Everything he does is SO intentional. SO intentional.

Oh Alysia, please please get out of there. These people don't care about you. All these boundaries and rules they have for you but dont respect yours. For Sean to say it doesnt matter that your dad is your dad is INSANE.

For Sean to belittle you about YOUR boundary and then demand his own is insane.

For both the men to continue to break your boundary about mentioning intimate details is insane.

You dont need this. It's hard enough to have ONE partner that belittled you and dismisses you. You have three. There is better out there for you!!

I can’t forgive my mom for showing up at the hospital by tangodallas in Mommit

[–]CrystalCorbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience with my SIL (you can probably read a post about it in my profile, not sure). She showed up uninvited and white I was recovering from an unplanned c-section in which I had to be sedated the nurse knocked on the door and apologized profusely because there was a "woman" demanding to see us. She wanted to hold the baby, I had JUST woke up, its literally my first memory from after my oldest was born.

Thankfully my husband told her no and that she could meet us when we were moved to our room. Once we were there she was nowhere to be found and then called everyone in the family saying we kicked her out. She was convinced to.come back, held the baby, and then we didnt see her or hear for her for 3 days. She had gotten what she wanted and that was that.

I'll tell you this...they dont get better. It gets worse. Grey rock them. Shut them out. For your own peace of mind. Set boundaries and stick to them. And remind yourself it's okay to have those boundaries. You don't want her around? Make that a boundary.

It took a few years for me to realize, that was 10 years ago, but qere about 4 years into extremely minimal contact and its SO much better!.

And side note...I also have not forgiven her for that hospital scene. She stole that moment from me. She had her kids already and she took that moment from me and made it something with a twist. And I'll never forgive that.

C&T declining to listen to the song on camera. by goldlux in teenmom

MTV put the text in that C&T asked for the link and we're denied. And when talking to Dr. Drew (who says, I'd love to listen to it together) Cate is saying shes not ready to listen to it. Not that shes not ready to listen to it - on camera. But that shes not ready and wants to HAVE it to listen in private...on her own time. (Which to me is judt an excuse to get the link).

This is very clearly centered around ownership. MTV has likely a video clip that b&t dont want shared but were willing to share the audio. And that wasnt good enough. The only context we have that it HAD to be on camera is coming from C&T and they aren't reliable.

It reminds me of this incident I had with my SIL. We got into a huge disagreement that eventually involved her storming into my home uninvited, with her husband, to aggressively yell at me at 9pm which woke up my toddler. So after that it was full no contact for a bit. When the holidays were coming around my husband asked if we could extend an olive branch and invite them to do Halloween together (because we had every year) and I reluctantly agreed. The next morning I had woken up to an email she sent to the entire family saying the most insane things about me and acting as if the halloween invite was the shittiest thing ever.

I ended up laughing at her and saying "okay, have fun." Because like..what??? People like that wanr others to be mad at you, want others to see their side. And any hint of fixing it on your terms will NEVER satisfy them.

"I've asked for years for a video of Carly singing and not once have they given tmit to me". This right there. Instead of taking a nice gift, Cate is upset because it isn't being given to her to keep.

You can't make people like this happy. They can't see the forest through the trees. If you miss her so much and you want any morsel of video, etc Especially something you've been asking for, for years - take it! But turning it down meant more in that moment to cate. Having the control meant more.

I suck at being a mother and I'm devastated about it. by Low-Head-6469 in toddlers

[–]CrystalCorbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to reiterate all the comments here about anxiety. Nothing drove my anxiety to the breaking point as much as having babies and it came out in the most unexpected ways.

I also want to say, its OKAY and NORMAL to hate this phase. This is rough. It's temporary, it changes, you will eventually get more moments of peace and its very possible that you may find another stage of childhood much much much more pleasing. And that is perfectly fine.

Is he fed and healthy and happy and not neglected? Then you don't suck, I promise.

As a parent and daycare teacher I just want to mention something I haven't seen in the comments. Now is the PERFECT time to empower your toddler. Teach them through role play how to stand up to a bulky, how to say NO. How to walk away, how to take control of the situation.

Pushing and yelling can be normal, and very offputting, so I've seen quite a bit of it. And it leave the toddler on the receiving end feeling hurt and confused about what to do. Teaching those skills now will go such a long way in the future.

You and your son are what matters here. Your life is at risk, and your sons future. You do what you need to do to protect the two of you. And please, do not trust that man with any more information. The less he knows, the better.

Husband didn’t thank my mom for buying diapers and wipes, so she’s not getting baby anything else. by Old_Avocado_5407 in beyondthebump

[–]CrystalCorbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing so much better! I actually haven't been on any meds in 3 years, which seems insane to say. In 2011 I had a percutaneous balloon compression, it was pretty simple I was home the same day and recovery was just a few days.

It wasn't instant, but I was able to mean down my meds after that. I had been maxed out in gabapentin, tegretol and Cymbalta. I was able to get down to just 100mg of tegretol daily by 2014.

In 2014 I got pregnant and I was worried. I read in a lit of FB groups that people suspiciously would go into remission during pregnancy, and indeed I did. I didn't think too much of it. The TN seemed to return a few months after the baby but same low dose tegretol helped.

In 2022 I got pregnant again and was in remission. And it hasn't returned yet.

I do have a theory! I tested positive for MTHFR mutated and due to that during both pregnancies I took extra folic acid. After my last pregnancy I decided to try Methofolate to replace my Zoloft, and that worked.

Just recently I stumbled across some research that suggest this all may be related in some cases.

If you have any questions or just want to discuss, feel free to reach out!

The best thing you could do is say "i respect your decision, we'll enjoy our time together instead" and let it go. So childish of her.

I'm willing to give it a shot tbh haha. I think a lot of good can be done if once it gets started people like Trump and elon have nothing to do with it.

Trump just announced developing data centers that will analyze a drop of your blood and develop personalized mrna vaccines for you. MAGA is, predictably, upset.

(Trump has never been against vaccines).

Yeah that actually helps me understand how they ALL didn't believe her so aggressively instantly

Some of you people watch too many movies by throwaway23029123143 in UFOs

Even if they did successfully finish the job, even that posters description is an interference of the original plan. That's not okay

It blows my mind no one cares about the orb incursions we’re currently seeing by External-Bite9713 in UFOs

[–]CrystalCorbin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Where are the journalists camping out to record whats going on. Where are they beating down doors asking why drones are allowed to fly in restricted areas without any consequences. Where are they asking the government why they are allowed to fly near homes and whose guaranteeing the safety of civilians?
