Does anyone else wish that tumblr had a favorite or saved folder for you to put.. well..just that. i love tumblr but it’s the one thing i wish it had.
it would improve user experience soooo much. i can’t be the only one thinks this
I want to preface this by saying I love my parents very much and they are amazing people who have sacrificed a lot for my wonderful upbringing.
Now for context. I am 19(F) My parents F(67) and M(57) have been married for 30+ years and have honestly scarred the way I see romantic relationships. They never hit each other or anything but it is still hard to live with them.
Here is some more context. my mom is from the south and is also black. (this is important info) and my dad is African. He came to America when he was 19. They have had extremely different upbringings, They also have different religions.
My dad followed in his grandfathers footsteps and married a woman of a different religion but here’s a fun fact. I have only seen my Grandfather and Grandma in the same room ONCE in my life. They don’t speak to each other, and no they aren’t divorced, it’s just not something they do, traditional families.
Anyway, my mom is a very driven and artistic woman who loves to do something and create. Which is one of my favorite things about her. But my father has never shown an interest in her art work or her interests. She is constantly putting him before herself and i can see it is breaking her down.
One thing she doesn’t like is being told what to do and is honestly the opposite of a submissive wife. She has her own money, has her own hobbies and will it tell how it is (love her) and she always told me to do the same.
My father is not a traditional african father per-say, but he is old school. In the sense, I belive he married my mom thinking she would change. He is controlling and a bit mean to my mom But he doesn’t do weponized incompetence (or maybe he does and i don’t see it) I would say he is a good father but a bad husband. and it hurts to see my mom going through this.
when it comes to my mom and dads families. There is a drastic difference. I can’t say I’ve ever seen my dad reach out to my mom’s family and talk to them. in fact it’s a bit obvious he dislikes them. I think he thinks he’s above them in a way (iykyk).
But my mom is the complete opposite. she calls and checks on my dad’s family, helps them. and gives her love. Which I think she shouldn’t. They don’t treat her right (or me). everything i hear about how my mom was treated when she got serious with my dad and married him is atrocious.
And now years later, my mom is miserable. My dad is miserable and I am also miserable. Having to live with people who are constantly cold to one another. I have to keep the peace or talk to them separately. Gosh I literally just wanna scream when I have to been in the room with them.
TL;DR: My mom, dad and me are miserable and I think it would be best if they sperated. My mom is bring mistreated and my dad needs to work on himself greatly.

Hey guys, i’m living in west village next year, Barton Housing actually, can someone give an honest review of what was like. I’m going to be at the LA building a lot and the library, so i am dreading the walks there. Is it worth it?
Can someone pls tell me what it was like to live at Barton. I’m living there next year and it doesn’t look like there was a lot of space to put clothes.
The dresser in the middle of the beds is a little confusing to me. Is there actually just 1 dresser?.
