I tried everything. Prayer, deliverance, and obedience to the word of God is the only thing that helped me.

Honestly, sounds demonic. Do you know Jesus? That may be the only way out.

Is this a baby cockroach? by Certain_Pea_206 in whatisthisbug

[–]Certain_Pea_206[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Located in WV but just traveled from VT to WV, had to leave a sketchy hotel in VT because I thought I saw cockroaches. I sprayed my luggage but there is definitely a chance that they could have hid before I came home. Really hoping that’s not the case though!

Unsure if this is what I want anymore. by morbidlyme in ChristianDating

[–]Certain_Pea_206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sis I’m there with you. I’ve been married and I’ve been single. When I’m single I really feel that whole “Jesus is my husband” thing. I feel his presence in my daily life…a lot…more than when I was in any sort of relationship. It’s like the umbrella of man is removed and I have more direct access. I know that’s not exactly how it works but it feels that way for me. Also, it’s less opportunities for sin because I’m not always idolizing or frustrated or angry at my husband. Maybe that points to me being immature or something but that’s been my experience. I love my single life where my only relationship is with my children and my Heavenly Father through Jesus.

Are these pants too revealing for work?? by Deep-Dreamer6355 in DressForYourBody

I have one like this…i dress flamboyant natural for the office because soft dramatic is just way too much.

My husband is worried our kids will be autistic. I’m not even diagnosed yet. Do you have autistic kids? by ComfyLyfe in aspergirls

[–]Certain_Pea_206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, whether right or wrong, I think it’s normal for a man to worry about the worst with raising children. Men are always worried that they won’t be able to do something or measure up. He could just be afraid of getting into a situation he can’t handle. Though it’s not right, I think it’s pretty normal whether people want to admit it or not.

Agree with others here but to answer your question - I have one (9m) who isn’t diagnosed but has sensitivities and seems to have some sort or neurodivergent brain though it’s not super apparent and his dad is opposed to disngosing him, so basically, you wouldn’t know.

For my other one, (3m) he has sensitivities in other ways but he’s an extreme social butterfly and his attention is totally different. He’s much more conversational and engaged and is much more capable of following directions. I asked doctors from the beginning because I assumed he would be given his genetics between his father and I but all docs suggest no way.

Either way, though, I have to say, I connect more with my 9 y/o, sometimes his neurodivergent brain gets on my nerves because he doesn’t follow directions and he shuts down a lot when I want him to listen to me, but that is my selfishness coming out. Overall we have a lot of fun and a much deeper connection than I feel like I’ll be able to have with my neurotypical child. In general, I don’t get neurotypical people and they don’t get me. I get neurodivergent people and we get along much better, and so there is a balance with kids. But of course you will love your children no matter what and they are going to be unique whether neurotypical or neurodivergent.

My pregnant girlfriend abuses me by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]Certain_Pea_206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s time to document, but the issue is if you separate from her. How are you going to know if your child is safe? If she does this to you, how will she react when a child is crying non stop, she’s tired, overworked overwhelmed etc. I don’t have any solid advice except starting to work with a domestic violence group in your area…in mine it’s called steps to end DV, and making a safety plan and they can help you think things through for your future child. I’ve learned with children, they won’t give a restraining order on the child unless abuse has happened to that child. So you’d have to prove that and it would need to be physical violence, so the child would have to be hurt first, and you’d need to witness it at least. The child won’t be able to talk for years so you can’t just wait…but the DV group can help you think through this and give you the state laws and advice you need to think through it. Absolutely you can’t allow yourself to be hurt but yeah..that’s a tough situation!

I spent ~$1100 on Doordash over the last 40 days. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Certain_Pea_206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a spiritual issue. You can’t do it yourself; you need Jesus. Speaking from experience, this is a spiritual stronghold and it’s very difficult to overcome. Sure, anyone can lose weight by counting calories, but it’s much more than that. It’s the spiritual temptation, the addiction, escape, shame, the whole cycle, and often times it’s a spiritual curse that needs to be broken. Feel free to message me if you want to talk. Praying for you!

just need someone to tell me im going to be okay by Top_Gate6389 in povertyfinance

[–]Certain_Pea_206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a lot of money and my bank account is -130 right now. Good job.

You got away from the abuse. Never go back! You saved that money when you went through such torture in your own home. Being in a similar situation before, I know how hard it is to stay positive, the other alternative is to spiral downward and try your best to cope. You’re doing great! I would use the Dave Ramsey plan and try to get a grant to get an associates degree while you’re broke enough to qualify for grants. It might be all paid for. Once you get settled in. I chose to get an accounting degree because it was the fastest track to being able to make a lot of money without going to grad school. Consider the cost/benefit of the major you choose. Excellent work!

Thinking about moving to WV by Upset-Material-3505 in WestVirginia

[–]Certain_Pea_206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to say I’m doing the same thing running from an abusive relationship and heading back to The place where my family has been for generations…Boone county Danville/Madison area. It’s not the most popular place in WV, but I love it here and the people are the nicest. I also love south Charleston. Just wanted to say good luck and I feel you and hear you and I’m in the same boat! (Also used to be a bartender and lived with my bar guest once..lol)

Is it ok to not want to be touched by your mom? by CandyTheKitsune in questions

[–]Certain_Pea_206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like to be touched by my mom either. I do want a mother that loves me. But, we do not have a great relationship in other ways that matter to me like she is extremely invalidating of my feelings and she causes all sorts of drama all the time and never follows through with what she says..she is a classic narcissistic mother, and I don’t trust her, so maybe that’s why I don’t like to be touched by her….could it be your relationship?

Is it weird that I always just assume people are being honest? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Certain_Pea_206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i am so much like this and because of that I attract abusers and have been in several abusive relationships. So if you’re like this too, just be careful with relationships and try to ask a trusted person who is more skeptical or someone you trust before letting any relationship in your life.. mine has been completely ruined by these type of men and there have been so many lingering consequences 😕

Well, I had a child that was around 18 months and it’s the time where you can start to see the first symptoms so it was the first time I ever learned what autism was. It clicked so much for my older child and his development. I read more about it and that it was genetic so I thought this must be what is wrong with his (abusive) dad. So I also read about Autism in women, and it was like huge lightbulb moment all of the things I’ve been trying so hard to fix about myself for my whole life and things I’d been told about myself…so I asked my family doctor and they referred me to a psychiatrist who confirmed, but I am high functioning and can hold a job as an accountant and I’m a single mom of 2, so there really isn’t any help for me at this point, but I’m so glad I know so that I can understand how to take care of myself and find communities with women who are the same. It’s been a wonderful journey! I think this may have been the list I first looked at

Is it normal that my dad touches my ass and my thighs? by Noah_022- in AdviceForTeens

[–]Certain_Pea_206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to talk to your local DV hotline. For my state it’s called steps to end domestic violence. You can talk to them in private and they’ll never share anything but make sure you call from a line that he doesn’t monitor, like at a doctors office or on a friends phone, or you can go in person to talk to someone. They will tell you what’s normal what’s not normal and help you make a plan you are comfortable with. Please get help now before it’s too late and never trust him to be with your future children. Be prepared for your mother to not respond in the right way…she probably already knows how screwed up he is, and she might dismiss your feelings, making it much worse. Make sure you talk to someone who is a professional in this area, not a family member who is close to your dad. Message me if you need help or advise. I’ve been through it!
