What's Bothering You?

Why does my dad have to be so controversial and disagreeable? I'm not reciting what he's said as I don't want to spark any argument, but the stuff he says is pretty ****ing aggravating. (And it's a provincial thing so I don't know if many people would fully understand.)

My dad isn't a terrible person, but his political (?) ideas are frustrating, to say the least. He really likes to think he's progressive for someone born in the late 20th century, but his views seem to be a little skewed.
 
My cat is really poorly - he’s been recently diagnosed with pancreatitis and we think he has an underlying issue that’s caused it (possibly a kidney infection). My partner and I have spent the past week crying and worrying because he hasn’t been eating or drinking properly. He has lost a lot of weight it’s heartbreaking to see him look so rough. We’re trying everything to get him on the mend, I just hope he gets better. He’s only just turned 2 years old and he’s our baby 😔 please keep him in your thoughts and send any positive vibes this way for us ❤️‍🩹

If anybody has gone through something similar and has any success stories or tips (he’s a fussy eater) I’d be very grateful to hear them.
My poorly little handsome man ❤️❤️

"YOUR BROTHERS..ARE COVERED..IN PLASTICINE AND MUD!"
GIRL I told my mama this when they were out again this morning in McDonalds LOL and we were laughing so much because it sounds like that is what they are chanting and now this is all we shall hear when they do this
 
Just feeling really frustrated about last night. I busted my ass off cleaning and doing laundry and I didn't get a single thanks in return. My parents were asleep and my brother was playing games with his friend who was staying over so I was stuck doing all the chores.

Also, our washer broke last night and was filled with water, so I had to manually drain all the water from the dirty clothes and put them in a basket in the bathtub. I didn't know what else to do, so I went to my parents for help, which is the opposite of what I got. My dad just dismissed the problem and said "whatever, I'll fix it in the morning, just let me sleep" and my step-mom got mad at me 'cause my voice was too 'loud' and 'panicky'. I'm sorry, did you want me to not tell you at all?

Ugh, I shouldn't be mad about this still, but I'm known to hold grudges. :/ Also just not having a good start to my day, but whatever.
 
Now I am PISSED OFF thank you VERY ****ING MUCH cos someone sprayed BLM on my front door in red paint and I literally live here with my mama and brothers and we are all black or black mixed so why the **** would they do this and what point to they feel they making with this and btw ALL LIVES MATTER mine ours theirs yours and I am sick and tired of being ****ing patronised already by people who probably are not even a little bit black or if they are then they are using it as an excuse to hate and making black elders like my mama cry her eyes out and fear going outside
 
On Monday - my family stands in court with a man who stalked us, blackmailed us, committed home invasion several times, and nearly killed one of us. Terrorized our family for over 5 years and made life hell.

I could easily get out of it. I'm attending to show support towards my family. In the end I suppose it's the most important thing we have. I've had issues and disputes with my family, but this man is pure evil.

I do wish they had requested a police escort. There's a big chance he's going to stalk us or cause an altercation. Or, because he's affiliated with gangs in the area, send one of them to try something. (which is what he's done in the past).

At least it'll hopefully be the end of this, and we'll never have to see him ever again.

It's going to be quite a day. Hard for me to feel excited about Easter.
 
I have a good home, stable income, a loving partner, kind friends and a bright academic career ahead of me…. so why do I feel so alone? Why do I cry when I see skinny cats and sob as I lay in the grass, making daisy chains longer than my life? Why does my mind relentlessly run away every hour of the day and why must I always wonder ‘why’?
