I am such a push over, my siblings and my mom have zero respect for me. Ugh and why do i talk so much. Just stop oversharing. Still a ppl pleaser at 30. Just embarrassing when I reflect on my actions.

Please don’t beat yourself up - you deserve better!!

Work on the need or protector for people pleasing and you’ll notice that all falls away. IFS therapy is amazing for this. Everyone has issues, we’re all human and we all have sh*t! Don’t beat yourself up over it, but channel this self loathing into positive growth.
My issue with overcharging with my mom is that we are super estranged and I crave love and acceptance from her so I’ll randomly share as a bid to get something I know I can’t receive. I am working to heal that so I don’t feel that compulsion around her. Just as an example.

That was so kind to say and I need to read it again. Thank you.
I agree, I have a 3 year old boy who is my whole effing world and its weirdly healing to me, but equally jarring, to feel this exploding and all encompassing adoration, love, and wonder for my son and then realize my parents never felt that for their little 3 year old daughter. It’s wild, mindblowing, so painful, but also so healing because literally in no world could that have possibly been that 3 year olds’ fault. It shoves into my face that no child could ever be unlovable enough for their own parent not to love them. It’s a wild ride and I’m grateful I get to have a beautiful loving family with my baby 🙏🏻

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand
