They seriously crossed a red line.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In this day and age, going no contact with family members is more and more common. It doesn’t matter if it’s your mother, daughter, sister, brother, or father, if someone does or says something you don’t like, it’s common protocol to never speak to them again. It’s a bit extreme, and not to mention dramatic, but of course everyone is entitled to their decisions. If you don’t want someone in your life, then no one can force you. So what’s the pr…

We all have our own boundaries, but at what point do we cross the boundary of, ‘being nice and generous’ into the territory of, ‘now we’re being used.’ It’s all individual, it’s all up to the person. Lines get skewed when family gets involved. We all know the feeling, and we should all listen to our ins…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Christmas is a holiday favorite. We all remember waking up in the early hours of the morning to open gifts from Santa. The lights, the tree, and stockings hanging above the fireplace, it gives us the feeling of a warm embrace. Some families have a big ham for dinner, or maybe a pot roast filled pumpkin, but either way it’s always warm, satisfying, and hits all the tender taste buds that have us wanting more and more. It’s important to never for…
