I took my boyfriend to meet my mom over Mother's Day weekend and now she likes him better than me. I'm refusing to give her his cell number because I know she's just going to text him my middle school photos or something. Now she's threatening to just FedEx him copies directly. AITA if I just move out and let them be very happy together?


Sam

Thank you for letting me use you to figure out how to fuck in a bunk bed, though. It was a beautiful parting gift.



Dani

I was thinking of our other mothers on Sunday too. In my universe, anyway, we had two, the one who bore us and the one who raised us.



Elspeth

How're you doing? Completely over the asshole? Ready to party?



Katie

How'd the thing at Alex's going? I felt bad for dragging Sam away, but also not.

Alex Summers, huh?

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

I'm very happy about it. I was never close with Alex. We were colleagues. I like Caleb a lot.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

Good. I was on a team with Alex for years, so I'm glad he's found someone. Which is awkward to say because Lorna's my half-sister.

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

Yes, And Alex's ex-girlfriend was my confidante when I fell for Alex's rival for Lorna. It's all a mess when you think of those things.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

You fell for Iceman?

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

Yes, for my sins.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

I'm so sorry. (I knew him mostly when he was an obnoxious teen.)

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

I knew him as an obnoxious adult! (He's a dear friend).

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

Are you still Canadian?

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

No. Another reason why I feel I can't easily incorporate these lives into two present entities.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

It's definitely complicated.

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

You don't seem that conflicted.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

I'm here without my sister and my daughter, Seth.

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

There it is.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

Yeah, no shit. We're all conflicted.

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

It felt like you were being judgmental about how I was handling the conflict.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

No, I just don't understand. It's not how Sam and I are handling it, but that doesn't matter at all as long as it works for you, right?

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

That's correct. Caleb probably sees it more like I do than you both do.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

Whatever works for you both.

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

And you. But I know what it's like to remember and then lose your twin sister, and I'm sorry that's happened to you too.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

I hope you have someone in your life who can fill that spot, at least to some extent.

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

I don't. I don't know that anyone could.

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

Scott is that for me. I'm a pair with him.

Re: Seth

[nola_northstar]

How did that happen?

Re: Seth

[nola_quicksilver]

We were roommates but then we kissed in the kitchen and fell in love.
