if you feel lazy and dont want to cook, buy some flour tortillas, refried beans, cheese, vegetables like zucchini, onions, bell peppers etc.. and throw it in the microwave and put some salsa on it after nuking, or heat in a pan if you want crispy___we eat this alot during summer when its hot and we dont feel like cooking after work. I also used pickled sweet banana peppers also sometimes. I am weird, i dont mind eating the same thing all week until i use up all ingredients.
Eskel, you definitely touched on something that I think about a lot. I didn't grow up in a cult, but I had an abusive, narcissistic mother, and estranged myself from her as an adult. I have no siblings, and I've always thought that my life would have been so different if I'd at least had a brother or sister who lived through (and could validate) the insanity I lived through. My mother was cunning, and fooled so many people. When I left, I'm sure I earned the title of "black sheep, ungrateful daughter." I have a huge, extended family (hundreds of cousins), and I have only relationships with a handful of them.
Having a sibling in those kinds of environments can be the best or the worst thing…I grew up as the family scapegoat, I am one of 5, and count myself extremely lucky to have one sister that believes my experience of what I went through. she is the only one that is willing to see how everyone else’s illusion of a seemingly happy childhood was built on *my* back. For everyone else, it’s easier to just believe my father’s stories and buy into the lies.
I think there's a pretty wide gap between getting married as a child and getting a tattoo as a child. A marriage usually involves exploitation or some sort of control when one or both people getting married are children. Parents or guardians are often harming or passing down harm from a high control situation, like the Order, when they marry off their children. If a child is getting married to an adult in a state without parental permission required, to an adult (I'm not talking 17 marrying 18, though I think nobody should get married at that age, I mean 17 marrying 25 or something like that)... that's a huge problem. A tattoo is something that's on your body - it doesn't involve anybody else. But a marriage is much more intertwined with every other life decision you make. A silly childish tattoo is not going to trap you in an abusive relationship. A child marriage almost always does.
Child marriages are rife with cohersion. I don’t think you can guarantee that the child wasn’t forced into marrying by their parents or their partner’s parents. This may be due to religious, cultural, or social pressures (I.e. teen pregnancy, etc). At least as an adult at 18 they have more opportunity at freedom by no longer being a minor in the eyes of the law.
I agree with Amanda. However, if the parents aren't going protect their children someone needs too. It is sad that parents don't protect the children. If the child is over 21, let them make their mistakes without judgement!
Agreed Eskel! You need to be mature. It doesnt matter 18 or 25 it has to do with the maturity. The patents to know about the maturity. Only can if you have a connection with the child. Impossible where you both come from.

Still on Amanda side!

So you need to have to have a license to fish, but anyone can have a child. Really?????
Eskel you are getting so liberal. Not a judgement but think about what you ate saying. If it were daughter what woukd you think?
