Ugh just reading that reminds me of the bottomless wells of sorrow in our world, whoever wrote that is suffering so much, not from the experience he's describing but from larger, much vaster forces that are completely invisible to him.

Is Jastiger the one who keeps getting called out in the PYF selfie thread for sending creepy PMs to ladygoons? That sounds familiar for some reason.

Yes.

But it was only one person calling them out without posting the message so who knows.

But deep down I believe.

I'm not sure how to deal with my mother.

My sister is going through a midlife crisis and is turning her life around, ending a decade-long relationship with her stoner boyfriend and moving out with a friend, etc. My mother sees this as bad (because... change is bad? I dunno) but struggles with telling my sister since she has a bad temper and probably would tell her to mind her own business, ghosting her in the process.

The problem is that since she can't complain to my sister, she keeps complaining to me about her and how we are her entire life and if we weren't alive she'd have no reason to live. This is incredibly depressing to hear and I have tried to tell her that outlook is not particularly healthy but she just doubles down on how I can't understand because of how hard it was to have us and her life. I mean, she's right but it leaves me with nothing to do.

I know she's incredibly lonely (divorced, has very few friends, I'm in another country) but I have no idea what to do, I hate talking about that kind of thing. I mean, I have no life either but I would never complain about it to her or anyone else.

I'm sorry this confession is not more exciting but I can't talk about this with anyone and I needed to vent.

Yeah E/N doesn't have a Family Issues Megathread but probably should

Anyway your mom should travel. She should probably also get therapy but travel would pretty directly address the thing where she's apparently forgotten how to live for herself. Retired people travel alone all the time; she should go on a guided tour of some foreign country. Italy and France are good for old people.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Mom problem goon: It sounds like she is dwelling on your sister because she doesn't have enough to do. Tell her to do some volunteer work, get a job if she doesn't have one, go to some group excersize classes, really anything that gets her around people and gets her mind off things. Maybe have her come visit you as long as she keeps the bitching about your sister to a minimum.

Bottom line is she needs to get out of the house and do poo poo.

I'm assuming she's in her thirties (although the age wasn't mentioned) and therefore can't have a midlife crisis which you have when you are middle aged. 30s isn't middle aged. I see that a lot reading something online, especially today for some reason. Americans seem to assume middle aged is when you're in your 30s? "middle age" usually starts around ~45. The general definition for a person in his 30s is "young adult". At least that's the definition here, I doubt it's different in the US. It just seems to be a mistake that's made a lot.

My anonymous confession is that this is kind of a pet peeve of mine even though it's irrelevant to my own age.

My non-anonymous confession is that I eat peanuts with a spoon too if I eat them around anything that doesn't like to have greasy, oily fingerprints all over it. It's just cleaner.

Women are treated as aging prematurely if you grow up around a lot of douchebags. 30s really isn't middle aged, but if you're a guy who only values women for their youth...

middle aged was in your 30s 30 to 40 years ago, and America is pretty slow to update such things in our culture.

last i heard real middle age is in your 50s nowadays, due to increased life expectancy

I think the definition is also psychological in the personal development department. After all, we humans spend basically the first two decades of our life more or less in constant development and growing. Eventually that just slows down and we establish ourselves as a personality and have differing needs and desires dependent on where we are in life. Still the definition is a good measurement stick. I hear people complaining about their bad knees and general bad health in their 30s and that's just indicative of a lovely lifestyle and nonconstructive attitude, not a sign of you being "middle aged" and "slowing down".

I feel like your mid 30s is certainly middle age as you can working a job with people almost young enough to be your children.

I tried to have a productive midlife crisis by joining the military.
So far so good.
