  • I was the first of my siblings to cut contact with my dad and stepmom. I had to really consider how I would feel when my dad died, if I cut contact, I didn’t want to regret it.
    My stepmom was abusive and my dad always chose her over our safety.
    Now all but one of my siblings have cut contact.
    They tell people we ghosted them. They reach out regularly to try to contact us. I’ve realized it’s because they feel bad about themselves and it’s never about knowing us or caring about us. Half the messages they send us say stuff about how we are going to hell and we need to find Jesus.

    The hardest part is explaining to people with normal families, they never understand that parents who can’t love you exist, and that a big happy reconciliation wouldn’t be a good thing.



  • Let’s not assume every garden has the same Eurocentric seasonal variation on lemmy.

    I’m mid season right now. Planting usually starts in October but our rain was super late this year.

    Lots of weeding and trying to get my summer veggies started. I usually stop planting anything by June.

    Gophers decimated most of my greens and peas, so I’m basically turning my vegetable garden into plant jail. Still have potatoes going they should be ready soon.

    I also have friendly raccoons who love digging up my plants, tossing them aside to look for insects. They got so mad about my plant protectors last week I heard them fighting trying to break in.
