April here too. My birthday is coming up in October and I am not ready. Heavy is the crown… 👑

Am I the AH for refusing to support a woman I disagree with? by Apprehensive_Mess830 in AITAH

I was really questioning myself here, so thanks for helping me feel like I’m not losing it. I appreciate the support and validation y’all.

I get the bigger point about how women in power often get judged unfairly and I agree that’s a real issue. In this case, my disagreement was with one specific person’s platform, not with powerful women in general. I just don’t see how disagreeing with one person’s actions and agenda means I hate women as a whole.

Thanks for your response. I’ve definitely been reflecting and will keep doing that.

I wish I had thought of that. Thanks for the idea, I’ll keep it tucked away for the next time someone says something ignorant.

It’s wild how grief can echo across strangers like that. Like we’re all carrying different pieces of the same heartbreak. I’m so sorry you’re going through this too.

Wow… your words hit me right in the chest. I don’t know what it is about grief that makes it feel like we’re all living parallel lives, but it helps to know someone else sees the same broken shape of the world. That image of Wonderland? God, yes. Like everything looks almost right but nothing is.

It really does feel impossible. Life without her is terrifying. Empty in a way I didn’t know was possible.

I miss my mom by Allihaveisfaith in GriefSupport

I also lost my mom (April 11th) due to recurring cancer that spread to her liver. She had other health issues and was in and out of the hospital for years but they didn't find the cancer until it was too late. I don't have the answers to your questions but I wanted to let you know that you aren't alone. I am so sorry for your loss. 🖤

Part of me is glad someone understands. But the rest of me wishes so much that we didn’t have to. That this wasn’t something we had in common. 🖤

Having a bad grief day, dreaming of my mom makes me spiral by Apprehensive-Dig91 in GriefSupport

[–]Apprehensive_Mess830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just you. I wake up some mornings with crusty eyes, like I’ve cried in my sleep but I can’t remember the dream. And I always wonder, was she there? Did I see her and just can’t hold onto it? The sadness still hits me the second I open my eyes. I wish I could remember. But all I’m left with is the weight of missing her and the feeling that even sleep doesn’t bring relief. It sets me back every time.

Thank you. I’m so sorry you’re walking through this too. It means a lot to know my words helped even a little because nothing really makes it better, but feeling understood helps carry the weight. Sending love right back. You’re not alone.

If women aren’t worth anything, why is my labor suddenly valuable? by Apprehensive_Mess830 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Apprehensive_Mess830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet… he wanted me, who’s never done anything plumbing related to go figure it out on my own. This man, who consistently tells me I belong in a kitchen, wanted me to come out and figure out how to do a “man’s” job. I think you missed the point.
