Already 20 threads? :D How are you? Happy new year :3

- No, it's no excuse. Hugs did you ever get those windows installed? :D

- That's a possibility. I don't know him well enough to figure it out on my own but I don't know who to ask. To be honest, I just want it to go away. lol :D How did the kiddies like Christmas? :D

- no worries, I got the ping and the comment. ty <3 I think the issue here is that I don't know how to react because I don't have all the info. You know how to react when your relatives behaved badly (shame on them!) My Bio dad is very new in my life. We don't know each other at all and I'm thinking that's the problem. We're trying to treat each other like long term famly members but the long term part just isn't there. It hasn't even been 6 months since I found out about him. :) I'm sorry your partner was treated badly. I hope you're able to get it resolved quickly. :D

- Thank you, hon. That means a lot. I think I'm going to let my brain mull things over and see if I can get rid of the feeling that I'm missing something in all of this. Hugs :D <3

Same 😂 Mine is like 1/3 of the way done LOL! One day I will get it finished.... maybe 😂

I've tried that but he doesn't want to get rid of any of it D: Maybe in a year or so he will be more understanding of donating things. He has so much, it's insane.

Is your wardrobe very large? I try to clear mine out at least once a year or so because I always end up with a bunch of wears I never use >_<

You are! ^0^ <3

Isn't it crazy? So many threads! Happy New Year to you too!! <3

I would feel the exact same way, I'm so sorry! They loved it! <3 It was so great seeing them open gifts on Christmas.

Your ha is so cute! Makes me think of you in rl!

Your avatar is brilliant xD the face on it so awesome. Hope your doing ok!

Pretty much same stuff different day so not a whole lot xD

I would suggest you not talk to him. Totally my opinion so take it with a grain of salt but he sounds toxic!

We had a good break but over as fast as it came. How were your holidays?

How is your mom doing any updates?

Whoops xD glad you missed it xD your ha is so dang cute right now.

It's my birthdaaaaay~

Hey you good?

Be gentle with yourself. I love ya.

That makes a lot more sense! Learning how to interact with someone can be difficult, especially in a complex situation like that. My bio dad wasn't in my life, and it was weird when his side of the family would reach out and stuff when I got older so I can understand that! Had you been looking for him? If so, congrats on finding him! I know that can be quite the process for people.

I've been slowly working towards the Filled Wardrobe. I looked and I'm at 13,272 items right now. Not too much farther to go! I bet if I stay active this year, it'll be easy to get there by the end of the year.

I haven't said hello since I returned, so hello! How're you? I see some new, adorable art on your profile, too. ❤️

- <3Did Jesse know that Santa brought some of the gifts? I bet his reaction was priceless! :D

- I'm beginning to realize that. I think I am going to keep my distance. :D <3

hugs loves ya too. :D <3

- No, I wasn't looking for him at all. I only found him thanks to a birthday gift. I have no chance of getting my adoption records because my adopted mom is batshit. So, my hubby gotme an ancestry spit test for my my birthday because I wanted to know my heritage. I not only found I'm half British and half Ukranian, sitting at the top of the DNA matches list was my bio dad. I wasn't sure I wanted to contact him when his sister, my aunt, contacted me and took the decision from me. So, it was all a huge surprise that ,5 months later, still hasn't really sunk in. lol The whole situation is nuts. :D <3

hugs~ How are you today?

mine is almost flattened, hopefully will start in a couple days. i want it done so when i get online i can share something xD

Happy New Year Rick!!! Is going well so far? I know 20 threads!! 😳 I love your HA!!!

Yes finally a few weeks ago they finished the windows. I was very happy it's all done! The person that made your HA did a great job!!

Somehow I knew you were going to say that about the toys. I might have gotten lucky Liz is so cooperative. :-D

Awwww! Thank you! <3 And it is me! rotfl!! Yours is great!!

Hey bebe!! I'm good! How are you doing?

Oh thank u <3 I like you HA as well. It remember my time with snow in mountains!

Hurting a bit; my back is angry for reasons unknown. And my migraine is angry after dehydration issues last night, but I only had water to drink so I don't even know. How was your yesterday? My birthday went well.

Me too. It's hard a lot of my mental health problems came from my early childhood and then my adopted parent's didn't help :( But I'm getting better :)

She said that they need to do more tests, which she was supposed to try and go get again but dad was having health issues and she had to deal with that first. So right now she's waiting to go in again I haven't talked to her yet to see what's going on. She is preparing us kids just in case things do go bad though so that's been fun :/

Good I'm glad! And lol yeah, I've been struggling with a form of arrested development so I have to force myself out of it since I can't afford a therapist to help so it's been rough lol but I'm getting their

Hey we've talked before, I used to use to have the username Cas here but I then switched it to Maddox when I came back about four months ago or so ^^ How are you?

I'm sorry to hear that about your dad. But you are right it isn't your problem but it's hard I understand. And yeah I was adopted when I was six after being in foster care from age 18 months to 5ish. And then my adopted parent's were alright, but they had a lot of issues that they pushed onto me. We moved to a small town when I was nine because my mom found it easier to control me in a small town. I had a fun childhood especially with my dad but yeah it was rough and I'm unlearning all the bad stuff from my childhood :( I'm sorry your adopted mom wasn't great either :(

OH! Welcome back. I'm doing okay overall, and you?

- It's been a good day. Spent the morning listening to a book and a political show. Now, I'm just chilling online trying to figure out what mischief I can get up to. :D <3 How about you? Has it been a good day?

- That's good. Now the house is all snugly warm for the winter storms you're not used to getting. :) Hubby made it. I'll pass along the compliment. He'll bask in it for a couple of days and then be a grump when I ask him to make another. lol :D <3

- It's sad that we both ended up in a similar situation. My adopted mom also moved us to a small town, rural area because it was easier to control us. )I have an adopted brother.) A few months before the move my adopted dad split, they divorced, and my step-dad married my adopted mom. He agreed to the move because he wanted to farm. He, my step-dad, was the only person in my life that acted as a parent. My adoptive mom never did. My adoptive dad tried to but couldn't take my adoptive mom's behavior. He gave up even trying shortly after their divorce. lol omg, I read books for mystery, drama, and thrills. I just realized that between the both of us we have more than enough drama for a book. Sad, but we're hanging in there. I know it's hard to unlearn the behaviors . I'm still trying myself. hugs <3

It's been a good day. Kinda hard--I needed to set a boundary and I'm Not Good at them, but I'm trying, and the other person seems to have taken it okay. What are you listening to in audiobook?

my break was also very good and also over too fast.

right now I'm in a mess because of a bad appliance delivery situation on top of a busy work week and some other things, it's a nightmare. hopefully to be cleared up tomorrow.... fingers crossed

:-) <3 My battle pet is almost to 8k health!! Yippeee

Feeling any better yet? When was your birthday and how did I miss it?? 😳

I'm glad you're getting better and I so hope you continue along that path!!

What? Your hubs made it? He did good! And your current one is nice too! I'm impressed!!

I've missed you!!

Thank you turd nugget :P <3

Happy Friday! <3

Ohhh you're so close! :O You got this ^0^ I did that one a few years ago, it was brutal XD So glad it's over with now.

He did!! He still keeps asking about Santa lol He doesn't understand that Christmas is only once a year. He will figure it out soon enough though (:

So, I was on a friend's family online subscription thingy. She removed me from it a couple weeks ago lol Haven't spoken to her in a long time so I'm shocked I was on it for as long as I was. So I can no longer go to friend's islands and such >_<

I'm sure one day he will understand, but he's still so little >_< I've already done a few toy purges without him knowing, It makes me sad but it's TOO much. You'd be shocked how much I've donated already in the 4 years I've had him.

Oh no, I'm so sorry ): I hope you're able to work through it without a therapist hugs Also, happy Friday! <3

oh wow. i have yet to get it.. so far my island is flat and tomorrow i will be starting spring on my game so i can build in the pretty
