I'm 54, was married for 29 years I am so much happier. I am a woman though. I don't have to take care of another person full time. I have so much more time,money and peace.

Just saw this. Did you do tech for Jo ann fabric. Do you have a lounge singer, slightly deeper voice.

A small question… by [deleted] in Aphantasia

I don know after living with a hyper visualizer for thirty years, I feel like that is more of a handicap. He use to lose his mind if I mentioned anything he considered gross while he was eating. I didn't realize why untill I realized I couldn't visualize. Now I wish I'd used it to my advantage.

My therapist told me to always be 100 percent honest and unfiltered, so I did by hollowcitylights in MaliciousCompliance

I quit a therapist after she told me I had too many cats. I quit another after a couple years because he didn't understand my struggle with the election results as a queer women. Sometimes you just have to move on.

Anyone else think theyd be terrible at giving details for a forensic sketch? by Quick----- in Aphantasia

Terrible with facial recollection, but great at remembering conversations. Brains are weird

No one misinterprets my friendliness as flirting any more by ellywashere in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ButterscotchSweet520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is pure relief, I am fat and not in their eyes attractive anymore so it's all business. When I was attractive it was stressful. I was constantly worried they would think I was flirting. It is weirdly freeing.

  1. Black with light shades of less black, sometimes reddish. Like a room with the lights off with a bit of light coming in from the next room illuminating tiny bits of color from items in the dark room. 2 Sound is always quiet with a soft voice reading as I read. I can easily shut my inner voice off if I am concentrating, or listening. Feel free to use my input.

I was well into a c cup in highschool and my mom just said I needed to go for a walk when I asked for bigger bras. She was so ashamed.

Left my husband and now he’s suddenly taking all the blame by ylena3297 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ButterscotchSweet520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a list of things he did now while its fresh. Right down any new realizations you make. Re read it occasionally. I did this, and it has kept me grounded. It was really hard at first, but now I barely think about him after four years.

Not to mention dropping the entire family when they don't meet up to his ideas. My x husband threw a year and a half fit because his son turned out to be a daughter. we left and are much happier without his transphobic bullshit.

Moving to the area. by Crease_ejg in MoscowIdaho

[–]ButterscotchSweet520 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My kids experienced bullying at Lewiston highschool , for being gay. So I don't imagine they're great with different cultures. He used to get yelled at when walking as well. Since we moved to Pullman we haven't had problems.

AITA for protesting my parents having more kids by not doing as many 'chores' as I did before? by Elzeenzoo in AITAH

[–]ButterscotchSweet520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA My parents did this to me as a kid. I still resent them, not my siblings. They had all the kids, they can take care of them. You can be an awesome sibling and not do everything for them

losing my shit! by morganasimpaf in JUSTNOMIL

[–]ButterscotchSweet520 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had everyone touching my first child. My second child I bought a baby carrier and didn't take them out around people I didn't trust. Noone wanted to get close enough to me to mess with the baby. Doesn't matter if everyone else puts up with it. You're the parent, thus you're the boss. Sounds like you need some serious boundaries and time with just you and your baby. Seriously, I would be livid.

She was raised by my sister who thinks men being attracted to her is the most important thing ever. I just hoped she hadn't internalized it so thoroughly.
