And a full time student.

Maybe hold off on judging.

Consider kindness.

Happy Mother’s Day.

That's a mental illness. I know it well, because my mother has it. I decided to move to a different continent.


Oh, the drama. Your mother is an “emotional vampire?”

Sounds like you need mental health treatment PP. (and maybe stay off Reddit)

She’ll get back to you. Just leave her alone while her SO is visiting.

I am really over this.

They want to be treated like adults, so should step up and act that way.

(And those of you who are snarkily judgemental are off base. But I guess being smug somehow feels good to you.)


Sounds like she doesn't want the things you are so desperately trying to do "for her."

You have a way to reach her. Just not at the moment you want to be able to reach her.

+100. This is such a whiny post complete with crying emoji I have no doubt DD has solid reasons for wanting some space. Is probably getting a million texts about things she has assessed are inconsequential.


Put on your reading glasses. It is not a crying emoji.

I find that immature and annoying . There are lots of things going in right now that I need to discuss with her, but she won’t respond to texts. 😤


She's getting plowed three times a day. I'm sure she's in a sex, nap, eat, sex, nap eat cycle.

Young love. What can you do. Instead of being miffed, you should expect it and make alternate arrangements.
