Very true... Some people just handle it differently, I suppose. I probably shouldn't have asked the question, but it was a way for starting a topic that I was thinking about at the time. I can relate to not being the closest with my mother, either... It's a big step that you made to move out...

Welcome! Nothing wrong with being Anonymous. I'm sure that I'll come across your writing :).

I'd lived in my first apartment for a few months, and the doors were nowhere near safe from anyone to decide from intruding if they wanted to. It's never a bad idea to invest in some pepper spray or a baseball bat.

Aw, man... I've been trying to focus really hard on the positives of it. I think that this family member will feel much happier being in Georgia. At least, that's what I'm hoping for them after all of this is done. This road trip could be a good change for the both of us. And I definitely agree...

Three words: Crazy. Busy. Week. This is the most productive that I've been months. Maybe years. I've been helping an adoptive relative by packing and cleaning their house for the last couple weeks, barely being able to work (DoorDash), and I'll be following behind this relative on their way to...

Thank you, but I'm well aware of both of my birth parents... I wouldn't say that I was diagnosing them, even though I have studied Psychology enough to know their behaviors and patterns. Both of their personalities, really. And it wasn't to label them in a damaging or hurtful way, it's just the...

Welcome! I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say, "Really don't know how to do this. I have never done it before." But if it's what I'm thinking, it just take a little time to get into writing about topics that interest you. As far as not introducing yourself yet, it's understandable...

Hello 😁

More than I can begin to list... The first time I experienced any childhood trauma was when I was five years old. My family had this neighbor with two children, Jessica and Jeremy. Jeremy was a teenage kid who'd just gotten his Driver's License, and had a pick-up truck. Long story short: He ran...

I can sympathize with you all too well. And I'm very sorry that your father wasn't there for your graduation. Both of my parents were full-blown narcissists, and I think the best thing they ever did was get a divorce while me and my siblings were still young. My father was the exact same way...

Thank you... Unfortunately, I'd never gotten the chance to publish my poems. I used to have them all written down on notebook paper and I never thought to make copies of them. Somewhere over time, I ended up losing almost all of them (I'm pretty sure that a family member threw them away, whether...

I wasn't able to find a thread on Romance/ Relationships, but I figure that this topic has been related more with mental health from Psychology studies. And this is something that I'm very interested in knowing how others feel about it. What are your thoughts/feelings on age-gap relationships...

I have wanted to be a writer since I was about 10 years old. I wrote sooooo much poetry during middle school. I would try to get into writing short stories, but I could never finish them. Poetry was my biggest outlet for my creative side, and it felt like it was my calling. I'd always wanted to...

I've recently started going back to therapy/counseling (my second appointment is tomorrow). It's long overdue and I just hope that it's going to be worth it. Sometimes, I still don't think I'm ready... I'm not prepared for the tough questions that I'm going to have to answer, but I need to do it...

Not shy haha... Just usually quiet in-person. Writing helps, though. 😝 It's nice that there is someone else who is new. I hope that you're enjoying it so far. Those are very kind of words... Thank you very much. And it's very true; life has a way of making us forget. My adoptive father has known...
