Dee said:My back has been hurting me a lot. Actually, plenty of my body has been hurting a lot and I'm hoping a couple trips to the doctors will be able to settle this once and for all. It just sucks having so many things wrong with you and having to spend all that time and money trying to fix it.
You must dump them out of the can and into your handI can't fit my hand inside a Pringle Can.
Like, what the fuck, so, four inches in, and I'm done, no more chips for me? How's that fair? Then, I tried to tip it and the crumbs spill all over my face. Also, did Pringles want to be a tennis ball company at first?
I hope it wasn't done with malicious intentMy childhood friend who knows I've been transitioning and knows my name asked if she could send me a Christmas card. I said that it was fine, and the card came in today. Well she signed it with my damn dead name! She's sent me a card either last year or the year before with the correct name in the card, but not on the envelope... I threw it away immediately. I don't know if I should confront her about it or not. She also didn't address it to my spouse this year, but previous years she did.

Of course, that's a name that causes pain, that's not who you are, and doesn't 'connect' with you as a person. I understand, completely, and fingers crossed it was an honest mistake.Yeah that's what I was thinking that it was a fluke. We've known each other for 20 years now, it did take a bit for my parents to come around too and use the right name, so it's understandable. It did still stung a bit, not gonna lie.
"lost" as in no longer friends? or "lost" as in passed away?I lost a friend today, but oh well I guess...I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Me helping him with his hobby was more important. Some people can be so complicated.
There are other people out there in the world. Its no different than friends in high school, they come and go and its been 12 years since I've seen any one I went to school with.
No longer friends. Almost all of my friendships in my life have been on the short term."lost" as in no longer friends? or "lost" as in passed away?

.....& it's getting worse!
Exactly!
I'm upset that my trust was betrayed by someone i held dear. I'm angry that when i attempt to talking it through with them, that they become highly defensive and angry with me. And now i am stuck in a limbo of what to do, because i can't work through this and gain back anything i might have had with them, unless they communicate with me. It has upended my life. Thrown me and I'm scared for my future.What do you need to vent about?
Tell us what's bothering you at the moment.
I'm tired of my parents asking me the same goddamn question everyday.
A long time ago, my mother used to do this all of the time and I found it to be very upsetting. It'd be the same round of questions that I had answered the previous day before and it was annoying. I felt like I was talking to someone who had dementia. I quit talking to my mom for almost a year because I felt like she didn't care and it was a waste of my time.
Presently we're on good terms. It's taken a long time for us to get there.Did you ever try to figure out why your mom did this?
I think a lot of ppl can be troublesome in their teens though. Not a legit reason to disown anyone IMO.Presently we're on good terms. It's taken a long time for us to get there.
On this particular subject, no I haven't asked her. But we did talk about why we conflicted so much and that's because she was upset with what I did when I was a little kid to a young adult. She said I would always embarrass her because I was always in trouble at school and I never did as I was told. She said it took her a long time to get over a lot of the things I did. She's not lying, but I wish she would have gone about it differently.
