My Brother Left My Original Super Nintendo Outside In A Box For Years
I’m actually heart broken. I left my original, working Super Nintendo and collection of games (that my late mother gave me) at my parents house when I moved in with my now husband. I assumed it was safe in the attic for the past 5 years. When I came home for Christmas this year my brother tells me it’s ruined.
He had used it at some point apparently, then brought it back to my parent’s and left it in the side yard in a plastic storage box. He said he’d “check on it periodically” but never told me it was there or moved it literally 20 feet into the garage. If he had just told me it was there I would have flown home just to move it to the attic myself. When he “checked on it” this year, the box had broken down and everything was ruined by water.
I’m so upset. Especially about the Dr. Mario. It was so special to my mom and I that I got a Dr. Mario tattoo the day after she died.

My 16 Year Old Sister Spent Two Hours Cooking Christmas Dinner And My Mom Wont Eat Because Shes Mad That My Sister Didn’t Like Her Present
The gift was a pink purse. My sister doesn’t use purses and she also hates the colour pink.
There are many types and degrees of dysfunction in families, but psychotherapist Sharon Martin says they tend to be unpredictable, chaotic, and sometimes frightening.
“Quite simply, dysfunctional families don’t know how to deal with feelings in healthy ways,” she writes.
“Parents who are dealing with their own problems or are taking care of (often enabling) an addicted or dysfunctional partner, don’t have the time, energy, or emotional intelligence to pay attention to, value, and support their children’s feelings.”

My Entire Family Wanted A Puppy But Im The Only One Who Takes Care Of Him
As Claudia Black said in her book It Will Never Happen to Me, alcoholic—and dysfunctional—families follow three unspoken rules: don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel.
According to the first one, you must act like everything is fine and make sure everyone else thinks you are a perfectly normal family.
This is often extremely confusing for children who sense that something is wrong, but no one acknowledges it. Because of that, children conclude that they are the problem.
