❤️No need to apologize. I think it’s so important to talk about it.

If it gives you any hope, I finally found a crew that seems to be really on it and getting things done. But you really need a win at this point. It’s like you’re in a Money Pit remake. Ugghhhh.

Oh Jesus!!!!! Nooooo!!!!

My god. This incredibly brave woman. This is so awful.

Oh, this is just beautiful. And so true.

JFC.

It becomes more infrequent. The waves keep coming but are farther and farther apart. It’s good you’re taking about it. I stuffed it down and got ptsd. Keep talking. ❤️

Oh no!!! I hope you’re okay.

Agreed.

I’m so sorry. My mom has been living without my dad since 1997. I’ll be gutted when that day comes. Especially since I’m estranged from my sister. It’s all so challenging to navigate. ❤️

Please take care of yourself. I shoved it all down and it came out on its own as PTSD for decades.

I remember when the funeral home called to ask me to look for my dad’s dental bridge that had fallen out when the EMTs were there. I crawled around on my mom’s floor next to my dad’s recliner, found it and never told her. That was the day I became an adult. Even though I was 26. It all sucks. ❤️

Midwestern child of the 80’s here. Raised in a sundown town 3 hours south of Chicago. It’s been so interesting for me to watch my mom go from eye rolling every time JJ was on the news to a progressive, informed person at 80 years old. She was upset he wasn’t able to lie in state in DC. Great photo.

The squat to get down on his level is perfection. 😂

I try to avoid any more reasons for my husband’s family to chastise me for choosing not to have children. 😉

Omg as a non-parent, I really have to keep my mouth shut about travel teams. I get myself in trouble but watching from the outside it’s crazy.

I snorted and checked if this was an Onion article.

Yes!!

My mom’s neighbor voted for T. She thinks she’s going to DC to her niece’s promotion to colonel in April. I’ve been saying for over a year that I hope she bought refundable tickets cause I don’t think it’s happening.

Ugghhh! I’m so sorry you have to do this. Non-disparagement agreement. Smdh.

Finally fired my contractor last Friday. Never getting our $ back.He sent me an AI written text that started out “I regret that you feel…” Started having panic attacks this morning. But found a new reliable person who starts this week. Keeping you in my thoughts! 😳

It’s all such a roller coaster. One foot in front of the other when you are able. Take good care of yourself. ❤️ There is no easy way to get through it.

I genuinely miss all of the black women I used to follow on Instagram. But I don’t want to go back. You’re right, there’s definitely a lack of diverse voices here. I noticed it right away.

He thought I was mad because he accidentally texted me “yes master” instead of “yes ma’am.” I was like oh no that’s fine I have so many other reasons to be mad. And then he asked me to go to Menards to buy more materials and then we had to chat. THESE MEN. And then I feel like the bitch. Custard.

After meeting with the disappearing contractor today who asked me for more money even though he most def owes me money for incomplete work, I absolutely stopped at Culver’s to eat a chocolate custard cone while blasting Cake’s version of I Will Survive. I definitely “changed those fking locks!!” 🤯

Is there even anyone around him anymore that will stop him? This keeps me up at night.

Jeez.

And then they sit there and laugh about it. These people are such trash.

Was it you who posted the article about the problematic director? That article made me a hater for life.

Fruitvale Station is a phenomenal film.
