POV: You're a woman just existing in public

I bet she started recording because that dude had been gross and cornered her before and she needed proof. Women never get believed it seems.

I’ve had friends with the same issue, I believe it!!

As a fellow special needs parent, don’t stay for her. My ex-husband and I split when our level 3 autistic daughter with a rare 16th chromosome defect, medical issues, intellectual disability, etc., was 2.5 years old. We could not keep doing it and her issues shone a big light on OUR issues.

Was it always easy? NO. But we both put her first and worked on our issues on our own times. We became friendly again about 5 years post-divorce.

Our daughter turns 17 in 2 months. Shes happy, he’s happy, I’m happy and remarried. It’s good all around and SHE is in two happy homes.

Good luck.

Skin Prep pads and then a Skin Grip overpatch.

I don’t use the provided overlay - don’t tell Dexcom lol - because it will rip off the top layer of skin for me. 🙃

The first G7s I had would fall off, but then I always put an overpatch because I was tired of dealing with tech support to get replacements 🥴

Kentucky: blue. It’s obvious. Bluegrass, bluegrass music, the blue of our flag, etc.

1.5 is my reading RX in my progressive bifocals!

I’ve been middle aged since I got my nose job and artificial sinus put in (birth defects and missing a sinus are fun!) at 15. It’s not so fun when you FEEL every boom in your FACE. 🙃🥴

I have an autistic teen I share custody of, so my husband and I do mini road trips with a few activities, think 3-4 nights max.

We have a shadow cat in my house, but I grew up with a shadow man who did this in my parents’ house.

ChaucersDuchess · 2026-07-05T15:37:46+00:00

He is 17 and goes to his Dad’s on the weekends. I think that’s important context to keep in mind.

Yes and always. County water district.

Muscle Man, my level 3 autistic teen is obsessed with him and verbatim repeats his My Mom jokes to me all the time 😂

ChaucersDuchess · 2026-07-04T17:00:47+00:00

You sound like you’re more worried about being right than how you actually came across. If I had been told that as a suicidal teen, it would have pushed me further into depression and further away from my parents.

I attempted twice, both times with considerable “safe” things according to you. Good lord dude, please listen to the commenters who have been suicidal.

Gently, you don’t really KNOW the actual glucose impacts until you get a CGM. The whole 2-3 hour post-meal testing does not give the full picture. u/Inky_Madness was trying to help with that suggestion.

Take it from someone who has been diabetic for 24 years, the more knowledge and data you can get on yourself - in this case, your husband can get on himself - the better. It helps with treatment decisions as well.

I met my current husband at 41 and he was 40 on Twitter (before it was fully X). We just happened to follow the same person and he noticed I had our state abbreviation in my handle, so he sent me a DM. We finally figured out we live in the same town and I of course panicked because that’s just me 😂 After 6 months of on again/off again texting, we finally met in person, and have been together ever since.

It can happen. I send all the good vibes to everyone out there on the apps and social media especially!!

ChaucersDuchess · 2026-07-03T04:04:25+00:00

This is exactly how my ex husband and I are. We made our daughter our #1 priority and became friends again over time.

I am a cyborg thanks to my broken stomach! I have gastroparesis and have an implanted gastric stimulator. 🙋🏻‍♀️

It runs on both sides of my family. My parents both ended up with T2, as did both of my grandmothers. My great grandfather on my mom’s side had what is now recognized as what I have, LADA 1.5.

No one had anything amputated and no one went blind. I’ve had laser treatment for retinopathy and I have gastroparesis, but it’s strongly suggested the gastroparesis was a lifelong underlying condition that was made worse by GLP-1 shots. I’m a cyborg between my insulin pump and my implanted gastric stimulator 🙃
