All of us the enjoy the memes you post are like a little family. It might not seem like much but if you think about the people going through the worst of it, I’m certain you’ve improved their day. Sometimes when things are dark, all it takes is a laugh, or mildly positive moment to cling to and act as the seed that will eventually bloom into a healthier outlook on life. So thank you for the light you’ve brought to my life.
I post stuff for a lot of different reasons but helping other people have a slightly less shitty day is one of them. Sure. I can’t make good stuff for people or entertain them in that way but hopefully I can show something some people haven’t seen and get a kick out of.
I was just coming to these comments to say if anybody needs a mom and isn’t too hung up on “appropriate topics for a Mom to talk about” and doesn’t have any weird expectations that I’ll behave like a neurotypical- I fuckin got you fam just DM me.
Start with something to let me know you need a Mom or I might say something awkward but yeah.
True story- my mom was a malignant narcissist (diagnosed!), a drug and gambling addict, and a real piece of shit. And when I was much younger, I was all upset I didn’t ever know what it was like to have a “mom” like you see on TV. So I decided, I’ll be my own fuckin mom.
I’ve been honing my Mom skills ever since. Any time I’d think, “Man, I could use a Mom,” I’d ask what that person would be doing, figure out what it was I was missing, and then I’d just… do that. I’d talk to myself, I’d comfort myself, my chocolate chip making cookie skills are off the fuckin chain!
You can be your own Mom. You can be anybody’s Mom. Those are all skills you can practice.
I am currently living what is pretty close to the quintessential happy family. From the outside I bet it looks even better. I grew up in a very different situation. There are literally times I am jealous of my own kids because they have no idea how shitty some people’s lives are.
Personally I still feel like a damaged human that doesn’t deserve the life I have.
I dont know where I was going with all of that. I guess what may look like happy may not actually be.
I’m one of the ones with no mum or dad. It gets hard sometimes to hold back the bitterness and cynicism when I see a family just… Happy.

I really appreciate it :)

Thank you. A lot.
Just wanted to say that your post was the first one I saw on Lemmy today after waking up, and it brought a smile to my face too.
I showed it to my cat as well but he can’t read so his mileage may vary.

Be the Mom you want to see in the world.
Sometimes it feels like that would totally be me without my little girl.

Anyway, I hope you find your happy.
I’m really sorry that you’ve had that, that’s crappy. I hope you can find people to give you the love and support you deserve
