  • I’m sorry for their kids, their son seems to be genuinely grieving, and whether they are rich brats or not that’s a terrible shocking thing to happen to your parents. But they were selling their mansion so they could build another 20 million dollar mansion in Forest Hill, and that’s hard to feel sorry for exactly. There aren’t many ethnic drug companies (save for the MS drug companies who actually invest all their profits into MS research, at least where I live, and are super generous) and I doubt he was running one of them. Their mansion was eventually just torn down, the wealthy Chinese prospective buyers declared it immediately to be bad luck when they entered with the real estate agent who found them. All pretty interesting.













  • Because of the medication I’m on and basically having PTSD from relationships, I’m pretty numb to feeling anything. I feel love for my dear friends and their kids, and my dog and my aunt, but I’m just numb to all the shit my ex does, who I still have to live with, I have really no feelings towards my parents except disdain and vague pity, and anything bad or good that happens I’m super flat to, and even find the bad things sometimes a bit funny. The meds help in that I don’t have spiralling anxiety attacks anymore at all which is wonderful, but I’m pretty detached, and while it’s often super helpful, sometimes it worries me that when I finally can not live with my narcissistic ex anymore I won’t get depth of emotion back. I worry he’s destroyed it for good.






  • Probably 1997, way before anyone had cell phones routinely, I went to an open house kind of interview for some cell phone company who were hiring people to go door to door. They hired everyone who came on the spot, and I never heard from them after that day. The only thing I remember was when the guy who interviewed me said that eventually everyone would have their own phone number, and that was such a foreign concept then.
