Being the eldest daughter who's reminded every second that she's exactly like her father and watching that same father slowly spiral into madness as his own rage eats him from the inside knowing that there's a chance that you'll also end up like him has gotta be one of the saddest things to witness in life .

My Dad Sucks with Money. How Do I Make Him Change?

When I was ten years old, my mother yelled at me when my kitten peed on our family room sofa. “It’s a brand new, six thousand dollar couch!” she cried in frustration.

As I did my best to scrub the ammonia stink away, I remember internally questioning why anyone would buy a six thousand dollar couch—especially someone with three kids, a dog, and a kitten. I didn’t have a strong concept of the value of a dollar yet… but I knew that was a lot of boxes of Swiss Cake Rolls.

Two decades later, I’ve come to what I think is a more mature, nuanced understanding of how to approach your parent’s finances. At our patrons’ behest, I want to share it with you all today. It’s only four words long!

My father's favorite horse (Bucephalus) has gotten mysteriously ill... if he dies, maybe I'll finally be the favorite son instead of playing second fiddle to a fucking animal.

It surprises me

how just because we shared a childhood home

we had vastly different childhoods

and sometimes when we retell stories

it shows me we never lived in the same house

parents after committing a crime against you: this is normal and you’re just being dramatic stop pretending you’re hurt, you did this to yourself

brain: sounds legit, we suck and it’s our fault, we’ll find out in 10-20 years just how bad it was, lets keep going on as if it didn’t happen

She never hit me

But she made me into the emotional caregiver after her second divorce from the man who physically and sexually abused me and my brother

She never hit me

But she instilled poor body image into me with obvious comments about herself and subtle comments about me

She never hit me

But she told me being queer was just a phase after I was outed, then boasted of her allyship years later

She never hit me

But no amount of change and effort on my end is ever enough for her

She never hit me

But she told me things no twelve-year-old should have to hear about from their parent

She never hit me

But she puts me down over and over and victimizes herself to make me feel like the villain

She never hit me

But she used to throw things when she was mad, mirroring the man who choked and molested me when those wounds were still very fragile

She never hit me

But she threatened to send me to live with my homophobic, transphobic, neglectful, and emotionally abusive biological father if I didn’t stop disagreeing with her

She never hit me

But she yells at me through panic attacks, calling me dramatic and manipulative, while expecting me to care for her during hers

She never hit me

But she makes me fear sudden outbursts over the smallest things

She never hit me

But she repeatedly compares me to my bio dad despite my urging her to stop

She never hit me

But she makes it impossible to figure out what is safe to tell her and what isn’t, sometimes even being upset over things that were safe in the past

She never hit me

But she’s gone through my phone several times and punished me for things she found

She never hit me

But she’s used my sensory issues, trauma, and physical disabilities to make me do things multiple times

She never hit me

But she accused me of having hickeys on my legs when I was in middle school, they were self harm marks from me compulsively scratching away the top layer of skin

She never hit me

But she forced me to stand in the shower in front of her and shave for the first time while I was sobbing and begging her not to make me do it

She never hit me

But my trauma is always harder on her and suggesting otherwise is being ungrateful to all she’s done for me

She never hit me

But she repeatedly ignores and crosses boundaries and makes me feel horrible for ever setting them

She never hit me

But she still makes comments about me being trans on a regular basis while claiming to be the biggest trans ally

She never hit me

But she downplays certain medical and mental issues in private while using them in public discussions to make herself look like a good mom for putting up with them

She never hit me

But she’s repeatedly attempted to turn my fiancé and brother against me

She never hit me

But she backed me into the corner of the counters while I was making breakfast because she was angry

She never hit me

But she abused me anyways

One thing I love about The Owl House is the Blight family.

The series had the balls to say “A toxic parent breeds toxic children, but the family also has the ability to grow past that toxicity when freed from that influence.”

It had the guts to show the kind of damage having a toxic parent - who was almost certainly the child of toxic parents - has on the coping strategies of the children and spouses involved.

But instead of either a blanket “And they’re bad” or “But bullies have feelings too!” it’s nuanced.

Odalia is who she is because of her choices.

Alador is who he was because of the family life he had, but when given choices chose his children over anything else.

Emira and Eldric where never doomed to be “just like their mother.”

I’m a sideline fan, TOH is on my binge list but that’s long…

But everything I see of how the Blights grew into themselves after breaking ties with Odalia makes me so happy as an estranged child of a toxic parent.

I tell myself that I'm gentle, that's what I want to be, but this anger my father taught me, it's all I know

Oh so it's okay when parents use fear to traumatize their kids because it's discipline but when I slather fake blood on my teeth to pretend I ripped them out because I was tired of my dad using them as a reason why I should appreciate him and not stand up for myself, it's cruel?!

A few screenshot from the animatic I’m working on. Based on Sun & Moon Show and I just randomly had the idea literally pop into my head from no where and it’s been infesting my brain since.

Should be able to finish it, possibly on my TikTok live this weekend. Too few hours

Congrats on the lil miracle!!! ❤️❤️❤️

You should name it Bucephalus! Works for a boy or a girl x

I FUCKING HATE THAT NAME. THAT IS THE NAME OF MY FATHERS FAVORITE HORSE. THE ONE MY OWN FATHER LOVED MORE THAN ME. IS THAT FUNNY TO YOU? IS MY TRAUMA AMUSING? THAT I WAS LOVED LESS THAN A FUCKING ANIMAL? YOU ARE SICK.

Why is it

That my accomplishments never are enough

But when someone else does them

It means everything

the older i get the more i see how fucked up my mum is and the more angry i get at her for not only being a shitty parent (and now grandparent), but also for straight up refusing to take care of herself or work on her mental health at any point during her life. i don't understand the stigma she has towards her own mental health, because when it comes to anyone else having issues she seems pretty understanding and sympathetic, but when it's in regards to herself she's just dismissive or deflects entirely. why can't she admit she has problems when all her kids are traumatised, depressed, anxious, suicidal, and can barely function in society??? it just makes no sense to me.

i used to be convinced that she would grow out of her selfish/toxic behaviour, or that she would eventually hit her rock bottom and make the decision to change her life. under these beliefs i was able to excuse her ways to an extent, always optimistic that she would get better and become the mum i've always wanted, but now i see she doesn't want to change and will probably never improve. and it's so disappointing. of course i still love her but i struggle to not hate her too. yes she has tried her best to be a good mother, but that doesn't mean her attempt was any less shit. my whole life she's just made excuses for her terrible parenting, and now that i have a niece it's becoming painfully obvious that she is no different now than when we were kids. in fact she's even worse than before. if she's not careful she's going to lose any chance of a real relationship with her grandkids. she doesn't even realise how close she is to that becoming reality.

it's impossible for me to have any kind of meaningful relationship with her now. it makes me sad but i can't keep trying to support her through the same shit over and over and over again while she's making zero effort to make things better for herself. she just lives in denial and blames everyone else. she's always a victim, always needs something or someone to complain about. it's really quite sad that she can't see that she's only a victim to her own choices.
