I tried airbrushing the background, but didn’t love it so I slapped some black glitter over it and painted the eyes. I’m just not sure how I feel about it because it didn’t turn out the way I had envisioned. What do y’all think?

I haven’t had the chance to mow my backyard in a minute due to all the rain, but it looks like this little guy is appreciating that.

So I recently made a post about how APS was called while I was on vacation because a family member felt I was not entitled to respite care. I ended up taking down the post because it started getting some weird hate comments because of the fact that I was watching Hazbin Hotel 😅

All of that said, I really did wanna make an update to say thank you to everybody who offered advice and supportive words. It really really meant a lot to me and helped encourage me.

A few things I’ve done since then per people‘s advice:

•Quadruple checked that my family is blocked on all my socials and my socials are private now

•Made plans to no longer post vacation photos until I am home

•Requested a copy of the case report which I happily found out is being closed and no further action is being taken

•Found more suitable accommodations for grandpa that cannot be questioned while I take respite

•Made a another appointment with my therapist to discuss all the grief that this has caused me

Again, thank you so so much to everybody for their kind words and advice for this difficult situation. Family can be very frustrating, but the situation is not the end of the world, and I do deserve self-care!

Hey, so I’d love some opinions… I’ll be painting some nails for the movie premiere and I am super indecisive on what I should be doing. I’d love to put a character on them, but because I am closet cosplaying as Jax I thought maybe abstracted nails would be cute too? Does anyone have any thoughts?

Made a post on a a different subReddit talking about needing respite care. Used this photo and this was one of the comments I got lol. Super super helpful. Then again, I’m glad I didn’t receive worse I guess.

Silver lining there were a couple fans who found me in there though!

EDIT/UPDATE: I did end up receiving worse so I took down the post because who has time for that.

For a little background, I take care of my grandfather full-time. It is exhausting and occasionally I take respite to you know recharge and feel like a person again.

I always arrange for care for him while I’m away. But a family member decided that I guess I am not entitled to any sort of vacation or time away. They decided to call APS on me and while I was on vacation, I had to deal with the fear of my grandfather being taken away or being arrested for neglect.

Apparently, they found out because they were stalking my socials. Much to my chagrin, I had to lock everything down which really bums me out because I like to tag my tattoo artists and comment on people’s posts on Instagram, and now I feel even more isolated than before. But I can’t risk this family member stalking me like that as they have even threatened to get lawyers involved.

Anyway, all of this to say, I am feeling frustrated and more isolated than before. It’s as if this family member expects me to be a slave to them at the expense of my mental and physical health?

Sorry for the vent post. I just am feeling lost right now.
