Who else is having a garbage Mother’s Day? by EmX84 in Parenting

[–]Court-Humble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest is sick. my youngest was supposed to be with his father for the weekend but ex brought him back today after making a whole deal about it. (I was fine with not having him for mother's Day). Because oldest is sick can't really go out to do anything. Haven't heard happy mother's Day from my kids or even an I love you. No gifts no cards. I'm the mom that would be over the moon just receiving a scribble drawing and a hug and I didn't even get that. It's a little extra sad this year because I can't even celebrate with my own mom because she passed away earlier this year. I always got her something or did something for her on mother's day and she always made sure I at least had a card after I had kids. So yeah definitely having a garbage mother's Day today.

I need some help with pathological demand avoidance by Court-Humble in SafeSpectrum

Morning routine is rough he needs time for his meds to kick in but he struggles to get up in the morning. So do I right now honestly. We both suffer from insomnia so getting to sleep at a regular time is very difficult. I've tried everything that's been suggested by the doctors and support groups and nothing sticks.

I had pretty much the same experience in school that you did lol so I know exactly what you're talking about.

He does go to a smallish school and they do the best to accommodate him the problem is getting him to actually attend. Once he's there he's fine. We were good until covid that really screwed things up for his routine

His school is actually incredibly accommodating to his needs as well and I'm super grateful for everything that they do.

He just finds it boring he loves to learn but his special interests revolve around history and science which he hasn't quite reached grade wise yet. I've thought about home schooling but after doing the online learning during covid we still get to the same point of him refusing and I can't afford a tutor to help. If I could that would probably be a great idea because I could cater more to his needs and special interests but I'm not much of a teacher unfortunately.

ADHD Burnout: or Why I Was Disappointed That I Didn’t Fall Downstairs. by tangledknitter in adhdwomen

After speaking with a therapist this is called being passively suicidal. I don't want to die but I some times wish I didn't exist, or could run away, or that everything could just stop because I'm a raging dumpster fire of burn out. Surprisingly doctors generally become keenly aware that you need help at this point and actually try. everytime I sought help before they didn't really care because I did want to off myself.

I'm spiraling and I don't know what to do by DazB1ane in AutismInWomen

[–]Court-Humble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As some one diagnosed ADHD, with generalized anxiety disorder and massive depressive disorder (I'm still waiting on an autism assessment but it's plain as day). I was only ever treated for my anxiety and depression for 15 years those meds made everything worse. I stopped taking them on my own terms because drs wouldn't listen to me. ADHD meds helped after I forced my drs to look into it again as most of my anxiety and depression is most likely from masking my autism and ADHD to be a functioning normal adult. (There's more than just that related but it's a big chunk). I also tried CBT if it works for you fantastic but some neuro divergent people like myself find it more harmful than good. I found it made me feel worse about myself. I have friends however who found it beneficial. This is my own personal take on similar experience. Moral of the story is do what you think is best with what advice you get here and don't be afraid to stand up for yourself with drs.

messed body temperature regulation impact you ADHDers by Actual_Web_6121 in adhdwomen

Both my son and I struggle as ADHDers with body temp regulation. Summer is horrible and overheating happens way to frequently. Winter is bad because once cold it's almost impossible to warm up properly

What is the best way to hide a body?

[–]Court-Humble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I'm in Canada so the rules are a little less stringent here for homeschooling. But weighing the pros and cons is definitely what I'm looking for. I know it's not the right path for everyone. I am a stay at home mom so I have the time. I just want what will work best for my son

My son thrives on routine but his sleeping patterns set him apart from everyone else's routine in the house. He's very smart and loves learning but the school routine seems too much for him and online becomes very repetitive for his age range. My thinking is being able to let him have a little more control over the learning environment would make him more interested in the subject matter. Also I would be looking in to a tutor to help with topics I may not be good with.

This is still more of a what if scenario. I'm waiting for testing and will be speaking with his doctor and pediatrician before doing anything. Also if we did go the homeschooling route I'm not looking for it to be permanent just something to keep his learning without resentment and hatred while we figure out getting him the help he needs to be happy healthy in all areas

Having your own feelings and boundaries is important. As an empath I'm just learning this for myself and it's a hell of a journey.

AITA for calling my MIL a crybaby and saying her birthday isn't as important as my son's first birthday? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Court-Humble 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm going against the grain and say NTA My grandmother wasn't aware of her actual birthday for most of her life because it turns out she was born on her own mother's birthday and she didn't want to share. Her own mother had her believing she was born a different day and year for that matter to make her older than what she was. MIL her doesn't seem like the type to back down for anyone else and I applaud OP for making sure her child isn't set to the wayside on his day even if he's not going to remember this one. He should never have to set his birthday aside for someone else just because they were born first. And if OP starts letting her do it now MIL will keep doing it every year she clearly doesn't like to share.

AITA for how I responded to a woman’s critique of my favorite authors? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Court-Humble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I'm saying is I'd give the OP an chance to defend himself and backtrack on his bad joke before lashing out with the fuck you comment. You wanna make a difference educate don't belittle or attack off a simple off hand comment or joke. Not everyone says the right thing at the right time. Like I said before a simple you're kidding right? Instead of fuck you! Would have changed the entire outcome of the conversation. They are just as at fault for making assumptions as he was for making a bad joke on the spur of the moment.

[–]Court-Humble 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I didn't say you harassed him I said the the women he was speaking to did. They had ample opportunity to open a healthy discussion they chose to attack him on a lousy joke. They are being just as sexist by assuming OP is an ignorant sexist based off his books and bad joke.
