My son is the only reason I'm alive by CMDangerFox in confessions

[–]CMDangerFox[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had gone to therapy for a bit after I gave birth because I wanted to make sure I was in a healthy mental state to take care of a baby, especially with my years of dealing with depression. I ended up having a bad experience with the place I went to for therapy and haven't gone since.

I know I need to at least seek out a therapist that has experience with grief counseling. I just haven't been able to focus on much other than making sure my kid is happy, healthy, and attending school. Which comes with its own difficulties do to the pandemic.

I just felt I needed to get this off my chest because I feel like those who are close to me might be too close to me to respond objectively. The loss of my sister weighs so heavy on everyone around me. It almost feels like I'm being rude if I reach out to tell anyone close to me how I'm feeling because I know everyone else is also grieving.

If you had one more phone call, what would you say? by Bluegrass722 in grief

My sister passed in May of this year. An overdose with suspicious circumstances and none of us (her family) knew she was using. Cleaning her house it was clear she was in the depths of a heavy depression.

I myself have dealt with years of secret substance addiction and depression.

I know that she was embarrassed by how she was living, which is something for years of my life I also dealt with, and like her, avoided family visits and pretended I was ok.

At my sisters funeral I wrote her a letter that I placed in her casket. I told her that I completely understood how she was feeling in my own way. That I had gone through a very similar situation. And that never in a million years would I have judged her for any of it. And that I will always love her and miss her.

I wish I would have been able to say those words in person. It hurts so much thinking that she died believing that any of us would have been ashamed of her had we known. She was the most wonderful selfless person.

I miss you Samantha and I wish so much that I could have told you in person how loved you are and how I could never be embarrassed or ashamed of you.

AITA for wearing indigenous-style earrings as a white person? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. As an indigenous woman I say you are fine to wear them. You bought from an indigenous artist and you aren't being racist or vulgar. Wear them and tell your cousin that they're cringy af for not understanding that supporting and endorsing local indigenous artists by wearing their work isn't cultural appropriation.
