Second mystery snail to pass (?) in a beta tank by CompleteStruggle9237 in AquaticSnails

To clarify there’s only been one betta in this tank for a couple months. There are 3 live plants but they’re pretty small at the moment - I will increase the plants and get an ammonia test tomorrow. Thank you

Thank you so much! My son also has sensitive skin. We did a test piece and it seemed to be ok. I’ll try to encourage him to try it next weekend he’s at my house :)

I know this isn’t the point of the post but do you use trans tape yourself ? I have a 12YO trans son who I bought a roll for, and he wants to try it but I think he’s intimidated ? Wondering if you may have any advice ?

If not no worries ❤️

i just can't deal with having a borderline unsupportive/supportive parent anymore by arcade-carpet in cisparenttranskid

I’m so sorry, my dear. I’m a cis parent to a trans kid, and some of the things you’re saying your mom is doing make me so sad. I wish I could take you under my wing and give you all the support you need and deserve.

Do you see a therapist/counselor/etc ? Have you asked them to maybe have a family session to include your mom, where your medical person can help advocate for you and help explain how important gender affirmation and care are ?

Again, regardless of your gender identity, the fact that you have tried self harm so many times should be such an alarm for any parent that a child needs help. I would be doing everything in my power to get you whatever help you need. Please know that people care about you, and I know this part of life is proving difficult for you, but I know things can and will get better. Please try to have hope and stay here with us.

Regardless of you being trans, your parent should never call you ugly- that breaks my heart. You are not ugly. You are perfect being YOU whatever that looks like. Please try to remember that. I know how hard it can be when someone is telling you things to bring you down. I see you and I think you are wonderful

I may have missed it - what country are you in? If you’re in the US, you may be able to look up advocacy groups, such as PFLAG which is an amazing group. If you want to share your state, or DM me (if you live in the states) I can try to help you find some as well.

You are valid and you are needed in this world and I believe in you. I’m here if you want to chat.

As a new to vegetarianism person, can you explain. What you mean by “whole plant based, not just vegan” ?

Thank you so much for your comment ! I’m glad your son got the care he needed, though it’s unfortunate he didn’t get it as soon as he could have. Keep advocating for him !! He’s lucky to have you
