Good News Everyone!!! (The joysplosion thread)

Losing her job has made my mother...well...less of a bitch. I was able to air out some serious emotional issues between us that I'd been holding onto for years. We're not suddenly super close, but the constant passive aggression is now loving jest instead of the beginning of our estrangement. I have a lot of friends with awful parental relationships. I didn't want that to be us if it didn't have to be.

Also, I had a really good birthday because I have really great friends.
