    AA sucks.

    Empathy does not mean forgiveness. I have empathy for a few of my family members. It doesn't mean I associate with them. I don't think about them. I certainly don't let them live in my head rent free, which is basically what you're doing. The opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy.

    AA sucks.

    You need to get help with your anger. You are absolutely justified in feeling the way you do - but you need to find a way to work through it. I've noticed you go on these spirals every so often. That means you have a lot of unresolved pain. I don't believe AA can do that for you. You need...

    My boyfriend is threatening to dump me because of me getting medical guardianship. Is that reasonable?

    Oh ... well, if you were to have gotten pregnant who would be financially responsible for any offspring? It would be them. If they have medical guardianship then they can have you placed on birth control to prevent an unplanned pregnancy. I think I see the issue here.

    My boyfriend is threatening to dump me because of me getting medical guardianship. Is that reasonable?

    So I went back and read some more. Found that you said this: It was because I was impulsive in the past and wanted to “protect me.” What does that mean? How were you impulsive, what happened and when?

    My boyfriend is threatening to dump me because of me getting medical guardianship. Is that reasonable?

    Trying to get a better feel of the situation. If you were to have said you were "dating" a guy online that you had never met who lived in Africa I would have a different answer than if you were dating a local guy who lives near you. I guess I'm not clear on why your parents think they need to...

    My boyfriend is threatening to dump me because of me getting medical guardianship. Is that reasonable?

    How often do you see him (in real life I mean). Does he live in the same city as you?

    My boyfriend is threatening to dump me because of me getting medical guardianship. Is that reasonable?

    How long have you been with your boyfriend? How often do you see him? How did you meet him? You said you're 29, how old is he? Again, I apologize if you said any of this already. thx

    My boyfriend is threatening to dump me because of me getting medical guardianship. Is that reasonable?

    Do you live independently? If not, where do you live? Do you work? I am withholding judgement for now. Sorry if you already mentioned it - I just scanned the thread.

    Debate: Christmas movies on Christmas?

    Not a huge fan of Christmas movies. In fact, this year I don't think I watched any of them. in the past though I quite enjoy Bad Santa or Christmas Vacation.

    how does my outfit look?

    Which outfit? You mean the black and white photo? Gotta say it's a bit odd. You're wearing a very long coat with socks and then crocs. The coat almost resembles a bathrobe and slippers. It might be better if the coat came down past the hips, then if you wore jeans with maybe boots.

    I hate winter poll!

    I don't mind it too much, although towards the end (around the end of March) I just want it to be over with. I sleep better in winter, so I feel better overall. And it's cozy. I can't explain it. The other day I looked out my window as the sun was setting. Everything was white and the sky was...

    Something bad happened to me today

    I guarantee you that every one of those people forgot about you about 10 minutes after this happened. Don't worry about it.

    How Does One Process Death of a Companion?

    I'm sorry you're going through this. And yes, I know what it's like - the combination guilt and sadness. I had a cat I had to have put down a few years ago, he had bladder cancer. The bad thing about this cancer and where it was located is that there was no way of knowing "when" would be the...
