Sweet peas are not edible

So we've had these beautiful sweet pea flowers all summer since we moved in and since it's been a bit cooler they developed pea pods my mom comes over tonight to do laundry because her washer broke and tells me they're so good and she ate them as a kid all the time and pops some peas in her mouth so I'm like huh that's cool so I let James pick some and he had about three pods worth and I start googling and turns out they're poisonous! I called poison control and she basically googled the answer and said exactly what I already read but good to have the reassurance. You'd have to eat a pretty large amount to have any scary side effects.

We're back! What a fucking year though. James is now four and my God he is amazing. If any of you remember me you may remember that my last few posts were well ending my marriage I had moved of our house and started a new life and after awhile he got his shit together and we started dating again I still had my place and he had his but he seemed to get it I had changed, I'm not the same person I was at 15 years old and I won't be the same person I am now 10 years from now either after dating for a couple months he moved in with me and we sold our old house in Jan. We moved in with my parents for 2 months and then found our home and moved in on June 1st we're doing great better than ever! I did move up at work and am now a manager. Send me questions if you have any. I 😍 ?s

All moved in. I don't know how Brandons feeling seems like he doesn't have any feelings at all most days which I think is why I'm taking all of this decently. I went to the house to pick up the last of my things today and it looked like he drank himself silly last night. Three bottles by the couch and his moonshine was almost gone so maybe he does feel something idk. I don't plan on living with my brother and his gf forever I hope to rent a two bedroom house eventually and maybe move up at work if need be but I really like being a nobody there. James is handling this really well I don't think he grasps that dad and I aren't together yet he's really excited about his new house. He's got a cold right now so he's crabby and clingy but he's such a trooper and I'm tremendously proud of that amazing 2 1/2 year old

His inner need to feel worthwhile causes him to manipulate people in order to maintain an endless supply of attention, control, status, money, power, or recognition.

No.

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree here.

Yes, these things can mean “I love you.” But they can also mean manipulation, passive-aggression, controlling, i.e. “emotional abuse”. The best way to say “I love you” is to say it— in whatever language, be it spoken or signed— say the words “I love you.”

Seriously, after all my efforts in working through my codependency issues with my manipulative, passive-aggressive family (and multiple past personal and romantic relationships of a similar toxic nature), I’ve had enough of crap like this.

Honestly, all that stuff up there looks more like micromanaging than saying “I love you.”

I think this would be better if it said, “There lots of ways to show someone you care, but the best way is to simply say ‘I love you’.”

everyone i meet is the exact same person in a different body. i’m convinced humanity is made with a machine and there’s an array of certain personalities distributed amongst all the empty shells and i keep meeting the ones labeled “manipulative asshole”

[yourplasticheart-blog]

Is it me? Am I crazy?

He wants you to feel crazy and out of control because it gives him control - and that makes him psychotic. If his friends have been told a different story and they believe it, fuck em. They’ll see the light sooner or later because manipulative people manipulate. And once people are burned, they realize.

There is this cycle of being made to feel like the most amazing person in the entire world, followed by being utterly destroyed by them, and then them treating you like you are out of your mind for reacting like any normal person would. You are left with your emotional outbursts, feelings of heartache and betrayal, and absolutely confusion over how this could even happen. And they behave like the person that has been broken.

See it for what it is. If you are asking yourself whether you are the manipulator, chances are that you’re not - manipulative people do not question themselves.

“Controllers, abusers and manipulative people don’t question themselves. They don’t ask themselves if the problem is them. They always say the problem is someone else.”

Said ‘sorry’ when I should’ve said ‘goodbye’ too many times.
