That AARP article is so goodquote:"My parents have told me repeatedly that they don't believe in divorce,” says Mariana Olenko, 52, of New York City. “Even though I'm divorced — and a divorce lawyer."

BrigadierSensible posted:Am I over-reading into this, or is there some racism involved here? As in this is from a crazy white lady who adopted a black, or hispanic baby, (to give it a better life and opportunities that it wouldn't have had in "those" communities)? All the stuff about her "genetic pre-disposition" and the way she damns with faint praise how well the girl is doing at school due to her IQ, (which others like her don't have) makes me think that here is a racist undercurrent to this story. Which may be why the mother and daughter haven't bonded sufficiently for the crazy lady's taste. There's another post this lady made where she talks about the child having their IQ tested and being significantly above average.

I lived with a boyfriend in his parents house in Ohio. They were fairly wealthy and had a giant mansion-like house, and one room that was roped- off, that his crazy mother rarely let anyone allow to walk inside. She called it her princess room, and it was basically a shrine to Princess Diana. White carpet, fancy velvet couch, hundreds of Diana portraits in golden frames, dolls that looked like Diana (so many dolls), Diana memorabilia, magazine covers, books, etc etc. But best of all, a gigantic clear glass grand piano with a gigantic picture of Princess Diana's face on the top of it, with the word "FOREVER". I'll never forget that room, i'll never forget how horrible his mother was, and i'll never forget peeing in the middle of her perfectly white carpet in that creepy room before I moved away forever.

Elderbean posted:There are lots of people out there who think the words "I'm sorry" are a magical incantation that means the other person has to forgive you. They say they're sorry constantly without actually meaning it, when the other person doesn't forgive them (while also admitting that they were wrong) the estranged becomes the victim because "I apologized" Is this something to do with Christianity?

Bruce Boxlicker posted:Well. I did it. My wife and I cut ties with my mother and her husband. Thank you for the support. It's pretty weird coming out of the FOG in real time. I weirdly feel a lot better after that decision and not worse. Starting to see the exact same rage and confused depression in our children after each visit with her was getting way too familiar. Reading in to the matter all day today has made me realize I really need to get her away and start taking better care of myself and our family. This is the mother that is going to become a psychologist right?

Sarah Palin and her Husband Todd are finally getting divorced. I can't help but wonder if we'll ever see some posts from her about being estranged from her children Bristol, Trig, Flap, Willow, Groot , Piper, Keg and Track.

We had a big discussion about food allergies in the boomer thread, basically boomer's can't deal with food allergies existing and will try to 'test' them constantly.

I want the estranged parents forum version of the coconut allergy death story.

Mother's in law almost getting their children or grandchildren killed because they don't believe in allergies seems to be a disturbingly common thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/JUSTNOMIL/search?q=allergy&restrict_sr=on

That's another thing that bothers me about the estranged parents forums. The OP will start a thread and then all the replies will segue (often in the first sentence) into the replier's own story of their estranged children, with no effort made to comment on the OP's situation.

Yeah i'm reading the estranged parents forum and a lot of people are using it as an excuse to get in contact with their estranged children.

# ¿ Mar 20, 2020 01:00 |

From reading the rejected parents forums it seems they think that their estranged children should contact them because of how dangerous the virus is to them (because of their advanced age., and their children are being super selfish by not doing so. And/or they are using the seriousness of the situation as an excuse to try to contact their estranged children. So the virus has basically made them even more sure that they are right and their children are wrong.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:Why is that thread so resistant to bookmarking? I bookmarked it a while back so I could always find it, and I just realized it’s not in my bookmarks. I checked, and it was bookmarked, even though it doesn’t show up in my bookmarks. I un-bookmarked it and re-bookmarked it, but it still doesn’t show up. Maybe cause it's in the goldmine?
