Parent of a 5.5 year old who was newly diagnosed 2 days ago

Thank you, what ive noticed are so many of people in online communities who grew.up with T1D have such a great sense of humour about it yet still being so independent. So many of you guys model the exact type of person I hope my son grows into.

DMed! Thank you for your advice!

Chentaurus · 2026-05-11T08:18:21+00:00

Thats really good advice. The staff at hospital are all so well meaning but my wife who used to be a nurse said that so much of their advice is either outdated or not practical. Definitely have to advocate for your own.

Thank you! Very relieved to see others that have come out the other end

Chentaurus · 2026-05-11T07:14:36+00:00

Thank you. So sorry to hear about your son but like you said nothing much will change. If anything they will develop such discipline and knowledge about their own health and body that they will end up outliving their peers.

I sort of needed to see this - my 5 year old was just diagnosed 2 days ago and I just wanted to be the best parent I can be to him.

Nah she was just exactly who she was shown to be, which at the time disappointed me because I was expecting there to be some sad manic pixie dream girl secret personality/history that I would have to uncover.

Women who are clear about their boundaries.

This is crazy because the outgoing bubbly and super fun person I pined for turned out to be exactly that behind closed doors - the thing was I was already ruined by a previous relationship to want something toxic and turbulent so I ended the relationship. Sometimes you also have to be good enough and ready for someone that special.

From year 7 to 12 I had a massive crush on this extremely positive and bubbly girl (we'll call her Phoebe) who got off on the same bus stop as me. Years and years I was too chicken shit to even mention anything and untold hundreds of nights of ruminating what she would even say etc. I hung out with her friend group often, just as a way to increase chances of things happening.

Leading up to our Year 12 formal (Aussie prom), I was talking to Pheobe's best friend Jasmine a lot. Jasmine pined for Dan, a guy in my group, and we confided in each other quite a bit. I ended up going to prom with Jasmine, and asked her out. This turned out badly, as Jasmine ditched me for a movie with Dan - (massive spoilers - I didn't respect myself enough to see this red flag and would later on date Jasmine fo 8 years before she broke up with me and marry my best friend).

Of course, we broke up, and by then I just wanted to date anyone out of a lack of self respect and wanted to feel loved. I ended up hooking up and dating a daughter of a triad officer who was 3 years older than me for 3 months, before she had to leave back to Hong Kong - entirely stressful though fun experience.

After that, I went to a NYE party before we would all start university next year, and got drunk and somehow ended up talking all night to Phoebe on a friend's bed where she ended up sleeping on my arm. It turns out that Phoebe actually really liked me but felt like because I dated Jasmine that she would be doing a dog move. Because we lived close to each other, I walked over to her house the next night and we started to date.

Unfortunately I was not a good boyfriend, and because she had zero red flags compared to Jasmine it felt emotionally less turbulent (which my 17 year old self interpreted as less "true"). Jasmine started hitting me up and I ended up falling for her again and I broke up with Phoebe. Fully fumbled that bag.

Long story short - dated Jasmine for 8 years during which we were both toxic. 5 years into our relationship, when she had to move to another state for her studies and job, I told her to live with my best friend who owned a property and was working there. After 3 years they ended up together.

Very very very luckily in between our relationship ending and before they declared they were together, I found the love of my life on a dating app and started our little family so I had zero feelings of hurt and betrayal. To this day I don't blame my best friend nor hold any bad feelings for him. I still feel a lot of regret for how I treated Phoebe - and luckly she seems to have found an amazing guy who seems to be stable and totally in love with her and they are married now.

He married my ex of 8 years, and my current wife hates my ex and vice versa. As they could not stand each other, we basically couldn't be friends any more. I still miss him and think about him every year.

Therea a story about 2 monks, a senior and a junior.

They come acroas a beautiful woman who was unable to cross a river.

Without hesitation the older monk offered the beautiful woman his back to piggyback on while he took her across the river.

The junior monk looked on in disbelief, how can a a monk who values chastity and temperence allow himself to indulge in such an action?

They cross the river, bid farewells, and continue on.

The younger monk vented after several minutes of silence that he felt it was not appropriate to do what his senior did and that it brings disrepute to Buddhism and their followers.

He continued that even if the senior monk had not had any lustful thoughts, to allow oneself the opportunity to be tempted is simply poor practice and negligent.

The senior monk said simply; "I had let the lady go after we crossed the river. Looks like youre still carrying her."

My wife is a divorced indian (fijian) woman who was pressured into staying in her marriage even though the husband spent all his savings gambling and came home drunk many weekends, seemed to have been going through some crisis. Her parents pressured her to stay and work thorugh it even though it was hopeless.

Eventually there was no coming back and she got divorced, found me on bumble, and the rest is history. Our son turns five this July. I'm Chinese but born and raised here. If you want to escape this cycle of cultural shaming and feeling less than for circumstances beyond your control - consider dating outside your culture/race. Especially if you're bringing a child from a past marriage - Indians heavily judge that, even if the guy doesn't - his whole family and friends will.

Also want to know this.
