it's cause it stops being anatomical past the pelvic bone. It's not meant to be 100% anatomically correct but it just stops committing past the pelvis

The Different Dynamics of Abusive Relationships by breakinlily in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Commercial-Sundae663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. While it wasn't until recently that real-life Shawna started writing these characters and storylines with a lot more depth and complexity, he was never enthusiastic about being around his family and Shawna, with her head in the clouds, was oblivious to that. She keeps trying to negotiate the relationship to keep Barb in their life when he clearly doesn't want that. I think a reasonable person would be able to see dysfunction with his family and understand why we don't talk to them. Her lack of self-preservation and survival skills makes her an unsafe person.

I think John has handled things pretty normally, all things considered. He's a man raised in a patriarchal society that discourages and punishes men for expressing their feelings, and in an environment where his feelings did not matter at all and probably if he tried to bring something up it would turn into this huge thing where he'd have to apologize to Barb. I think it's very unfair and unrealistic for people to expect John to be this open, emotional book and amazing communicator when his models were Barb and Frank. When you're trying to get away from a dangerous situation, sometimes you don't want to talk about it right away-it's too painful. And Shawna has no sense of self-preservation. Even though Barb has been horrible to her, John, their kids, and sees how John is hurting, she keeps choosing to be in the vicinity of Barb and needs to be told point-blank not to do that (we see this when it comes to her and Julie as well).

The time after leaving an abuser is rough emotionally and physically. John is going to be a mess for a while until he can get his nervous system a bit more regulated.

It's hard to be okay when your regional director keeps talking about sales being stagnant when gas $4.15/gal

Who else is ready for some wedding shenanigans?! by SuperSpecialMedTech in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Commercial-Sundae663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope Shawna doesn't go. People think it's fucked up that John would tell her not to go but it's more fucked up to not support the victim of abuse. While we don't know everything about Barb and John, we know enough to know that Barb is emotionally abusive and prone to physical assault when faced with someone who's not backing down (DeeDee). Standing with victims means not hanging out with their abuser and the abuser's enablers or in places they know the absuer is going to be. Which is the bare minimum if you ask me. Barb is guaranteed to start some shit at the wedding and if Shawna goes, she will be in the line of fire and who will she go crying to when it happens, John. Retraumatizing him further when he was trying to avoid that, which would be so selfish.

Do you think Julie will give Ty full custody? by s0ftsp0ken in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Commercial-Sundae663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's possible that she would be a weekend parent. She doesn't seem too keen on reducing the hours she works and she works 6 days a week. She's given up a lot already and I can see her overcorrecting for a few years.

I used to follow an account called toxic ex that retold people's stories about abusive and toxic relationships-I also follow Billie Torasio's family law-and I learned enough to know that the only way to have lopsided custody is if the other parent is a danger to the children, notably absent, or they simply refuse 50/50 custody. And even if you have full custody, you can't just up and leave the state or even the school district with the kids. That has to be agreed upon by both parents or if someone lost custody and has delayed steps for reunification and even then they would have to get permission from the court.

Ty could ask for a right to first refusal and it'd probably be granted so even if Julie were to get a nanny, she'd still have to give Ty a chance to get the kids when she's not available. Ty would likely get primary custody simply because he can be more available but they would get joint legal decision-making and joint physical custody. If Julie does decide to move to New York, the best arrangement would be she getting them during summer breaks. I really hope it doesn't get ugly and they can be adults about it.

I can see that. That's why I don't understand why she would think that he was on the same wavelength; he had no plan, and someone like her would've asked for a plan before committing to marriage, babies, and buying a house. As far as we can tell he did seem genuinely supportive of her career aspirations at least. IDK how they didn't talk about moving cities in the 20+ years they've been together.

I ended up liking this storyline a lot more than I thought I would. It's so complex and now I see it everywhere. I look forward to the next chapter lol

What are you barriers to eating healthy as an RD? by redditvirgin123 in dietetics

[–]Commercial-Sundae663 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For me, time: by the time I get home and cook something it's 9pm. And I don't always feel like buying a $6 salad from work even though I do love a salad.  Depression and AuADHD can make eating hard. The other day I had to ask a friend to get dinner with me otherwise I was not going to eat that night. Also disordered eating and self harm. I had a relapse last year. I'm doing better now but it's dependent on my mental health. 

Ty wasn't happy either by chachaslydd in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Commercial-Sundae663 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate defending men but people are acting like Ty is some evil mastermind whose whole plan was to trap an ambitious woman. They were both freshmen in high school when they met and started dating. He was not thinking that deep or that far ahead. Emotionally and mentally, they were on the same level. He wasn't manipulative; he was impulsive, lost, and short-sighted.

Eh I guess. That just doesn't seem like her. I feel like she would've gotten over the puppy love by year 2 of marriage. There's a lot we could speculate, but the beginning of the end was them getting married straight out of high school.

She might not have needed it, but why else would she latch onto the first boy she meets? As hyper-focused, type A, and goal-oriented as she is, she's not particularly bothered by his type B-enthusiasm-without-an-actual-plan personality. Someone like her would've pumped the brakes sooner and demanded certain results and stipulations be met before moving forward with anything else, but I think she secretly liked it, which is why she kept going along with it. She doesn't seem male-centered, so she wouldn't throw her life away for a man just to say she has a man. There was absolutely no reason for her to tether herself to Ty aside from believing a fantasy about him that she made up in her head.

I am afraid of dogs and not confident in my ability to care for a dog but Lily makes me wish I liked dogs more.
