I’ll stick around for the next hour for you :slight_smile:

You’ve done everything right, and pampered her more than most even think to, and now you’re doing her one last service. She couldn’t have a better family than you two

@Gontranno47 is right, you’ve done everything right, and you’ve given her a wonderful home.

It’s done. Oh my God, she’s gone! It doesn’t feel real. But I closed the circle, did for her what I couldn’t for Peggy before her. We did it right. She’s at rest now, in no more pain. But I miss her so much already. Thank you all for your support. I’m gonna be a wreck for a while. Allow me to share my last picture of her.

It doesn’t feel right, but you’ve done the right thing. Neither of you are going to be okay for a while, and I know there’s things to arrange and take care of, but remember to take care of yourselves too. It’s normal to grieve and that’ll take as long as it takes.

You know we’ll be here for you through this :slight_smile:

I wish you lots of strength. It’s never easy to lose a family member. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

I’m feeling very conflicted,that I can’t even explain, I’ll try to put everything in context, but I need to load off a little.

I don’t know the woman who gave birth to me, I have only two (maybe three ) memories of her and neither of them are positive…though one of them isn’t a huge deal if you are older than 5 y/o.
So; this woman just died a few weeks ago.
What you have to know, that I have a half brother, who grew up with her… we are on speaking terms, but ever since I live abroad, we barely speak to each other.
So one day, at work, my boss told me, that my phone is blowing up, I should check it.
Several missed calls from my parents and a message from my mother to call her, because my brother can’t get a hold of me. ( my stepmom actually, but I always looked at her as a mother figure)
I told my boss, that it’s very weird, either my lilbro gets married or my biological mother died. - as a joke
I called her, I’ve joked with it again, but she did confirmed it, that yes, she is dead.
My direct response was: ā€˜Welp. Anyway how are you?’
After that it started bugging me, that I don’t feel grief, but I should to some extent, at least out of respect. There is a little sadness though, because now I can’t get to know her… yet I had/have no desire to.
After that, this kind of… emptiness turned into anger, then into a giant question mark.
When her autopsy was done, it revealed, that she died of pneumonia.
According to my brother she wasn’t well for months on end, even had a spitbucket filled with vomit and coughed up blood.
She refused to go to see a doctor, instead she bought a cough medicine, saying that doctors would prescribe the same.
In short, she got sick with something minor, very treatable… cured in a few days.Left it untreated for god knows how long; Eventually her lungs collapsed, filled up with blood and choked on it.

It bothers me to no end, that I’m angry at her for dying in very stupid way, yet idgaf about her.

So I’ve finally realised why my new TV Tropes account was banned with no further explantation; this one mod named Fighteer is a raging asshole.

And don’t take it from me, even Tropers before me have said Fighteer has a history of being an abusive little shit.

Apparently he was also behind the mega-popular Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads being shut down permanently.

Because of this one asshole’s grudge against me, I can’t edit or even message the Moderators again.

What a loser

An asshole and a loser, with power over other people’s rights and privileges. Seems to be going around.

Hello :slight_smile: I don’t know the circumstances between you and your birth mother, but it’s okay not to feel a sense of loss from her death. It sounds like she wasn’t a major part of your grown life, and that’s why this didn’t have an emotional effect on you. But at the same time, she was your biological mother and so often is the case that we want to get to know someone after we find out that’s no longer possible :confused:
You don’t have to be heartbroken by her death, it’s okay to just respect that she was here, and be concerned for the way she went. You can have concern for her without needing to be 100% invested. Maybe there’s someone you can talk to, to get to know her better?

And if you can’t get anywhere with that, maybe this could at least be a reminder to reach out to someone you haven’t contacted in a long while :slight_smile:

Well, it took several days of emailing more moderators, but my account was finally approved. Don’t have much big plans with the account, just fixing a bunch of stuff and editing a few media pages.

Being in a blossoming relationship has been great. This wont be the typical Serious Post. It’s very good, emotional it’s been healing, physically it’s been intense.

They’re always reading my body language, how I react to things. Their form of love and affection isn’t as clear, but I’ve picked up on the behavior to where I can identify it.

But it becomes very clear when they do things that makes me tick. Previous thoughts don’t exist anymore when this happens and they’re always telling me how cute I get when it happens. It’s a moment where I need composure cause the feelings are very intense. They ask me why I do that, and I explain that when I close my eyes and take deep breaths after that it’s just me attempting to regulate myself so it doesn’t go into pure instinct mode where I’m making decisions purely off impulse and desire rather than decisions with thought behind them.

The issue, is they know that composing myself can only do so much. Overload can and will happen, they know how to push buttons and the things that make us tick work in tandem and synergies extremely well. In a way it can be viewed as exploitative. But fortunately when boundaries are pushed between them and I. Consent comes first.

Found out my boss and another superior call me transphobic nicknames behind my back and keep joking around every time I use the toilet if I sit down or stand up for it.

Also they call me ā€œitā€.

This in addition to saying I have no brain cells whenever I make a mistake.

We don’t have an HR department cause it’s a small company.

But also the last job I had an issue like this at, HR told me it was my fault for not establishing clear boundaries. HR often likes to defend the employer, not the employee.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. The boss no less. I say try and find a new job, a small company with assholes as bosses don’t deserve any employees.
