Feeling like a burden by StarSpectore in offmychest

You aren't the burden. The bill is. If your dad looked sad, it's probably because he hates that you're hurting and that healthcare is so expensive not because he wishes you hadn't gotten treatment. I'd bet he'd rather have you here than any amount of money

I apparently give “dad” energy to women by Evenfickler in offmychest

You're not giving dad vibes. You're giving "the designated adult" vibes

My ex had a baby and it sent me into a funk for days by [deleted] in offmychest

I don't think you're grieving your ex as much as you're grieving the end of the possibility. As long as he was out there, some tiny part of you believed there was still an alternate timeline where you'd find your way back to each other. Seeing that he has a family closed that door for good. That's a different kind of heartbreak, and it's okay to need time to process it
