Goodness, that's a bit on the worrying side. I'm glad you're taking a little time away from all that before traveling, though. I feel that's for the best. And as for being busy - just make sure it doesn't stress you out too much, or anything. Take care of yourself! 💜

This is very lovely the hear and helps my heavy heart. I appreciate this more than you know, sweetie

Everyone needs to take time for themselves. The world can start to get to you, if you let it - and you're much too sweet to have it bearing down on you the way it seems to be, lately. I understand needing to do work, but please try to also relax as you're able to while you're staying at a hotel. I'm always happy to listen or chat, if you ever need a shoulder.

Can hang out whenever you want or feel a little better hun, hope you get things sorted out ^^

Thank you, Temmie ^^
I do enjoy hanging out with ya for sure but my replies may be mega slow for a bit

Wow....I'm not sure how to say this without sounding a bit biased so I'll just throw it out there and pick up the pieces later.
First off they have No right to be so mean or aggressive towards you, you've done nothing wrong! It's completely okay to be a little out of place, to not understand the culture or the language when you're in a foreign country in fact it is very much expected.
I've not traveled much abroad myself, only to Mexico a few time's and let me tell you half of the time I was just winging it.
I knew only a paw full of words in Mexican Spanish and knew nothing of their culture, but that was the Fun of it! To learn, feel and grow from the experience, not be shouted at, ridiculed or for f*cks sake called name's. That is Completely unacceptable!
*Hug's tight* I understand about a rough childhood, mine was bad too....
Who ever was doing this too you should Really have a Reevaluation of their position in your life.
That is Sooo Wrong of them!
You should be allowed to enjoy the little mistakes and the creative ways you find to communicate because you don't speak the language. You should be allowed to enjoy your time there without being browbeaten and treated like something less than human.
Shame on them for ruining what should have been a Great adventure!😠

*hugs back and nuzzles into you* It is so very nice to hear this support and comfort. I know I am not someone who is perfect and struggle to overcome my flaws but I just wish I could have been treated more like an adult.

How was Mexico overall? I'd love to know more sometime!

*Holds you tight, purring softly*
No one is perfect, perfection is a myth, an unattainable goal we are taught to try and strive for which only leads to stress and frustration.

You do fine and whatever flaws you may have you've more than overcome them from what I can see.
You Should have been treated with the respect and dignity that you deserve. Never let Anyone talk down to you love, you've nothing to be ashamed of and Everything to gain!

Mexico was interesting. This was back before the drug cartels took over.
The resort area is absolutely Gorgeous!
The inner parts (town's and city's) were nice but reflected a lot of poverty.
Then neat thing was the currency exchange. $1 was equal to nearly 1000 pesos! So you could take a couple of hundred dollars and live like a king for month.
However the down side is the reality of how poor the country truly is and how the people must struggle to survive.
Still it was a fun time and a Great learning experience.
I think the best part of visiting other countries is learning the culture first hand and meeting all of the fascinating people along the way.

Truly helps lift my heavy heart to have this, thank you sweet pea. *smiles a bit and nuzzles* It must have been an interesting experience and truly fleshed out the mind's horizon as well. I would agree with you on the last part indeed

It is only the truth and nothing less.

May I ask where you're from?

America! Southern side of it

Really? Hmmm......the Carolina's perhaps?

Draggy residesin Virginia, home of zero furry population....😔

I heard news on TV about the absurd temperatures in Europe, just like here, I know how the summer make us suffer. And well, I hope you can rest and relax, family has always been something complicated to deal with, I hope you find a good solution and continue to be happy and lovely as you are <3

It was insane! I felt like I was in a sauna almost and had to retreat into a bath full of cold water. Thank you for the kindness, sweet derg

I'm sorry to hear there are troubles going on. I wish you well and please know that I am always willing to be here for you if you ever need someone to vent to. Stalker dragon jokes aside, I can be serious and offer an ear to one in need.
Be safe

It's lovely to have you for sure. Really brings a smile to my face and I like talking!

What a happen stance. I love chatting too. Even ruin my sleep schedule because of it XD
But I am happy to be of help

That sounds like a revolting situation, especially the abuse. I am wishing that you can salvage the rest of the visit with some alone time. Good luck! Please take all the time you need!

Maybe thats just how the married into side of the family works? I don't know...I just wish they didn't bottle things up only to explode bleh :(

Yeah that's not great! I am hoping that there are folks you can rely upon as well. Please be well!

Hey, take the time you need, ya hear?

Thank you I surely am! I go back very soon now

Awesome. :3

I'm sorry you've had such an experience. Please take care of yourself; you shouldn't feel bad because of a few mistakes, and the people who made you feel that way are wrong. I hope you get back home safely.

Thank you I am almost home which excites me very much! Though I will have to get back to paying for independence once again

Really sorry to hear that! But I hope you will be better soon.Take your time. In this kind of situation a little bit of alone time might be for the best. Being aggresive toward someone just because they don't understand the culture is wrong on so many levels that I can't even describe it. Sending you hugs!

Maybe they are frustrated overall, I am unsure. I am so sorry if I have been so quiet and recluse these days but I am happy to have your understanding : )

Hey don't be sorry about that! It's not your fault everyone might not feel to good to talk with people and let alone online. I do have my own moments like this too. Especially after hard moments in life.
And yep people tend to ditch their frustration on someone else very often. Some people from my family were like this. It's really sad to hear that those guys were this unwelcoming to you. Having an extended understanding and knowledge about other cultures is just an unrealistic standard. No one would want to travel if they were critized and shamed upon with every little mistake or misunderstading.

It can be very eye opening to actually live with someone rather than just know them. I've run across the same many times in my life, even with close friends; however, I never thought people did things 'wrong', it was just their norm. Likewise, not knowing something is something that EVERYONE 'suffers' from. Even if you were able to get all the internet in your brain and access it at any time, within a few minutes, the data would be outdated and you wouldn't know everything.

I am honestly a bit shocked extended family would do such. There have been teachers in my own life that nurtured curiosity and helped foster a want to learn as well as others that were very strict and made me never want to learn about that subject they were so passionate about. It really is a shame when someone tries to shove things down your throat so you learn to resent anything that reminds you of that experience.

All that said, you should be there to explore, learn, enjoy and relax. At least I wouldn't think of going to Europe if I wasn't planning on enjoying myself; however, if there was a situation where I wasn't, I'd do the same thing and get to a place where I could enjoy. All that said, I can fully understand the awkwardness that may have come by the shift in plans, but family should be able to understand when people just want to explore and have some alone time.

So by all means, go out, explore, learn, relax, take it in and create incredible memories that you can thoroughly enjoy and recall with glee. It's quite clear you've an outpouring of people wanting to see you have a good time and I'd include myself in this as well. Do continue to take care of yourself, you are very important and a treasure :)

Thank you so very much, I have taken your words into heart. Sometimes I wonder if they just want to find faults but I am not sure of it really. At least I can hid in the room even if they dislike it and then go out to explore on my own. The last couple of days I went to a hotel and enjoyed the sights. Definitely worth it even if it caused a dent in my funds ^_^;

Oh my gosh sweetie... its taken me too long to see this and I am sorry for not seeing this sooner >< Firstly can I say I'm glad you are able to take some experience from your trip in Europe to take with you and treasure for the rest of your life =3 its those moments your gonna look back on and smile ^^
I am just really sorry to hear that not all has gone down well >< I'm sorry to hear that the rest of your trip has been tainted by what is just childish behaver >< it also saddens me to hear your childhood has not been the best >< from the short description you have given it sounds like you really had to grow up fast, faster than you should have done. However that does not give the right for your extended family to treat you the way they have >< no one is perfect! and just because someone has a lack of knowledge in something you have great knowledge in doesn't mean you should talk down to them!
You should not have not be shouted at or ridiculed or heck even called names! I mean that's stuff you hear in the playground at school not grown adults! If anything sweetie having to be forced to be independent at such a young ages may not have been the best but I bet its made you a stronger person and in my eyes more of an adult compared to these people calling you names and judging you on your lack of knowledge >< again the whole name calling thing is childish your way more of an adult than them that's for sure!
Being human we are allowed to make mistakes as that's how we learn in life its how we grow and having flaws is like mother nature, you can't beat her or out run her but you can get through it! you can overcome these things in life and become a stronger person for it.
Please remember one thing sweetie I may not know every single person you interact with but I know for sure that each person that does loves you for who you are! I know I do ^^ your such an inspirational person, you fire my motivation just hearing your words of encouragement!, your talented, your sweet, you have a heart of gold, your beautiful, your smile lifts the dark clouds when we talk and just an all round wonderful radiant young lady who is such a joy to be with ^^ No one expects a reply the moment they send a message so I dont think any of us mind waiting till you can find the time to reply ^^
I don't know how you found my picture I did of fluffle puff but I'm glad you did because now your a part of my life and that is something I am truly grateful for ^^ I may not be your first choice sweetheart but remember should you need to talk I will always be there for you ^^
