Gaia was my home for so long, I imagine that's the case with most of us. It might not have been the first avatar site but it was
what pushed the...genre?...to be born and spread out. But my pretentious nostalgia kicks in and I just don't like it anymore.
I like feeling like I"m on sites that are clearly progressing but are still "starting up". I hope devs on all sites can take a lesson from
where gaia went wrong.

Someone misinformed you. You can DEFINETLY do something about your dog being attacked. It doesn't have to be just a thread to a human.
That's absurd.

I'm like $20 away from V10. I'm in love with the V15 outfit but the fact it translates to about $5,000 USD is yiiiiiiiiikes.

I actively play, at one point I was a bit addicted to the microtransactions and had to force myself to stop. Never imagined I could be so impulsive. So now I have a personal oath to never buy clothes on there unless it somehow has a bird. (I like birds.)
If I remember, I'll post some favorite outfits later.

@Alexis: Granted, but you are insanely taller. None of your clothes fit, you can't go in your own house, and if you try to walk you'll destroy the city and inevitably become the primary villain of everyone who exists there.
I wish I could go visit my little sister.

Firstly, I'm so sorry that your parents have let their emotions get away to the point of impacting you. While everyone is human, I relate to the frustration of feeling like the bigger person between two separated adults lacking innate self awareness. That was my entire childhood and it wore heavy on me.
I imagine you probably feel a soft spot for your mom, or an obligation anyway to continue the therapist role but like many things, the best thing to do is not enable it. I imagine she's probably too emotionally reactive to be rationalized with without taking major offense, right? It's important for the both of you that you stop playing this role.
1) It will eat at your relationship
2) She will never get the real help she needs
It sounds shitty and I'm not sure you're willing, but I would speak with a school guidance counselor about this.
Your mother's prolonged deep periods of depression without getting better are redflags. You don't want her sinking
lower than she already is, and you aren't capable of giving her the right emotional foundation to recover. That's not your fault, and it's certainly
not your job. To preserve both of your mental health, you need to find away for her to address this else where and I"m so sorry that it's becoming
your task to do that. ALternatively, if you have another family member on her side you trust, an aunt or such- I'd highly recommend reaching out to them with help. Let them be aware of the fragility of this situation.
As for your father it's nice to hear you two are getting closer since the separation, and he has no place to ask you to keep secrets from your mom.
Then again, make sure you yourself are weighing on the mental scale of "Genuine Privacy vs Personal Impact".
By that I mean, your mom doesn't need to know if he is going out on dates, or if he took a day off form work sick.
Those things are his business and offers absolutely no benefit for your mother to know those things. You don't want to operate as
your moms security camera. You need to operate as your OWN security camera. Report things back to her that are important. You shouldn't have any shame letting her know how the visitation itself went, and what you did. If he persists on shaming you for this, ask him politely why.
Don't approach confrontationally, as I'm sure he's still mentally getting used to this change and less likely to respond tactfully if approached wrong.

Posted in How to deal with a facebook friend
Posted 7 years ago
I'ma try to offer alternative perspective.
It would seem to me from this post, something 'more' is going on here that is limiting her from adopting a new cat.
Personally, if I saw a friend post on a cat cafe in another country "Awe I wish I lived nearby :(" I really wouldn't take that
as uber negativity. I seriously doubt she was fishing for a response from the foreign cafe. Not more so than just writing a comment that while
mildly sad in tone, was simply trying to convey how cute it is.
If she wants a new cat, she'll get one and that might not be right for her right now. And that's OK.
A new cat won't necessarily heal the emotional injury from the previous cat either, it takes time.
I'm sure she does many things that are annoying to you, but maybe those in collectively have left you to judge her a bit harshly on
smaller offenses. From this post, she just sounds like a grieving cat lover to me who is watching cute things to enjoy them and isn't ready
to take in a new animal yet.
If she irks you so much, she's your friend as you say...have a talk with her. Let her know that you feel like she's letting the sadness of losing her cat
get too her too much, and promote healthy coping mechanisms...like doing things /other/ than oogle cats.
If she's just a facebook friend you barely know and are just ranting how annoying she is though, that's entirely different. Not sure if you are actually emotionally connected to her or not.
