What's on your mind?

For the first time in a while, sat down to Netflix in the living room to see this somewhat recent Canadian film I'd had saved in the queue for a while called "Haunter". About a girl named Lisa who has been forced to relive the same day inside her house surrounded by a dangerously thick mist outside, over and over, with her family. And the film centers around her trying to unravel the mystery of why. At first I was worried the plot of the movie was going to be a whole bunch of impossible-to-follow contrivance about time loops or something, but that wasn't it, thank god. A movie with this kind of story is going to be hard to follow at first, but by about the halfway point the bits and pieces started coming together, surprisingly coherently, to where I could keep track of what was going on and therefore be able to care about the main protagonist's plight. It also helped that the lead heroine is very cute and a good actress, of course. ^-^ I mean, sure she actually spends more time in the movie giving facial expressions ranging from joyful to cautiously wary to frightened as she slowly encroaches upon the next part of the mystery to unravel, than she does actually speaking, but I think she did well with what she was given to work with. Besides, I think the story kind of called for as much, or more, silent shows of emotion than actual speaking parts, anyway. So, you know, for anyone here who might like a decently-made, PG-ish horror film without the immature amounts of swearing, pointless sex scenes, or ridiculous gore effects, that is probably more about the mystery than the scares, then I casually recommend "Haunter".

Actually, I just looked up the lead role and it turns out she is that same girl I randomly chose as the closest resemblance to your IRL self a long time ago in Mojoboy's "last ten" thread, @SeekerOfChrist94 .

My home life is getting worse. My mother is getting more neurotic and she booted me out of the house.

I called my stepfather who is out of town for work. He agrees that my mother is getting more anxiety, more moody, more irritable, more of a mental mess. She resorts to guilt trips and has a talent for deflecting any criticism off of her and onto anther person to make him/her look terrible. Stepfather even acknowledges this. She's very passive aggressive and always tries to make me feel like crap when she's stressed. Whenever I call her out on this, she tells me, "You just have a very guilty conscience." She's prone to yelling, screaming, and swearing. Every time we give her honest criticism, she plays victim and accuses us of trying to make her feel like a crap person. Ironically, she does this to us all the time. She accepts no responsibility for her actions.

Her neuroticism has driven me to the point of suicide three times and driven me to self harm. Every time I do so, she just tries to make me feel worse by insulting me, accusing me of trying to get attention, and even accused me of trying to get back at her once. She accepts no responsibility for her involvement in hurting me, acting as if she knows all. My stepfather and I notice that she can have a meltdown one time and act like nothing ever happened 20 minutes later.

Simply put: she is a miserable person.

Yesterday, we were eating something and a student living with us was eating this mushy stuff from the Philipines. My mother asked what it was and I told her to try it. She refused because she thought it looked disgusting. I started teasing her to try it like she would make me try foods I didn't want to try. She freaks out accusing me of trying to maker her out to be a bad mother. Over time it kept escalating to the point where I lost it and told her to get help. She responds by telling me I'm no longer welcomed in her house and tells me to leave until I can show her respect.

I'm at the bar later to eat something. She texts me saying that my 'mess' is at the front door and asked if I wanted my meds and clothes. I said yes. My father picks me up and we go back to her house to pick up my stuff. When I got there, I asked where my stuff was and she tells me that I can pack my own stuff and that I'm welcomed back. I took this as another mind game she's playing and told her I'm not playing this game. We argued some more and she told me that I'm being ignorant and that I'm like my alcoholic father. I told her she's being neurotic and needs to seek help and she screams at me to pack my things to leave, sounding like she's about to cry.

I'm now at my father's house on his laptop. I called my stepfather about the second encounter with mom and he tells me that she's trying to guilt trip me again like she normally does. We are thinking of trying to get her help because as stepfather mentioned, my mental state is getting better (believe it or not) while hers is getting worse.

Before you all tell me, "Wayholka, you lazy and immature failure at life, why don't you get your own place then??" Well for one, I have a disability that hinders my life. Second, I have physical health problems preventing me from working right now. Third, housing is incredibly expensive here. It cost at least $1,200 for a one bedroom apartment and they can jack up the prices how ever much they want at very short notice.

My mother needs help. The three of us in that house agree that there's something going on with her and it needs to end.

You're in my prayers!

Think about how we feel about American memes 24/7.

This meme is everything. So hilarious.

And Wayholka, I hope things are going a bit better for you today. I am praying for you.

I'm sure anyone who may be bothered by that will get over it soon enough.

For someone with a PhD, she really didn't think this through...

In the meantime, they have hired someone. Talk about unprofessional.
