My ex and I were on a road trip through Appalachia many years ago. We stopped at a diner for a pick-me-up. In our bland upper mid-west accent, we ordered two coffees and some French fried potatoes. It went like this:

Me: “Two coffees and a plate of fries, please.”

Waitress: “A plate of fries?”

Me: “Yes. A plate of fries.”

Waitress pours the coffee and goes to put the order in. She returns minutes later with a scoop of white rice on a saucer. Ex and I look at it, then up at waitress in confusion.

She repeats our order “plate of raahss.” Sounded exactly like “plate uh fries”. I said it again with decent annunciation. We laughed and got on the same page.

I had swallowed the “f” in “of”. Then there was the difference between midwestern and southern vowel sounds.

saying everyone has sinned or everyone is guilty just waters down the point. it's a coping mechanism used to (not purposefully) rationalize the, again, heinous behavior. Countries are not guilty. Individual people are. And there were thousands of individual monsters in Poland. Go learn, I'm sure they will happily deny or ignore it. This wasn't that long ago, this was based on pure demonic hatred and blood-lust or something worse.

TIL: I have nudes on the internet and I should be ashamed of them (no I don't, and no I shouldn't).

I did not realise to what extent this man is damaged. The second insinuation is that he has a big peepee, so small peepees are inferior, therefore he's not inferior. Betcha he scrolled my posts to determine whether I'm male first.

If you have a look at other posts in the thread, he's trying to die on a lot of hills simultaneously. Even responded to another post of mine, LOL.

Holy shit, not what I expected when I first posted a few hours back. What a ride.

Ok so maybe try writing down your concerns. Try and keep them short and to the point. I feel.. I dream.. I hope.. I'm sorry.. this is a big one. If anything remorse may be felt by your mom. Even if you don't feel like apologizing, apologize for your outbursts and reactions. Make sure to highlight that your reactions caused by her actions placed you in a feeling of disgust, guilt and embarrassment for the discovery mentioned in your post.

Whatever you do, just remind yourself that there is no book on how to raise children and they are doing their best. I'm not there so I am hoping it is just a strick house as it sounds. Other from that, own your feelings and reach out to your mom in a way that provides distance or mediation, ie a letter while still at grandma's. Maybe even have her write with you or proof read it before sending to mom.
