standing up to my abusive dad

I’ve been trying to separate myself from this man for years now. Mind you after trying to manipulate me by telling me he was su\*cidal (he did the same thing when I was in 8th grade and there was a CPS case open, I’m 23 now) He sent a long text saying he’s stepping away from our relationship and ending it literally with “Dad is out”💀 This was my long ass response/rant because I’m so over it. I can’t wait until I am fully financially independent, it’s just a hard situation because my mom is still with him, but I’m realizing I’m gonna have to leave her too

trying to become a professional/looking for a mentor

I am blown away by the love this sub has given me on my posts🫶🏾💕I love this community you guys are so supportive! I’ve gone the teaching and choreography route mainly since graduating college and I get asked (almost all the time with my adult classes) if I still want to be a performer😭 The answer is I definitely do but still have such a hard time believing I’m even good enough to give it a try and really train. I guess my question is where do I start?? I still want to teach but there’s something in me longing to perform. I’m also am actress so have been thinking about getting an agent but don’t know where to begin with all this? I would love to find a mentor as well so if anyone wants to connect on that, I’m totally open!!!

My dad threatened suicide after I told him I was suicidal

I can’t even think right now. A little bit of context, my dad was (is?) abusive physically, sexually, and religiously and he continues to tell me I’m lying. CPS investigated the whole thing after multiple of my teachers and friends parents were concerned about what was going on. They said it was a he said she said and closed the case. That was when I was in middle school and I’m 23 now and feel so developmentally arrested. I’ve been sleeping in my car because I can’t afford to be anywhere but their house and we got into a huge argument about it last night where I left. A few things keep playing in my head. When the CPS case first happened he told me he was so saddened by me making it up he wanted to commit suicide. Directly telling me he put a gun to his temple. Mind you I was 12. A little over a decade later, he said the same thing to me after I told my parents I thought I would commit suicide before they believe me. His response was (after him saying he wouldn’t touch me physically anymore) was to get on his knees and pull on my shirt and waist and proceed to tell me he wants to kill himself again at the thought of me thinking like this. Mind you this all happened in our front yard. There’s so much else and idek what I’m doing by making this post but I guess just to find community or talk about how insane this is I just can’t believe it. My brother finally believes me after years of my dad telling him I’m crazy. I feel like he’s gonna get him again because thats exactly how he got him back on his side so many years ago. Idk what to do and I’m realizing now that my mom doesn’t care either. She actively defends him in fact even tricking me into seeing and talking to him.

just wanted to show off my girls:)

I just think the Addy mold is so stunning. I desperately want Claudie though and to expand my collection. I also have no good storage options for them rn lol so they just kinda follow me around, but I love them! I have a PC Addy, JLY #45 and I believe the one on the far right is a JLY #1! Desperately resisting getting them new clothes after payday😫

yuck….

I can’t believe there aren’t more conversations about how racist this show and Kelli and Judy are. They shouldn’t have touched Parkers hair (not physically I mean they should not have done anything to it as in changing it) and to demand that the curls be more defined is so disgusting to me. As a black girl who grew up dancing in Dallas and doing drill team in Frisco, I’m really not surprised I’m just infuriated that things aren’t different. I did everything I could to manipulate my hair for people like this and it became so unhealthy. The expectation for her to essentially have to finger coil her hair to give it a looser appearance is insane and I know their makeovers are intended to be maintained. Parker already mentioned all of the work that goes into maintaining it. A huge reason why I got locs and I’ll just say I know they would NEVER allow a girl with locs on the show no matter how many retwists she gets, they barely let girls with braids on. That in itself should tell you how racist this organization is. Also the cut was so lopsided in the end probably because they don’t know how to do a curly cut and her hair is clearly different textures in different places which is gonna cause different types of shrinkage and reaction to whatever tf curl cream they put in her hair. The shape of her cut was perfect before.
