Park and ride dfw airport

My ex and I got together in october, technically started dating on Halloween. So Basically first month and a half was great then we started arguing and fighting. Im easily brought to anger and prone to say very mean things and call names. She gaslights and uses manipulation and confusion tactics to discredit any point I make or bascially any feelings i would express. This led to me eventually starting the break up/get back together cycle. That lasted around 5 months, so based on the person I know she is, i began to suspect she might be hiding something from me. there were tiny clues, little loose ends, i would see, she would get defensive about messaging certain people, there was another dude in NY that she was also 'dating' but long distance, other simps and dudes around our town who were always close to call upon and utilize for her. No productive conversation came of most of the things i expressed though i must say im bad at expressing things like that so alot of times i just got mad and then an argument then i would say something mean or cold and then that was the focus and we never fixed the problem. She does onlyfans fulltime and if u know the workings of that its way more than onlyfans, its instagram, twitter, sextpanther, manyvids, fetlife, throne, reddit...all of it, so she never wasnt working even when she wasnt active online that day everything she does is for that, her main motivation every day was to get pretty and show strangers her pussy n stuff, and get suggestions for tasks and punishments and such. I took it all with a grain of salt and let the punches roll to the best of my ability until she would do some new blatantly disrespectful thing like send me to her profile with gifs of her ex fucking her in her back yard at the top of the page. So at least once a week for about five months i would break up with her and leave and then come back when i calmed down a day or so later. i suspect she slept with people on those times but i only ever got proof of one time. this would be the break up before the real break up so essentially about two weeks ago, i drove to another state to retrieve her car because our mutual friend had gotten arrested in it and if i didnt go get it it would be towed. so i went and got it to show her im there for her hoping to get back together. we sat in her car for a while and talked and i happened to open her glove compartment and noticed two polaroids of her and this black fellow fucking, using our spreader bar. crushed. i was so hurt i couldnt stand it. So we eventually talk and i start thinking that someone had to take the pictures i saw and realize it was my best friend, so i ask did u fuck him too? she says no. okay, sure. some time later that day were riding with a friend to another part of town and she hands me her phone to plug into the charger, i couldnt resist, i opened the photos app in her phone and theres a video of her blowing my best friend. i almost threw it out the window, but i threw it back to her instead. now for the sake of transparency, i have been abusive, not like beat her up abusive, but abusive, on one occasion she punched me first no excuse but its what happened, as well as during one argument i was going to leave and shes begging me to stay and she said she would do anything so i told her to blow me and she did, I felt horrible for it so i stopped it i was slut shaming her essentially, so she could argue i had done those things leading up to her doing what i saw in the pictures and video. now this all happened three days after we had broken up. just three days. its why it was so hard to see. so i tried to forgive her, tried to over look this behavior that proved all i had been thinking up to this point. and i couldnt, my pride and my heart were hurting while i stayed with her, so i left, and came back that night and i realized i dont love her, i dont love myself, and i dont want to be here listening to anything she has to say anymore. so i left, it was a fight getting out the door but i did leave finally. she hates me probably and i dont really think about her too much, im recovering from constant gaslighting and im working on getting my anger back in control because she brought something out of me i never knew was there. i never knew i could be such a huge asshole. i did things i thought i would never do. it sucks because nothing between us will ever be okay again and she was my friend, previous to this we had been through some rough times together and has relied upon one another readily. i just hope she can one day accept responsibility for her actions and be real with herself about who she is.

Is someone not picking up poop in front of your house? Is there an off leash dog in your neighborhood with a clueless owner? Did someone bring an out of control dog to the off-leash park? Is your neighbor walking uncomfortably close to you with an untrained dog? Here is where you can dump out your feelings and frustrations about these or whatever other topics you wish!
Just as a friendly reminder, the same rules regarding conduct in the general sub apply here as well.

On May 25, 2023 @ 2:00am I was rudely awoken by a 2 stroke gas leaf blower blasting extreme noise into my apartment next to Otwell Plaza. This went on for 4.5 hours & at times in tandem with 2 of these machines running simultaneously and a tractor scraping the ground joined in too. The most torturous part of this event is that they would run these machines for an hour or so, leave for 40 min, let me get back to sleep then return for another hour or 2, then this all repeated again to have woken me 3 times in the 4.5 hour period. To blow dust around a parking lot. BROOM ANYONE??? This guy even does a #%%^ You Dance because he knows I am recording him!
This went on all winter long for every single snowfall. I complained to City of Edmonton Bylaw 4X to no avail. They wouldn't even divulge if a fine was dealt. The health & well being effects on me are great: sleep lost, circadian rhythm messed up, extreme stress from sleep deprivation!!!!!!
I am beside myself that this is being tolerated by City of Edmonton Bylaw. It is not only me who is affected, I am in a large building with many senior citizens & kitty corner form an actual Seniors center. I can only imagine the amount of natural life this noise is robbing from the lot of us. I am outraged & screaming at these guys from my balcony is ignored as readily as the City of Edmonton does. The city can't realistically give an exemption to this on a regular basis, that's plainly ignorant toward citizen's.
Please let me know your thoughts, I do not want to hear about landscapers jobs. If you are or know a lawyer who is willing to begin applications even a class action including many neighbours who would join, plz message me as well.

I’m 18+ and all characters and participants must be 18+
Lights, camera, action!
The live audience cheered and clapped, whilst garish lights flashed all over the large stage. A blonde busty women, dressed in a suit - the presenter. Her face looked uncomfortably plastic, to the point where it was a surprise that she wasn't melting underneath the stage lights.
"Hello, and welcome to The Gameshow!" she called into the crowd excitedly. "I hope you're all as excited as I am to get started, because as you know, you either ride it..."
"Or you lose it!" The audience called back the cheesy line, having heard it hundreds of times before.
"And for all you viewers at home..." she turned towards a nearby camera. "You could get the chance to come on to The Gameshow. All you have to do is send a text with your age and name to 696969, and we'll be in contact!" A set of disclaimers flashed across the screen for all viewers.
"Now, enough of that. I think it's time to play, right?" The audience cheered in approval. "Let's meet our first contestant!" The stage lights dimmed, a spotlight shining down on to an opening panel in the floor of the stage. A platform slowly started rising underneath the stage, bringing up the first player.

If that's of interest to you, please get in touch at Demondork on Kik and come with any questions you have, clarifications you need and ideas you'd like to share. Just please do more than just tell me you're interested. Don't worry about responding slowly/late, I still want to hear from you. Finally, please no chat requests, I will simply ignore them.

OK so I've an Indian Scout (not bobber) with a stock seat. I'd heard these were a bit on the uncomfortable side, for long rides. In reality they're probably worse than sitting on a rock..
Question is which seat do you recommend for long distances (needs to be two up or single plus passenger).
It needs to be easily available in the UK (as Corbin cost a fortune to deliver to the UK - plus import tax hassle and I can't test it first etc).
Lastly, shouldn't be too expensive (or I'd just get a Corbin imported).
​
Thanks!!

Don’t mind driving, we tend to stick to Stewarts Park and Preston Park but would like a change if anyone has any ideas!

I'm looking to get a bike and I'm stuck between 4 pretty popular choices.
Exc 300 - Exc 350 - Exc450 , Never considered exc 500 ( maybe thats the one?)
Daily commute, riding to school, silly things with friends, occasional highway/forest riding/uphill climbs, maybe a long trip once or twice a year
Im worried that 300s/350s wont be able to comfortably cruise highway speed but 450s/500s aint gonna be as much fun in the forest and tight sections
Which one of them would fit me perfectly?.

By the time I looked up and saw the semi truck parked at the stop light, it was too late.

Seems like the community path near central street and junction park is open today. Haven’t seen any official announcements though

Some back story, my son has started riding cross country racing with his grandfather and wants me to race with him.
So I am looking for a sport quad that is kinda like a Honda Civic, absolutely nothing special but can be upgraded to infinity ^andbeyond as he grows and I need more ability to keep up with him.
Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

I dont even know how. (Could this be considered spoilers? Idk) you know the scene where it shows john sitting alone eating. Idk why, just that camera shot of him eating alone made me cry, not like overflowing tears, just a silent cry. This was my first time re watching it since my brother and sister wanted to watch it but i have no clue how i cried for jurassic park

Thank you to u/Far_masterpiece_7739 for proofreading and suggesting edits

​
Memory transcription subject:Talik, Venlil exchange program participant
Date[Standardised human time]:13.05.2136
As My exchange partner and I stepped out of his house and into his car I was quite unenthused about where we were going. We were headed to a steam fair, yes an actual real life steam fair, this is something a yotul would enjoy, and I was no mere uplift.
[2 hours later]
It took half a spheking paw to get here, ugh, at least it was a chance to listen to more of that wonderful, though oddly named, human music, of the metal genre, my current favourite song being full circle by Five finger death punch, an odd and very predatory name, but it seems the same is true for a lot of human music. As we pulled into the seemingly random field there was an old man, in what my human had told me was a hi vis jacket, making strange hand gestures at us that my human somehow understood, we drove into another field, this one full of semi orderly rows of many different types of cars, we then got out and walked through the long grass towards a green booth of some kind in front of a small also green bridge, there were two middle aged human women in the booth, after my human paid £10 we were allowed in, at first it was less than impressive to our left was a man in an oddly coloured suit and purple top hat on a large stage, in front of us was a large empty area fenced off with rope, and many older vehicles were off to our left along with some “bouncy castles'' as my human had explained to me before and several stalls selling various items.
We went over to the left, past the stage and several food stands that smelled absolutely incredible, we made our way to a large horizontal wheel that suspended five other horizontal wheels that each had three sets of seats suspended from them, my human decided this would be a good way to “break me into it”, I decided against pointing out the very predatory language, and agreed to go on, my human gave the ride operator £3 and we both got on, my human being the bigger of the two of us had to sit next to the padded wall likely to reduce the effects of inertia, after a short wait for it to fill up, the ride started to play some music and slowly spin each the top one spinning the opposite direction to the others, the ride slowly got faster and after about a minute the operator announced, over the PA of the ride,that it was “time for turbo mode” and to “squish your partner”, and so I did, I allowed myself to slide across and bump into him at speed, I hit him harder than I intended, and apologised, he said nothing and simply pushed against the centrifugal force pushing us into the padded wall and moved us both to the opposite side of the cart, and laughed saying that he barely felt my impact “of course you didn’t, you have the most messed up physiology I have ever seen” I laughed out smiling in spite of myself.
After the ride stopped we moved past a giant vertical wheel, that my human called a Ferris wheel, and a large tower with a slide running around the outside, called a helter skelter my human said, and on to what my human said was one of his favorite rides ever, the swinging boats, from where we stood they looked quite tame, something was wrong, my human was an “Adrenaline junkie” as he and several of his friends had called him, meaning two rectangular boxes with seats in them just hanging there was clearly not all there was to the first steam powered ride I had seen at this steam fair, as we ascended the stairs to get on I saw an old man in amongst many valves, levers and gauges, my human paid the man £3 and one other person was on the ride with us, we were at one end and she was at the other, she smiled at us and laughed at my concerned face after my human gave some obscure hand sign, I should really learn the human hand, face and head language, just then I noticed a sign that read “all riders do so at their own risk” I was now very worried, I didn’t say anything though as I knew that my human would never intentionally endanger me, just then an ear peircing screeching sound started, causing me to Jump in fright, we were then told to hold onto the netting behind us and put our feet on the bench in front of us, then the box we were in started to swing, and I realised what they would do, after about [20 seconds] we were swinging so far that the box, or boat as my human had corrected me several times now, went from horizontal to vertical, with every swing, my human and the other one on the ride were smiling and laughing with each other while i firmly closed my eyes, my human noticed my discomfort and spoke, as softly as he could to be heard over the sound of the rushing air, comforting me and making sure i was ok, and trying to lighten the mood with a small joke here and there, eventually I felt brave enough to open my eyes and see the open sky on the other side of the netting, then we swung back and i was looking down at the human female smiling comfortingly at me, then i felt the air rushing in my face as we swung back and i couldn't help but bleat in surprise, this caused both humans to “awww” simultaneously quickly followed by the human female saying “jinx” and them both laughing, this time i joined in too.
About a minute later we were off of the ride and i felt like the ground was moving under me for a few seconds after i got off, right next to the boats was a small booth with several confectionaries on the rear wall and several very old looking weapons on the counter, there was a human mother helping their child to aim one of them at the confectionaries and then a small pop was heard as a cork flew from the end of the weapon and i saw a small pink cuboid with a green being called a dragon(that looked like if someone recoloured an Arxur and made it more square) on it, labelled “CHEWITS” fall backwards off its shelf, the woman running the stall then collected the tube from the trough at the bottom and passed it to the child who ran off happily, with his mother in tow. My human decided to challenge me at this game, I foolishly accepted and quickly wasted £15 of my human's money to only glance at a very large tin of biscuits, my human on the other hand had hit all bar 1 shot and we now had several boxes of confectionery.
The next ride we went on was called “THE SUPER SKID CARS” according to the sign above the ride entrance. My visual translator had a hard time with that one due to the very odd font. My human said he used to love riding these with his mum when he was a child, and that he was somewhat surprised such an old machine was still in service, (frankly I was surprised any of these machines were still in service at all). My human told me that these were a precursor to “waltzers” and said that based on my reaction to the boats it may be for the best if i watched first, i agreed, as my human was about to get on, he saw one of his friends, she was called Summer and she was a very lovely person, once you got past her shell of self loathing depression and their exchange partner, Janak was her name, after the two of them had hugged, we collectively decided that the humans should go on and we would watch to decide if we wanted to join them the second time, so my human and Summer went on together, the ride worked by a large central wheel spinning with several carts facing inward being pulled around by it, with a break pedal that would slow the cart enough that it would rotate about its hinge to the point that it was facing the direction it was traveling, when you then let go of the break it would fling the cart around at high speed to face the other way and repeat, all the while a human song was being played quite loudly, the one playing while our humans were on was dancing in the moonlight, our humans were singing along, and quite loudly, until the ride sped up causing summer to scream slightly and then laugh with me,Janak and my human , as they were flung so hard that they bounced back and forth several times, this continued for a little while more with Summer squealing in delight at every swing, my human singing and laughing along all the while.
After summer got off we all walked back around to the food stalls, where Janak and I had the leaves of a lovely vegetable called a lettuce, according to Summer, slices of a purple vegetable with white stripes in rings through it, called a red onion, according to summer, this prompted me to ask why it was called a red onion if it was purple and white, both humans looked at me and laughed at that, before my human said “sometimes human names are very on the nose, and other times, not so much, don’t worry about it.”, all while laughing, our meal was then wrapped in a thin-ish flat disk of strayu, I asked how humans had strayu in large enough quantities to sell like this, so soon after meeting us, this caused summer and Janak to laugh and my human to look confused, Janak explained that the humans had many different types of strayu, called bread apparently, and that they developed it independently and much, much earlier on in their cultural evolution than us, he also said that it tasted, different, not necessarily bad, but definitely not the same. The humans had chosen a bratwurst hot dog each from a german food stall, run by the british catering company, whilst mine and Janak’s was from a greek stall, also run by the british catering company.
After eating we went up to the stalls to the right of the entrance, where, my human bought a new wallet, and I bought several human confectionaries, at the end, there were several very primitive cloth tents, with people walking around in clothes that were very clearly not of this century, and they all carried weapons, such as knives, swords and axes. My human got quite excited at this and went over to speak with a group wearing helmets, chainmail and animal skins with jewellery woven into it, they had a table full of axes and swords with shields around it and spears poking out of the ground nearby, one of them holding a Dane axe!, after a lengthy conversation with a few of them we walked away with a card containing contact information, so that my human could join their re-enactment group. The central area was now host to two humans on motorbikes performing stunts and various tricks, while an announcer spoke to the crowd, as we walked down the backside of the central ring and towards the boats again we saw several small and quite slow steam engines making their way in our general direction, after we passed them I saw a dog, a truly fearsome beast tied to the front of a colossal steam engine, with, what i assumed to be the engine’s owner nearby talking to a woman with another dog, after we passed them we decided to have a go at the plate smash stand, Janak, summer and myself did terribly but my human hit every shot bar one, then we kept on moving, Janak and I had decided to go on the “THE SUPER SKID CARS'' with our respective humans. IT WAS A HUGE SPECKING MISTAKE!!!! A few seconds in, I was clinging to my human’s arm crying, he was holding me, softly stroking my head and speaking soothingly to me. About a minute in, i was able to open my eyes and sit there, still clinging to my human, as he continued to hold me, i noticed that he too seemed to be on the verge of tears, although i suspected for a different reason, after a while i got used to the speed, and asked my human to start swinging us, he did and i screamed in delight, it was so much fun, we sung along to a song i don't know the name of and moved so fast, i could feel my stomachs shift and shake around inside my body, after the ride finished i was so high on adrenaline that i felt like i could do anything, the same could not be said for Jamak, he looked utterly petrified and on the verge of throwing up. We returned to the shooting area and this time we only spent £5 each and i missed every shot, but it was fun, my human only got a tube of CHEWITS this time, but we still had fun, we then made our way back to the ferris wheel, we all went on and once we reached the top we stopped and i thought that something was wrong, until i looked down, now i'm braver than most venlil but this height was insane, however i now knew why we had stopped, a man and his son were getting on, however as i leaned back it caused our seating pod to rock back and forth, this made me freeze in terror as i pictured us falling and going splat on the ground below, and then we were moving again, and then we were on the ground, but we were still moving and then we were high in the air again, after this cycle of up and down had repeated another three times we finally got off, my whole body quivering with the after effects of terror, Jamak was clinging onto Summer’s arm and refused to let go as she lugged him around.
We made our way back to the boats and we all decided to go on, all except Jamak of course, at least he had let go of summer by now, this time i kept my eyes open the whole time and several of the other humans on board were screaming in delight, it was hilarious, my human, summer and i were all laughing, and as the boat slowed down, my human let go of the netting and put his feet back down, then the operator told him to put them back up and to keep holding on, so he put his hands up to hold on again and as he went to put his feet back up, the boat sped up again leading to my human hanging vertically and as we came back down, summer an i tried to hold him in place and check to see if he was ok, but he just wouldn't stop laughing, after the ride had stopped and we had gotten off, he finally stopped, and loudly exclaimed “DID YOU SEE THAT, IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME, HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!” this prompted summer to loudly exclaim “suicidal cunt, your going to give me a heart attack one of these days!”, this caused him to chuckle again and say “you’re one to talk aren’t you? And I'm way more likely to have a heart attack than you, genetic disorders, remember?”This went on until we reached the car parking field, where we went our separate ways, i was buzzing the whole way home as we listened to even more music and chatted, once we arrived home my tiredness hit me like a stampeding mazic and i fell face first onto the sofa.
When I woke up my human had bought me a glass of apple juice and was sitting next to me with one of his dogs on his lap, the large German shepherd Labrador cross breed, named Leela. She was huffing happily as my human rubbed her stomach. It had taken quite a while to warm up to the large and loud beast, but now she was a brilliant addition to my little herd and I can't imagine living without her here.
“Thank you, for the day out, it was wonderful, and I’m sorry for the way I acted about it this morning.”
“That’s fine, I had fun, and it seems you did too, that’s all that matters, that we both had fun.”
“You're the best friend a venlil could ask for, you know that right? I love spending time with you Oscar, even if you don’t love me, just know that I love you…. sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”
“Hey, hey” Oscar said, softly, as I started to cry. “Just because I’m aromantic, doesn’t mean I can’t feel love, just not romance, I still love you, just platonically, now come and give me a hug, you silly sheep!” He said happily.
“I'm not a sheep, you stupid ape!” I responded jokingly, feigning indignation.
“I love you oscar”
“I love you too, Talik, now let’s get some dinner, we have to go back to work tomorrow.” and with that he stood up, finished his apple juice and walked into the kitchen.

I come from a road riding background, and decided to get into mountain biking to improve my bike handling skills and so I would have a bike I could take on more "spicy" long trips. I bought a Vitus Nucleus 29, as it fit me, had an air fork, and the guy used it once and sold it at half retail 2 years later!
I took the bike to my local trail and it is a lot harder than it looks. It doesn't help that the trails are all above my current abillity so I have a few questions.
- My bike has 780mm handlebars with a 9 degree sweep, this feels both wildly wide and not swept enough as it cause some pain on the inside of my wrists (which are a bit messed up from riding a desk) My instinct is to reduce them to around 740mm as that feels more natural especially when I moved my controls so I could use the "inner most" part of the grips. Should I tough it out and see if I adapt or should trust my gut reaction.
- On the sweep front My hands want to grip around 12 - 14 degrees when I do the "double pencil" check. Again, is this something that could be coming from my "roadie" riding style" or should I trust my gut, high sweep handlebars are expensive
- What is the best way of getting better on a trail that is too gnarly for me right now, is it find patches that I can almost do and repeat them, or do I need to do a lot of drilling on skills like trackstands, bhops and other bike control skills until I can tackle them? (I'm going to do that anyway it's whether to combine both types)
- How do you get restarted on the trail? My biggest issue is I stop, and then struggle to get both feet on the flat pedals and putting out power fast enough to get going. I'm used to clipless but wanted to right flats on MTB for the "getting tossed" factor and to learning better stroke smoothness etc. Is this just part of the learning curve or are their tips.
Also if anyone has some suggestions for good riding in the north of Stockholm (that is a little less rocky/rooty/scary than Gorvalns XCO) I would be hugely grateful

The next day they both went to plead with their professor. He was feeling pretty good that day so he allowed them to retake it. He told them to both come back tomorrow for an oral exam. When they both showed up he told one of them to wait outside while he tests the other. So one enters and the other puts his ear to the door to listen. The professor begins asking the question:
"You are riding in a train cart and you get too hot. What do you do?"
The student replies," I open the window."
"Ok. Now that window is 2 feet wide and 3 feet high. The train is traveling 50 mph going north and the wind is blowing at 15 mph due east. How long will it take for new air to replace the old air in the cart?"
The student is clearly confused at this impossible question and just answers,"I don't know." So the professor gives him an F, dismisses him, and calls in his friend.
He begins asking his friend "you are riding in a train cart and it gets too hot. What do you do?
He says,"I will take my jacket off."
"Ok. But its still too hot. What do you do?"
"I take my shirt off."
"I understand but its very, very hot."
"I will just get naked."
"Ok. But there's a guy in front of you getting a hard on by watching you strip naked!"
The student replies, "Professor, the entire train can fuck me in the ass I am NOT opening that window!"

I recently bought a ‘23 A5 sport back. My first Audi. Was looking for something zippy, not too zippy. Sporty looking but not really sporty looking. Just something nice. Anyway, going down a rabbit hole on the internet about when the first automatic transmission was built, it occurred to me why I have such trouble with the shifter in this car. Park and neutral are in the same spot with an extra button to push. Like a manual. But not. Lol. Lord have mercy. I’m aging out of technology.

Hi! Anyone knows how to commute from central station to vista recto? I know that there's jeepney to españa from park n ride but idk saan bababa papuntang vista recto ;-;

I (24f) work overnights at Amazon, I work most nights only taking the one day off they require. My car is in the shop with a busted transmission and will be for a couple more days but should be out by the end of the week. Hopefully. My mom has been borrowing my granmas truck to come pick me up everyday but is always 2hrs late or more. I'm frustrated that I have to sit and wait for hours after working my butt off and she says it's unreasonable for me to expect her to be there at 5am. Am I being ridiculous?
I live an hour away from work with my grandparents, my mom(46f), and my son(4m). My mom doesn't work, and hasn't had a job since I was 8. I dropped out of high school bc she wouldn't work, we didn't have any food in the house and the rent wasn't getting paid. I gave her all the money I was making and she was turning around and giving it to her boyfriend. When we got evicted from that apartment she dropped me off at my grandma's and I didn't see her again for another couple years. She ended up in jail somewhere in Texas. My gran and I drove down there to get her and she's been living with us since.
Things were going good, she got clean and turned herself around it seemed like. We moved and got a place together, supposed to go 50/50 on the rent but soon she just stopped paying. I signed the lease with her so I was stuck in place and honestly just happy to have my mom back so we worked out an arrangement that I wouldn't have to pay her to watch my son anymore and in turn I'd just cover the rent. But then I was paying rent, utilities, food, her kratom, her weed, her cigarettes, everything. Things weren't sustainable and now we're back at my grandparents.
I don't want to deal with her anymore but she's the only person I have to watch my son, overnight childcare doesn't exist here and I don't have the money to put him in daycare anyways. So my mom watchs him while I work and then comes and picks me up, and I'm buying her food, cigarettes, whatever she needs that day.
Since my car has been in the shop she's been giving me a ride. I don't have my license yet and my gran (understandably) won't let me drive her car without one. I have my permit and am working on taking the test but need my car to do that.
Every single day for the past two weeks she's been late, once leaving me to sit here for 5hrs. We've been arguing about it and she makes me feel bad for being upset but this is something she's always done. I used to go home with my teacher because they couldn't leave with me alone at the school but my mom just wouldn't show up. She says I'm being impatient and that it's hard for her to get up in the mornings.

First off my memory is trash because I was abused by my parents for my entire childhood so I barely remember anything, but I do remember a therapist suggesting I get away from my parents and have some space. Her suggestion was summer camp. I was 17.
I was super excited at the idea! I really wanted to stay at a camp that had the cliche outdoor activities.
Instead, my parents found a wilderness camp where you backpack the entire time. They told me it would be fun because it would be a bunch of kids my age like 20 of us and it would be just like a more active outdoor camp. I was just happy to get away from my parents so I agreed.
I flew in, and bumped into another kid going to a wilderness camp thing. He said he loved them and did them every year and they always had a bunch of teens so I was starting to feel more excited. However, when we landed it turned out he was part of a totally different camp that happened to be meeting at the same airport. when I met my group it was literally 5 other kids all younger than me by at least 2 years.
I called my parents crying and telling them it was nothing like what they told me, they said “hang in there” and that was that.
We backpacked very intensely. It was not pleasant. Lots of screaming at us to go go go. No time to talk to each other. We also did some stuff that was pretty unsafe. One of our camps was right by a bear. We crossed an ice ridge. I’m very active and love the outdoors but this shit felt unsafe and wrong.
The kids all hated being there, we all took turns running off when ever we happened to stay at a shared campsite we would look for pay phones to call our families and try to convince them to pick us up.
I can’t remember much but I remember thinking a few times I might die out here. I Remember crying on the phone to my parents and they repeatedly telling me to “hang in there” before I was back out on the trail.
In total the program was like 2 months. It was super traumatizing and I had told a few friends about it over the years and they all thought it sounded like one of those troubled teen wilderness programs.
But some of the kids didn’t seem like they were there as a punishment, it was almost like their parents just didn’t know what the place was. I only remember one kid on the trip who was a bit of a shit and I remember finding out his parents sent him on this as punishment.
I’m sorry this is unclear, it’s hard to remember I only recall bits and pieces here and there but it’s like trying to grab tissue paper out of the wind I keep catching a piece and then losing it again.
