If I don't ignore bad news that causes me stress it'll be the death of me someday probably.

I must say though the GBNews audience are clueless, well some of them are. The assumption that everyone who is disabled is housebound is absurd. It is possible for a Carer looking after two disabled sons or daughters to go on a family trip, that does not change the ADHD or autism diagnosis, or whatever else, and it certainly does not prove they're able to work either, it's different for each person how much their condition affects them.

GBNews is basically Britain's version of Fox News, it is for an audience that is unwilling to engage in thoughtful conversation and nuance. They exaggerate the fraud rate of the welfare system ignoring the statistics of people who are in low paid work receiving subsidies and hosts of GBNews don't even let their critics finish what they're saying. These people would have a DOGE organization working for Britain if they thought they could get away with it.

I try to remain calm but it is difficult to do that sometimes when people don't use their heads in this country.

We have enough problems without infotainment media misleading the population. They exploit people's gullibility with clickbait articles and oversimplified case studies that don't tell the public what they need to know, which quite frankly should be illegal, but it isn't, so they effectively function as state owned propaganda.

I'll be getting some food soon too. best way to pass the time I suppose, look at the bright side of life. At least we have a home and can feed, clean and clothe ourselves, those of us who can, we are fortunate. Some people in the world had their homes taken away from them by violence.

My legs hurt since I was working the whole dance, but it was super fun! I had to fight off the kids who were trying to steal the candy bowl which was hilarious! I was given a lot of food to take home since I worked so much and stayed behind to help clean up the mess everywhere. I hope you're all well, by the way! ^^

A good night's rest should help, after dinner. Glad you enjoyed your dancing. And thank you for your thoughtfulness about us Hippity Hoppity, always great have you around.

I feel terrible.

Spoiler

My mother cursed me out and always pretends like it's a joke. Clearly, I don't find it funny, but she keeps saying "f you f you f you f you" in a voice that she thinks is funny. I continuously tell her, "I have a feeling you're not joking and you're actually projecting how you really feel by pretending it's a joke." Today, she admitted it. I don't want to be here anymore. She does things like this so much I just feel like I'm not worthy of love. I try to stay to positive but it's so hard to with someone like her around. When will this end?

There is a time for positivity and cases of abuse are *not* it. Anger at these situations is healthy and NECESSARY - it's our bodies telling us we need to act to protect ourselves and trying to "positive think" ourselves away only means the problem persists because we don't protect ourselves.

I'm sorry you're being treated that way, it's worse when it's a parent. :/

Sketch, that's awful, I hope something changes with her or she'll regret it one day when you move out and never look back.

You DESERVE respect, you've done so much for us here and she'll never know that, my brother does that stuff to me too, and you know what, screw him, he'll never help me out

I don't like arguments, however I agree with your point, Hippity Hoppity needs to fight back, tell her mother how it is, not brush this issue under the carpet. Rudeness does need to be called out on.

I just checked and realised you're a minor and may not be able to do much about this yet - I'm so sorry, it's a massive problem the lack of rights minors have when abuse is concerned. :c just know it's not your fault at all for how she acts...

Yeah nah this behaviour ain't it. This isn't a good person. Stay resilient and know one day you'll be rid of her, and there's nothing wrong with that if you never speak to her again in the future.

If her mother does not stop and apologize, then that is likely to be the case. Family breakups suck, but they are inevitable in situations like this one.

Oh, Sketchy  That really sucks. I know this feeling. Being in that vulnerable position when you can't just walk away because you're a minor and relying on your parent almost in every aspect of your life. And the person who should be the biggest protection and support happens to be the biggest source of stress. 

If you have nowhere to go and have to stay with your mom, then remember

1. That mean things she is telling you do not define you. You're smart, kind and creative.

2. I believe, she is so mean because she had tough life an didn't meet the right people to support and show her the other way when it was important. I believe It will be different with you ^•^

3. You have a whole life ahead, full of great, kind and loving people. And current situation is just for several years while you're depending on her.

Now it's just a time when you have to deal with yor mom like mean boss or toxic colleague. Like you still have a job to do and need their help. When the job (your adulting) will be done you will be free to build a comfortable distance with her.

Also remember, that even if love of your mom is so desirable, she isn't the only source of love and support. I believe you already met the right and supportive people here ^•^ Ur awsum, Sketchy. Stay awsum ^e^

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is a situation where family counselling would be appropriate, it seems they have issues that need to be worked out, particularly her mother.

And I am not talking about TV Talk Shows either, those are unprofessional settings where families bring their embarrassing secrets out in the open, and it is known as a human form of bear baiting, this is why Jeremy Kyle show got shut down on ITV after a situation about it led to one of the guests of the show ending their life IIRC.

What I am talking about is people discuss their issues privately with mental health professionals.

I don't know how I can help you except words of support. Remember, this nightmare will end someday and everything will be fine. All bad things come to an end.  Don't believe what she tells you, you deserve love.

Doing bad again. I'm sorry I've been posting a lot of depressing things.

I gave my mother a paper that had to be signed asking whether or not I had food allergies for Family and Consumer Sciences class since we'll be cooking. I put 'no known allergies' and left out my minor allergies to raw fruit. Mother then said, "Why don't you put that down in 'Other' for your once in a blue moon complaints saying 'I can't eat this' and 'this makes my stomach hurt'?" She doesn't take me seriously and she never took my allergic reactions seriously. Yes, they are minor, so I get symptoms like itchy mouth and throat and swelling. She acts like I'm just lying about it. I literally ate an avocado and I was sick for weeks. I guess I'm just taking it. It's all in my head isn't it?

I CAN'T STAND PEOPLE WHO IGNORE ALLERGIES

No matter whether minor or serious, allergies are no joke! It's not something to be joked about or played off, that's a terrible thing to ignore! 

Dear People:

Stop trying to dismiss things that people have, whether neurologic disorders, mental disabilities, or allergies, it pisses me off to no end, especially with a brother who pulls that shit

Phobias too, sometimes phobias can be dealt with through therapy but that does not mean people should make fun of people's fears of something or expose them to the source of it to bother them, that sucks.
