I've been thinking a lot abt the ways in which society doesn't prepare people for parenthood lately
mostly bc I am 24 and my dad was 21 when I was born and my mom was 25 so I am right in that age range and I cannot stop thinking about how young they were, especially my father. because it is absolutely no excuse but I can't help thinking about what it would be like to have a 3 year old right now and how hard it would be. and I've gone through more therapy than he ever did and done so much more self reflection than him.
and I'm really very glad our generation is having less children and having them when they're older and like I said it's no excuse but... I can't help but feel sad for the ways society fucks over young parents and their children
no one ever taught my father how to be a parent and the world pushed him to be one when he was still too young to know who he was or how to Be a person. my mother was barely 18 when she had my oldest sister. she was still a child herself and didn't know what being an adult was, let alone how to be a mother...
like I keep thinking about how some of my most Traumatic memories of my father would have only happened when he was 29-31 and that's the age of my friends. that's almost my age. and none of us know ourselves at all, let alone how on earth to have been raising a family
I don't think that people shouldn't have kids and I think young parents can be really great but... idk. sometimes I remember that our parents just felt like children playing house. and my heart hurts a bit for the little girl and little boy that still existed and got eaten up by traumatized, scared, and selfish people
#this is okay to rb if you want but I've been doing lots of reflecting#mostly on my dad bc I've kind of always humanized my mom and she's never seemed Older or authoritative to Me#which isn't like. bc she's A Woman or smth she's openly admitted she views me more like an older brother than a child#which is a whole other can of worms#but my dad has always been this like. untouchable all knowing looming menacing figure#and it's weird to think that in a lot of those memories... he's my age. he was still a kid in his mind#parent mention

Could you maybe do a wordmoji that says, "This is why mom doesn't love you" (/nf ofc)
It's a joke between me and my platonic partner :]
I made a wavy version too, so hopefully it reads as more jokey? Anyway RIP vine, lol
[ID: “this is why mom doesn’t love you,” first in light mode friendly text, then in dark mode friendly text. /End ID]
[ID: the same text, first in light mode and then in dark, but the writing is edited to look wavy. /End ID]

People "blaming their parents for their trauma" are fucking right and I am so fucking angry that the dismissal of that is a thing that exists.

I will literally never know which horrific memories are actually true or not cause of the constant lies and gaslighting I've dealt with throughout my youth.
I will never know if I'm being fair or not and I'll never know if my feelings are valid and that I have reason for being so uncomfortable around my mother. It's exactly how she wants me to feel, so she has more control and I can't do anything about it cause I'll never get a straight answer from her
#i wish i knew the truth it would help me so much#but i will have to live with the fact that I'll always second guess myself about everything cause of her#i literally cant even believe things ive been diagnosed with cause of how much this has effected me#i just want some peace lmao#vent#tw gaslighting#parent issues#mother issues#mother mention#parent mention#childhood trauma

it's bizarre to me that i, 22, a grown adult capable of knowing what i want in my life, older than both of my parents when they first had kids, can say "i'm not having children ever"
and my parents will say "oh (birth name)'s going to have a lot of kids"

Oh I feel so bad for the sweet babe. :(( But if it makes nonnie feel better, many of us usually make up our lack of friend groups in other ways. For example, I have my therapist and my queerplatonic partner for one. I also talk to my Mama and Daddy a lot. Many of us have very strong support systems! 💪💪💪 They just usually aren't compiled up of friends.
. Yeah, I'm also just adding that aplatonics and/or nonfriending people do not have to 'make up for' not wanting friends/ friend groups - it's important to me that people not see my orientation as something I have to 'make up for'. And additionally I believe support systems should not be just affinity based social relationships because that support is not usually unconditional and this leaves people who aren't in social relationships abandoned (i.e. people should be given support if they need it not just bc someone likes them).
#theveiledlibrarian#parent mention#qpr mention#qpr#parents#family mention#support systems#also I deleted your last ask bc of familial repulsion just wanted to make that clear its not any other issue#I think in the future I would not like any asks that mention tertiary/nonrose relationships but Im answering this bc it related to the#previous ask#also for anyone else who sent in asks we will answer them later as we are more busy lately and those are all of the#plato repulsed culture is type of asks#aplatonic

Fleur De Mon Coeur
Mercedes sat with Cosette, the young child currently staying over at the artist's flat as Jean stayed out a little later due to work. When he'd first asked a couple weeks ago, Jean had been reluctant to ask the American to look after Cosette, only considering it as an option after making double sure both parties would be amenable. Cosette didn't mind; in fact, she very much enjoyed spending time with Mercy at her flat and with her two cats.
Currently, Cosette was fresh faced, her skin glowing after a nice warm bath and, having just changed into her PJs, she listened contentedly as Mercedes sang softly to her while she brushed her golden hair with the utmost care and caution. Cosette couldn't remember a time someone was so careful with her hair and, enraptured, gazed at Mercedes via the vanity mirror with thoughtful, wide eyes. Eventually, Mercedes noticed and smiled.
"Oui ma petite fleur?" She prompted gently, "Do you have something on your mind?"
Cosette glanced away and began to fiddle with her small hands. "You love Papá, don't you?"
Mercedes blushed. "I--- yes, I do. Ma petite fleur, what does-"
"Are you going to get married someday?" Cosette blurted, eyes once wide and desperate now as she once again fixed her attention on Mercedes' tanned face.
Mercedes thought about asking if Jean had mentioned such an idea to her but refrained and instead focused on what was more important. She set the brush down and gently bid Cosette to face her. Once she was holding Cosette's hands in her own, she looked into the little girl's eyes.
"We won't get married if you don't want us to." Mercedes answered seriously. She didn't dare think of whether or not Jean even wanted to get married.
Cosette furrowed her brows, a comically adorable expression on her usually serene face. "But I want you to."
Mercedes blinked slowly. "You... You do? May I ask why?"
"Because..." Cosette stared down at Mercedes' hands. They were almost always stained with colorful pigment, always smelled of cinnamon, and always, always were very gentle and soft. She took a deep breath, "because then if you're married to Papá, that will make you my Maman." She jerked her head up to shoot Mercedes another wide-eyed look, "Right?"
Mercedes felt her heart clench in her chest and for a moment, she had to blink hard to dispel the sting she felt in her eyes. She swallowed thickly- what was she to say, without overstepping, without making a promise she wasn't allowed to keep? And then, like sunlight streaming down straight into her heart, she knew.
"My darling Cosette," she said earnestly, not daring to look away from the little girl's imploring gaze, "I am happy to be what you want me to be, as long as your Papá approves of it."
Pure incandescent joy lit up like lanterns inside Cosette's eyes and in a surge of excitement she lunged into Mercedes' arms, wrapped her own around the painter's neck, and buried her face into her shoulder. "You promise?" She whispered.
Mercedes rubbed her back and nodded slowly. "I'll talk to your Papá about this when he comes and gets you," she promised. She waited until Cosette decided to pull away and when she did, she smiled and gently pushed the girl's bangs away from her face before adding, "speaking of, how about I tuck you in? The sooner you sleep, the sooner he'll come."
Cosette hesitated. "Will you please read me a story?" She asked meekly.
Mercedes grinned. "Yes. Pick one while I clean up in here and I'll come in when I'm done to read it to you."
"Thank you!" Cosette practically chirped before quickly dashing off to do just that and Mercedes, overwhelmed with a deep sense of honor, felt the girl carry her heart along with her every step of the way.
#tex writes#tex moods#familial f/o#child f/o#gif warning#food tw#fleur de mon coeur ♡ | cosette#it's about giving her what was never given to me at that young age it's about receiving therapy via providing therapy#it's about seeing her and knowing I'd do anything for her and that I'll never consider myself worthy of her choosing me to be so important#but knowing I'll do everything in my power to try and earn that honor anyway#i just... stars i love my daughter#i love queue more#parent mention#okay to rb ♡

I watched Everything Everywhere All At Once the other night
It was not what I expected because it somehow slipped mind that it's supposed to have comedy in it
But it was good. Ended the movie in tears :,)
Movies about child/parent relationships are so important to me. How can you be a good child? How can you be a good parent? How is it fair that you can fail even when you're doing your best?
Movies like this one, Inside Out, and Turning Red do so well in showing that growing up is hard and growing away from your parents is hard and even despite this, your parents are proud of you and they love you and they will tear apart the multiverse to show you that.
#obviously this doesnt apply to people with bad parents#but i personally can relate#everything everywhere all at once#turning red#inside out#family mention#parent mention#katz reviews#the cinematography was awesome btw#and ive seen behind the scenes stunt/foley videos and i am WOWED#this wasnt even a big budget film and the editors learned to edit video on their own#amazing 9/10

every time I eat watermelon I think of my mothers funeral where they read a note she wrote about heaven and eating watermelon and strawberry shortcake and how the day after the service someone brought strawberries and cream and shortcake home and everyone silently ate them without acknowledging why they were set out on the counter and I start to think about other things but I stop because I'm still holding a piece of watermelon and it suddenly feels important to focus on it and savor the joy of a simple fruit in the summer. goodnight

what bugged me the other day was i was using my brother's proper name and pronouns and my dad got upset with me for "confusing him"
him misgendering my brother is no accident. that's for sure now. i was giving him the benefit of the doubt.
#typewriter dings#all i can hope for is that he looks progressively more stupid as my brother transitions#parent mention#misgendering tw
