I am so very sorry this is happening.
As usual the peas have offered sage advice.
I'll keep you in my thoughts while you navigate your new life path forward and hope that you will learn on us to help you see how rewarding that new path will be.

The reno is well done, but I agree the staging is weird. It's not really eclectic, but more mish mashy.

I clearly remember being 14 and experiencing the breathlessness of seeing an aurora dance across the sky for the first time. I felt like I was witnessing magic.
Thank you for sharing the magic.

We had trouble using our debit cards in a lot of stores, but didn't have trouble getting cash out of an atm. However, we came across so so many places that only took credit cards and no cash.
You will need a converter to charge your phones, and across Europe the plugs are not the same. If I had to guess, France and Switzerland will be the same, but likely Italy will have a different one.
We haven't taken a blow dryer over in years, as the places we've stayed always have one. You may need to ask for one at reception in some cases.
Spring weather can be tricky to predict. Look up the average spring temps for where you are going, and plan that way. Then just before you go check a weather app that will forecast for 10+ days so you can add or subtract as needed.
Do you have everyday shoes now that are your go to? Bring those. I would also recommend a pair of boots that are okay in rain.
Layers will be your friend! I like a light body shaping camisole because it keeps my core warm but isn't too hot. I prefer cardigan sweaters to pullovers because they are easier to take on and off and can be unbuttoned to cool off. I also like light weight scarves to keep cold air off of my neck.
As you are planning things you want to do, it's a good idea to check their website to see if you need reservations. We haven't had issues in the past with needing reservations, but when we were in England back in Nov there were several things we couldn't do because we hadn't reserved in advance. ETA I said converter, when I meant plug adapter. Italy has a different plug configuration than other countries in Europe, so you will need one that includes it.

I feel like an awful lot of the women forgot to make an appointment to have their hair done. And many need to fire their stylist.

My Ds is 22. Those classes were not offered in our middle school of high school. I truly wish they had been and think they should be a requirement for all students. We did teach Ds those skills.

I'm sorry you are dealing with crap like that on a daily basis. And thank you for being there.
I'd never make it in a customer service job, because the snark is strong in me. I am over the customer is always right crap. That should only apply when you are a decent customer and not an asshat.
Mean people suck and we are being over run with them.

Where are these kids parents?! I would never have let my kid bail out on a friend in this manner. Not cool. They're 17 - I don't think I had the first clue the particulars of my kids' social engagements at that age. I can obviously hope I'd taught them earlier about obligations and not bailing on friends. Yes, I did teach my kid earlier than 17 about obligations and the whole walking in other's shoes stuff. I'm pleased he listened and thrilled he understands.

I totally understand how what your mom did is annoying. I'm sorry as I know there are loads of things that a narcissist does purely for the sake of wanting everyone to think they are the best.
I would let it go, and not share gift ideas with her again.

I got stick on patches for a jacket Dh wears when mountain biking. Super simple to use, no iron. It has held up perfectly.

I'm interested too! Fair, light eyes, chemo brown hair that was blonde. mom has helped me with what colours to go to as she is similarly coloured to me, but makeup applying tips would be great!
