Woot!
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Go, askye! Congratulations!
For any of you wondering, the convo between my mom and SiL's mom was fine. She called my mom just to say she was sorry this was happening and how she loves my bro and our family, yada yada. Weird timing, though. Will try to keep my head from exploding before actual events next time.
Here, have this video highly recommended by my 6yo: [link]

GC, you can come here and explode anytime. You were worried about your mom and how all of this is affecting her. That's completely understandable.
I need a filter for facebook that will only let me see cute pictures and geeky things until after the election.

Yeah, the problem with most people on my friends list hating Trump is that it still puts his rage-inducing face on my feed, because people keep posting articles about him.
ION, Jesus Christ, is therapy hard. HARRRRRRRRD. My brother, who is as fucked up as I am, started therapy in February when I went out there after he relapsed. And he texted me over the summer and said (paraphrased) "I go in to my therapy appointments thinking I'm going to talk about one thing, and it ALWAYS comes back to our parents."
And THAT shit? Is SO FUCKING TRUE. I thought I had dealt with my shit from my childhood (and teens and 20s and and and), but apparently I have not. I mean, my therapy in my 30s really did help me, especially w/r/t setting boundaries and enforcing them (though it works better with Mom than with Dad, but that's another story). But there is SO. MUCH. SHIT. left to drag out and punch in the face. Damn it. I really thought I had dealt with it and moved on.

Thanks. I'm so happy and I was confident and at ease which is good. Even better the internal critic is being really silent right now. Which is new and different and good.

Congrats, askye!
Steph, that sucks. But it's great that you're pushing through it. I hope that things get easier as you go along.
