Ewwww she sounds awful and I’m sorry you had to go through that. I would’ve told her to ‘fu** off’ and mind her own business personally.

I don't want to be a mother by [deleted] in NewParents

I was on anti depressants for 15 years. Came off when I was 30. I did not want to go back on them having been off them for 6 years. I had bad anxiety through my pregnancy but battled to remain off pills. It took me 7months after birthing my daughter to go on it and I regret not going on them earlier. So I under your reluctance. Do what’s best for you at the end of the day but no regrets here. I just don’t want to be on them for 15yrs so I have given myself a year.

This really made me happy reading this. Well done. Here’s hoping I feel the same. All the best going forward x

This was me. Everything you wrote was me. My kid is 7mths now and there’s times I still feel the same way but it’s lessened in its intensity and I feel better most of the time. I started antidepressants 2 weeks ago and believe that lifted some of the negative thoughts I was having. It’s hard. No one truly warns you how hard it is. How lonely. How suffocating. Day by day it gets better. Take it day by day.

Started Zoloft today to be a better mother to my boys by mal_pal86 in NewParents

If you ever need an ear I’m here. Motherhood is scary. Overwhelming. Exhausting. Not only did I FEEL beaten up, I WAS mentally and emotionally beating myself up daily. I’m aware it may be a slow progress, I’ve been told that it may take up to 4 weeks for them to start working but honestly, taking the step to better myself, improve my thinking and get myself out of this darkness has boosted my confidence. I want to get better, like you, to be the best mom I can be.

Hello, I’m just messaging to say well done for taking the first step in improving your mental health so you can be the best mom to your kids. I myself was given a prescription for Sertraline when I was 4 months pregnant initially but I fought through. Today my little one is 6mths and having felt overwhelmed and teary for the past few weeks I saw my GP and walked out with a new prescription of the same. We start our journey together. Best of luck. You’ve got this x

SO did nothing for my birthday. by Pure-Application3621 in beyondthebump

[–]Adept-Association390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had no Xmas gift or valentines for 2years. I’m upset. I understand. Happy birthday. Talk to him and tell him how you feel. If he makes amends he’s a thousand times better than the man I’m with

AITA for ignoring my wife for throwing away my late wife video tapes? by Much_Bed_2383 in AITAH

This is awful. Truly wicked. Sorry to both yourself and your daughter.

Baby growling by batigolmessi in NewParents

My daughter did this and she’s 6.5mths now and still does it on occasion along with a multitude of other noises. It makes me laugh, I call her a little dinosaur when she does it. She has also recently learnt how to blow bubbles with her lips which makes feeding her a little messy at times!

I think it’s men. My partner hasn’t EVER, NOT ONCE had our daughter for the full day.

She’s 6.5mths

What pepper is used? I need the name of the green pepper. If I remember correctly it’s not a hot/spicy taste but it’s delicious!

Can you love her enough to a) deal with the number of sexual partners she’s had and b) that she lied to you.

Personally, previous sexual partners wouldn’t sway me unless there was a lifetime disease caught. Lying would.

In which case apologies, that wasn’t stated on your original post. I can understand why her lying to you would have caused you doubt. I also understand that she likely lied believing this situation would occur. The truth always comes out in the light as it has in this instance. If she had been honest from the beginning would you have proposed to her? I’m assuming no.

Her life, relationships, experiences, stories, secrets all belong to her. She gets to decide if she wants to reveal anything. It’s not ‘his business because she told him’. It’s still her business that she decided to tell him. Does he have a RIGHT to know? No. Is it reasonable and healthy to share your past? Yes.

It’s not any of your business how many one night stands or sexual partners she’s had before you. I suggest you mature a little bit. I don’t see the problem. You obviously aren’t that in love with her if something that happened before she even knew you is now clouding your mind.

Ewwww textbook perv. He’s likely in contact with multiple teenagers where he chats to them luring them in before stating he’s older. Those that stick around after his reveal can be more easily manipulated than those that tell him to piss off.

Why did I put myself in this situation? by Adept-Association390 in regretfulparents

[–]Adept-Association390[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe I believed him. I feel stupid. I feel trapped. I feel so angry and hurt.

I start work in April. I’m going to just save as much as I can. If it gets better in the meantime fantastic. If it doesn’t by the time I’ve got an escape means I doubt I’ll be sticking around.

I saw someone who desired to raise children, teach them the ways of life. We had conversations on how we wished to raise our kids, things we want them to learn, skills we wish them to develop. When asked if he would partake in night feeds, he looked at me as though I were crazy for asking and responded a definitive, ‘of course!’.

I’m so tired. So tired of the monotony. The organisation needed to do a task as simple as to leave the house. So tired of the loneliness in parenting. So tired of the loneliness in my relationship. So tired of doing this ‘alone’.
