Who says you can’t be pissy and pretty (and maybe a little traumatized)?Episode Highlights:16:39 - I was supposed to respect their religion and understand that I am filthy to them and stay away from them. I thought about it, and a couple days later, I did sit down with this other Witness and I said, how fucking dare you? I was disfellowshipped how many years ago? And this was decade. And I remember her getting emotional and saying she was sorry because I said, I am not a disfellowship person. I am Emily. I am a person. I have feelings. I have emotions. I have children, or a child at that time. I am a good person, and you can't tell me any fucking different. And how dare you discriminate and tell her or warn her that I'm disfellowshipped? And she got very frazzled, and I felt good about it.21:01 - Especially with my mom going through brain cancer and all that now, that somehow, some way, because a mother-daughter relationship, a mother-child relationship really, is one of the most important relationships you will ever have. And so I have been always hoping that you guys would reconcile. 28:39 - For me, I feel I've had enough. I feel toxic relationships. I've been around enough narcissists and I work for doctors. I've been in the medical field forever, and it's just like, silence to me speaks volumes. How much more proof do I need that she doesn't give a shit about how I feel?Disclaimer:Pissy but Pretty is all about real talk—raw, unfiltered, and sometimes messy.
