RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

So I guess my parents are getting divorced for real this time. I've only gotten like 3 hours of sleep in the last two days, and now I'm sitting wondering if I have the strength to call my dad, who will probably die of sheer heartbreak either way.

Meanwhile, my mom is trying to use chatgpt to convince me that she's completely faultless and my dad is the root of all of this family's problems. ๐Ÿ™„

And I wonder if I should bother explaining to her why LLMs can't be trusted and that chatgpt in particular is a yes-man, or if I should just block her and move on, knowing that she'd rather take advice from a robot than her own freaking son.

So I get on lemmy to doomscroll a bit, and end up explaining to someone how to verify if a cop is real or not, only for some jerk to interject with a complete non-sequitur. I figured it was obvious trolling so I gave them words, but now I have a bunch of down votes so I guess I played that wrong idk.

Apologies to my clothes rack, which now finally needs to be replaced after being the victim of my rage like 6 times since I got it...

(And I don't think therapy can help, by the way. How's a person supposed to resolve trust issues when you're paying them to talk to you? And yea I've been.)

Anyway I was gonna wait for lemm.ee to shutdown to force me to stop using this place but idk I might just delete it today. Idk what I'll do instead but maybe watching paint dry isn't as bad as people make it out to be...

Anyway thanks all for listening, I hope you're having a better day than I am. ๐Ÿซถ

I am sorry to hear you are going through that. It sounds like a lot for one person to deal with.

It's comments like these that make me wish lemmy had a react feature. Perfect place to drop one of these suckers: โ™ฅ๏ธ
