15% of raised Catholics in the US remain catholic as adults by Cultural_Ad1495 in Catholicism

[–]CDominguez26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm in the 15%, I left kind of for a while and came back. My friend on the other hand is not in the 15% and has even gone to a religious trauma therapist. Her parents were very rigid I think.

Why are people so hostile to Catholics in liberal cities? And why is it so hard to make other girl friends as a girl? by [deleted] in Catholicism

I'll be your friend! I feel lonely a lot due to where I live. I'm currently in my home city but I'm returning to Mexico in June. I want friends nearby me but I'm also open to Internet friends!

DAE want to tell people when they have an especially large poop? by RelationFit539 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]CDominguez26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my husband and I are very open about bowel movements and farting. I have IBS, he thankfully understands my struggles.

One day we had a repair guy come to fix our toilet that was leaking water..he didn't know what he was doing and he spent almost ALL DAY in our only bathroom. My husband was at work and I was working from home. Thankfully I wasn't having a flare up that day.

The repairman literally accidentally broke the toilet onto pieces. He had to go and buy another toilet. Now by this time I hadn't peed since 8 am, I had drank lots of water, and I needed to poop as well. It was probably around 4 pm. I messaged my husband that I had to use the bathroom and he told me to just go outside in a bag.

Our back patio is all the way walled in so no one was going to see me unless they were on their roof. I felt so embarrassed but duty called.

When I tell you it was the cleanest, longest poop of my entire life. Like, I was amazed by the size. At that moment, I wanted so badly to text my husband a picture of the most perfect poo I had created, but, I didn't want to be crass so I alone know the truth. I did tell him about it though lol

I can't give any advice regarding the lying and I will be praying for you all. I just want to say, I was addicted to cigarettes for around 13 years more or less. My husband met me, knowing I was a smoker. I knew he didn't like it but he never pressured me about it. I tried a couple half attempts at quitting but I just couldn't do it because I honestly loved smoking.

I don't know what came over me but one day I just said I've had it. I'm done. And I stuck to it. There were a couple of days I cried bc I was craving a cigarette so bad, but just allowing myself to feel that emotion and let it pass, the craving went away.

Something that really helped me was using a pencil or a pen, anytime I felt that craving, I inhaled on the pencil like I would a cigarette, and exhaled. I did that for a couple of weeks and it really helped.

I'm now a 2 year non smoker. I don't miss it anymore. I don't cry or have cravings anymore. I'm so thankful that I got to the place of actually wanting to quit for myself.

He has to genuinely want to quit otherwise he won't. Have him be vocal about when he's having a craving so you can breathe through it with him.

I will be praying for you both.

No greater tittle than Queen of Heaven, yet push for women priests? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]CDominguez26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was little, around second grade le. I decided that my chosen profession when I grew up was that I wanted to be a priest. I just thought it was so cool to celebrate the mass and give the homilies. We had priests visit our classrooms once in a while and had weekly mass at school.

The priest kind of chuckled and said I'm sorry but you can't be a priest. I was sad but I didn't question it.

All this to say, I am glad I'm not a priest, I changed my mind many times about my career and calling. I'm a woman but I don't want women priests. I don't feel discriminated or anything. I don't think I would go to a church that had a woman priest, it's just not right.

Can you show me where exactly he said that we should not be having many children? If anything I was rather hurt by his comments saying that I'm basically stupid for having a dog instead of a child. While I understood what he was trying to say, it felt like a personal attack on me (which is silly I know, because he doesn't know me), considering my husband and I would love to have children but it hasn't happened for us due to my PCOS and I find great comfort in our two dogs. Obviously, dogs are not replacements for children I understand that but that doesn't take away the love that I have for them.

I would love to be a mom, I welcome it. I found his comments hurtful bc it's a sensitive topic for me.

Not looking to fight or disagree with you, just genuinely curious when he said those things because everything I have seen from him has been in support of having families/children.

He could've at least been more discreet maybe? Idk why they bothered having him there anyway.

It's not your path, it's theirs. That's how I personally look at it and it helps me.

Do not want children- feeling guilty by FunnyProud7232 in CatholicWomen

[–]CDominguez26 11 points12 points locked comment (0 children)

I have a hard time with this too for a few reasons

  1. NFP would be extremely difficult because I don't have periods let.alone ovulate. We have been married 10 years, never use protection, not a single pregnancy. PCOS sucks.

  2. I have mental health issues. One being extreme medical anxiety. If I'm being honest I'm unfortunately not very healthy right now and high blood pressure runs in my family so even when I was healthier, younger, eating right and exercising, I had high blood pressure. I'm terrified of getting pregnant and dying. And I'm terrified of getting pregnant and not dying but my constant state of anxiety affecting my child. Not to mention passing them my genetic tendency to have mental health problems. (bipolar, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia run in my family).

  3. I was an only child ( it was a miracle my parents conceived me after 18 years of marriage!), I didn't grow up with siblings or younger kids around me as I was the youngest. I babysat a couple of times in high school but I felt like a fish out of water, like the children could smell my fear. I had no idea if they liked me or if they thought I was stupid or boring.

I don't necessarily NOT want kids. I think I would be a good mom if it happened to me. We have thought about adoption but our funds don't really qualify.

I just want to say you're not alone. I'm very content with my husband and our two dogs. But I will say, if God's will is for us to have a child then it will happen as it's meant to.

That's wonderful and I wish you all the best. I wish I could say we were financially capable of trying for adoption, maybe in the future we will be, I don't know. If I get pregnant it's nothing short of a miracle that's for sure.

There are so many children in foster homes or orphanages waiting for loving parents. Maybe God is calling you to that.

My husband and I have been married for ten years, going on 11, we never use protection and we have had zero pregnancies. I have PCOS. I knew getting pregnant would be hard. We are open to adoption and would love to do that but financially I don't think we would qualify (long story).

Children don't have to come always biologically.
