Things I haven’t said out loud this week

1 - No, we haven’t asked you to come over for a meal in ages, no, I don’t care how many hints you drop, it’s falling on deaf ears.
I don’t expect you to help prepare or cook when you’re here BUT I do expect you to supervise your kids, not plonk down on the sofa and completely ignore them. Accidents may happen but if you actually looked after them instead of scrolling through your phones, we wouldn’t have had a house plant tipped over the carpet, used toilet roll and wee on the toilet floor, orange juice poured in the dogs bowl plus numerous others. Oh and by the way, we’ve never been invited over to your house in the eight years you’ve lived there!

2 - Im sorry your daughter would rather spend time with her gran but for god’s sake be honest, you spent the first ten years of her life bouncing from one disastrous relationship to another because you were desperate for a bloke. You put them in front of her needs. Her gran might not be perfect but at least she was there for her.

Don’t be so bloody passive aggressive, and stop sending me your work to check. I’m not your team leader.

Oh this thread is back! 🙌

I'm wasting my life, and it's so sad.

Ditto 😔

BadBadDecisions · 22/11/2023 08:57

I am doing my best to let myself feel all the feelings and let them go. Let you go.

But I'm lonely.

And if I'm honest I'll always hope we'll somehow find our way back, despite everything that means for everyone around us. I'd have risked it for you.

Tintjam · 22/11/2023 09:11

Tired of dealing with all the unpleasant, selfish, rude and unhelpful people in the world. There seem to be so many of them now. Just tired of it.

I'm not a fan of Rose wine, yet we always have to have it because YOU like it. I much prefer white but you moan if I get that. I spend my money every week on Rose when I see you. I DO NOT WANT ROSE.

Stop making me spend my money, just because you spend every penny you ever have.

Why did you send me that ? I'm not sure what context to read it in.

You really didn't explain that very well. You keep that piece of work to yourself and act like you think the rest of us are not capable of doing it. You like to think that the company could fall apart on this piece of work if you were not there. Well, that is just not true. You have the team scared to push one button as you have explained the dire consequences of making a mistake, about a million times. We are capable. Everything can be undone if needed. We know what we are doing. Stop fucking obsessing.

I can't do this anymore. Why were you not born normal. I love you but often I don't like you. I feel like I have neglected you at times in terms of pushing you/developmental but you are old enough to do things for yourself, yet you refuse. I have to work. I cannot baby sit you all day everyday You are going to give me a breakdown.

Tidsleytiddy · 22/11/2023 10:57

Why can’t you afford me the same courtesy that I show you? I’m the best person in your life but you still can’t be bothered to treat me with respect.

Stop fucking sugar-coating and papering over the cracks. Who do you ask for advice? No one. You plough ahead then text me with utter bullshit and lies. Then you call me a friend. Well I’m not am I. I’m just someone you’ve known a long time and whom you can’t stand anything good happening to

@floweringinferno
Unfortunately there are so many things in life we have no control over so choices are limited. But please stop buying stuff to please others and spend your money on your own preferred choices.

Psychoticbreak · 22/11/2023 11:10

I miss you. My heart feels like it is missing a piece of its jigsaw puzzle. I would give anything to give us another try despite everything that has happened. I love you so much :(

BadBadDecisions · 22/11/2023 11:38

Every song breaks my fucking heart again.

"Your lack of health literacy is astonishing. How have you made it to adulthood?"

Toooldtoworry · 22/11/2023 21:12

Why do I always do this to myself.

XenoBitch · 22/11/2023 21:14

I heard you, man in the pub. Demanding to see your new girlfriend's phone and delete all male contacts (that are not family). I heard you scrutinise every single one. Some were friends she had known for years.
I hope she wakes up and dumps your controlling ass.

Yup me too.

Gingernaut · 22/11/2023 23:12

I'm so fat, I'm digging a grave with my own mouth

The heartburn is killing me and I can barely toilet and wash myself

I'm so ashamed

I hate my binge eating and comfort eating

soundofsilence8 · 22/11/2023 23:16

Please just hold me.

SleepingStandingUp · 22/11/2023 23:22

No I'm not ok. I don't know how to make the kids behave and when you say "oh I don't know how you do it" it just makes me feel like it's sarcasm because I'm clearly failing and it makes me cry because I feel so overwhelmed. All I feel like I feel is overwhelmed or angry or numb. Anything else is fleeting. I feel like I'm fucking up everything and all I want to do is sleep. I just want to switch everything off and hide for a month. I want nicer children who act like adorable, friendly 4 year olds instead of crazed, rambunctious mad 4 year olds but I don't know how to. Stop telling me I'm doing a good job when we both know it's a fucking lie.

Toooldtoworry · 06/12/2023 13:55

Pets die, this happens. As awful as it is you don't need to post time hops every bloody year on Facebook for a decade about it. You also don't need to post what you are watching, how hard it is to get through to SEND at the council, or every minute detail of your life and also if you complain about how hard your 90 minutes per day of work you do and how grateful you are it's Friday EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND I think I'll snap. Also the pictures of your son in hospital after having an operation because of your negligence after 9 years is getting boring now.

I'm not racing to the bottom but compared to most you live a charmed life, and that takes into account the SEN child you have.

Also whilst I am here, no I am not leaving my house to your son in it's entirety so that he has 'somewhere mortgage and rent free' to live when I die when we have 5 children between us and I am the one who funded the property and he is not my son.

Entitled much

Let's all be more like Michelle, then.

XenoBitch · 07/12/2023 00:14

You might have various disabilities, but they do not excuse you from being an abelist cunt. You prevented someone with ASD from reaching his safe person, escalated things and called the police. You watched some random person restrain him mid-meltdown, cause him injury, and now want him banned from the same venue where his support groups are held.
You work for the council as a disability advocate. I hope you get fucking sacked.

Christmasmug · 07/12/2023 00:27

No, it's nothing you have done, it's that disgusting POS you're married to, again. Yes, someone else important to you is, once again, distancing themselves from you because of him, I know you can feel it happening and I know deep down you know why.

That sounds like something that perhaps should be said? Just a thought from an outsider.

coxesorangepippin · 07/12/2023 01:27

I can't believe my husband's family haven't called this week to see how we are!

Shocking really

Definitely, and it will be said when the time is right for me. It's taken months of therapy for me to feel strong enough but I'm finally about there and when the right moment presents itself I know exactly what I want/need to say now. It's hard because it's going to be like chucking a hand grenade into my family but you're right, it absolutely does need to be said.

Tidsleytiddy · 07/12/2023 11:45

Dear oh dear. You won’t be rushing to come here again will you. Go and stew in your own jealous bile. You’ve really excelled yourself now and Ive been right all along. I knew I was
