded… I dont remember, but I think I went out and got Portal as my first ever game purchase.
