I don't want to go home for holiday break. I'd much rather stay at Hogwarts. It's not very fun at home, and mother makes me uncomfortable sometimes.

She says some really mean things, especially to my friends during my birthday. And to me, as well. It doesn't seem like the sort of thing a mother should do.

But she does love me. She's always telling me that. It makes me feel like an awful daughter that I don't want to go home to her, but at the same time, I'm starting to wonder if the trouble isn't with me.

[Rose laughs quietly and shakes her head.]

No, no. It's not necessary. I was just making a halfhearted attempt at professionalism. I suppose it's hardly necessary as I'm not a professional counsellor - and it is slightly amateurish to advise on a topic so emotionally proximate to my own particular issues.

Regardless, it's good to share.

Yes. And I want to get you away from her, I think a lot of people do.

[magichairbrush.livejournal.com]

Oh, Crona...

I'm so sorry. I'm terribly sorry.

[magichairbrush.livejournal.com]

Oh.

I didn't know that.

[magichairbrush.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, I... I see.

Sharing, right. Should I... Should I start, now?

[whoeverlooks.livejournal.com]

I end up reading a lot of books at home...my favorite ones have knights saving princesses from evil witches, so I like to think it'd be something like that.

Only if you feel comfortable! I hope I'm not making you uneasy calling you out here like this - we've barely talked, after all.

If it's more conducive to an open atmosphere, I don't mind telling you a little about my personal situation as well.

Oh it's all right Rapunzel! Don't feel sad for me! It was a long time ago and everything is great now!

I just...[ I just want you to know that if something feels off like that...it's best to trust your instincts.
If you've talked to your mother and she's blown you off or made you feel bad for questioning her or pointing out her bad behavior..that's not a good sign.
I-I don't want to sound like I know your situation exactly but I just want you to be careful.
You're a nice person and you don't deserve to be made to feel bad for wanting a life of your own.

Oh, it's alright! Really! I... I want to talk tonight, actually.

Only if you're okay with it. It... Might help.

[magichairbrush.livejournal.com]

Reading is a wonderful way to pass the time, isn't it?

[Inkblots...]

This is a lot to think about, though.

But I'm going to try, Xion. To stand up to her more.

[magichairbrush.livejournal.com]

If you're sure... It still sounds very sad.

Thank you, Crona. For all of that. It really means so very much to me. I'll be careful, I will.

[Applejack places a hand comfortingly on her shoulder.]

There is such a thing as being too safe, darlin'.

[blackbloodcrona.livejournal.com]

I'm sure!

You're welcome! If you ever need someone to talk to about these kinds of things you can talk to me!

[action] - I'm sorry this is so late, would you like to continue? I'll probably still be quite slow.

[grimdarklight.livejournal.com]

I'm perfectly alright with it, otherwise I probably wouldn't have said anything in response.

Would you like to go ahead?
