when i had zoom classes, this one guy left and went to the bathroom for awhile (maybe took a shower?) comes back out naked. like i completely fully saw his penis, and i can’t quite remember if i’m mixing up two separate situations i saw but he either 1) just walked confidently back to the couch or 2) i think he even crawled / ducked around his room getting back to the camera thinking no one could see.

but my point is.

everyone always goes “omg so you saw ____’s penis on zoom?! i want the full story! was it big?!”

and as shocked as i was, i literally can’t remember. i couldn’t tell anybody what his penis looks like. i can’t even remember if he crawled to the camera naked or if that was a different week where he was being weird clothed. i can’t remember. i just remember the fact that i saw a dude’s penis in my college class. so hopefully that makes you feel better? that even though it was shocking and i kept STARING because i couldn’t believe what i saw, it didn’t last in my brain more than a week. so, hopefully the people in your zoom will uh have terrible memory like me

and guilt mary into not trying to sabotage the relationship herself

so being a pastor means you can’t possible be a cheating narcissist abuser…… that’s a funny joke 🥴

nothings wrong w what you did but i do find it a bit annoying that you care a bit more because she’s a preacher. what does that change about anything? if she wasn’t a preacher or religious she wouldn’t be as pure and deserving of empathy? i don’t get it

After reading your update, I’m a bit more concerned for you. They’ve clearly convinced you that below-standard care is the norm and have neglected you and your sibling so much that you guys don’t even know it. They got CPS called on them because they are terrible parents putting you directly in harms way. They are an active detriment in your life. Even though you say things are sooo much better now, I don’t they are. You just have never experienced healthy parental relationships, so you don’t know. You said you “only have to lend money sometimes now” as if that’s a good thing. I’ve never lent my parents money, they have NEVER asked for it, and I’m darn well sure they’ve needed help in the past. But that was never my burden. A parent doesn’t make their problems their child’s, a parent doesn’t allow their child to not have access to water at ALL times, a parent doesn’t allow their child to be screamed at by boyfriends encouraging suicide. And I won’t lie, if your water frequently breaks and the landlord doesn’t even fix it… I doubt the place you live in is actually expensive at all. They just tell you that because everyone in this has such a skewed perception of normal. They took your money for $80 of cigarettes, and you think the reason they can’t afford rent is because it’s overpriced? I’m not trying to make you feel bad, but man I really hope your eyes can be opened to how not normal this is, and how much your mom deserves to have CPS look into her.

nah if someone told me they accidentally threw away a check that i wrote them WEEKS ago, i would not be judging them at all. who can keep track of a little paper for weeks? it’s not embarrassing at all to ask for a new one.
