Reply to comment by ashleyxokidd in Warnings to the wannabe cryptid hunters: How to actually handle demons of nature by girl_from_the_crypt

I read your line, "I think a lot of it has to do with you being so much like your mother." and was 😯😯 someone from real life is totally calling me out!! Then i realized you were talking hypothetically... although you're not wrong and weirdly enough, it is why my dad hates me!! Oh well, my mom and I have a great relationship, so while I love you dad...I don't need your approval anymore! 😁

It’s okay love!!! I’m right there with you! Both of my parents see pieces of the other in me and make it well known they hate it when it’s seen😅🥹

hugs We've got this!! It took me a long time to realize I don't need others' approval. As long as my kids are happy, healthy(within my powers), and treat others well, then I'm succeeding! I'm still figuring things out.

Awe you’re so sweet! :) it’s so refreshing/hard to come across other gentle(but fiery🔥) souls on the internet. That’s all that matters though! As long as you’re trying for them and showing them what it is to respect and love you can’t ask for much more! I thought I knew everything at 18 here I am 3 years away from 30 and feel like I don’t have a clue! Lmao. I try my damndest not to care what others think of me as well I’ve always struggled with being the anxious care too much and apologize for everything type but as I get older that has waned a good bit. It does get exhausting but as you said after a certain point/age you think how much energy youve wasted on others and realize it’s not worth it. It’s truly liberating. If they don’t love you the way you are quirks and all then fuckkkkemm! I don’t have kids myself yet but I can only imagine what that love feels like. So many take having a family or a close knit family for granted. It’s a hard thing to watch when it’s something you’ve struggled with/wanted all your life. Sorry for the crazy rambling though!! Is it apparent I have no friends irl anymore??😅 thank you for being so sweet and kind! It’s a rarity these days. Sending much love and happiness to you and your little ones :)
