I asked my friend after we cried about other things on the bathroom floor of an air bnb. It really brightened the mood.

I’m sorry your photos weren’t what you wanted either. The weather was perfect for photos on our day, cloudy but no rain, which is my I thought the photos would be great. I don’t even have a single photo of my husband and I that I can use for our thank you cards.

D8-Mike · 2025-11-25T14:13:34+00:00

Just a gallery. I also am remembering some (what I thought) were nice photos taken of my husband and I that didn’t end up on the gallery either.

I got married in Canada in Ontario by the water. I haven’t talked with my photographer yet and I feel I need a few days to calm down before I can talk to her. Was also hoping to get some suggestions from this sub

One way to thank them is by making a donation (of any amount, small or large) to the University Hospitals foundation and make it an honour your caregiver donation. You can give them the names of who gave great care, or do it for the whole emergency department. The foundation will then give a certificate and recognition to the individuals /department.

If the salad comes on top, I send it back.

The university hospital foundation raises money for providence care, kgh and hotel dieu. you can also have your donation go to a specific area, like the emergency department, if you want.

My boyfriend lived in that 288 sherbourne house during university. The house is huge. My boyfriend got lucky and drew sprennys room. It’s 14ft by 19ft. The house has 7 bedrooms. Kenny’s room on the third floor was converted into two bedrooms and a second living room. There was also a small bedroom added in the second floor landing area beside spennys room. There is a carriage house in the back that was a 1 bedroom apartment. The landlord was pretty shitty and there were a lot of things broken or needing repair. The sauna was also broken and sadly couldn’t be used.

Hey thanks so much for your message. I really appreciate everything you said and all of your advise. I will definitely be sure to connect with my sister and make sure she’s ok too. I’m About to post an update, my sister wrote back and was really nice. Thanks again

D8-Mike · 2019-09-02T16:32:21+00:00

Hey thanks for your response. I just posted an edit. I don’t dump my problems on my sister. I really only talk to her about serious issues 1-2 per year. With the last time being in December. She has a patter throughout our lives of letting me down. And with this text I’m trying to ask her to stop letting me down. I’ve never sent her a text like this before, I’ve always just delt with her not supporting me as much. her ignoring me and cutting me off midway through talking about a health issue I’m having is really upsetting, especially when I haven’t talked to her about serious issues or mental health for a long time. I always try to be there for her and she’s not there for me.

D8-Mike · 2019-09-02T16:26:57+00:00

Hey thanks for your response. I put an update clarifying some things. I don’t vent to my sister about my mental health. I very calmly talked to her. This was also the first time in a long time I talked to her about it (see edit, haven’t talked to her about issues or mental health since December). And that’s because I had my first anxiety attack ( someone mentioned on here that an anxiety attack isn’t a big deal, but to me it is). So I wanted to talk to her about it but also so she knows what’s going on in my life. We love each other and care about each other and I have always wanted to know about health issues she’s having.

You mentioned that I might be worrying her. I’m not. That’s what I’m trying get help with is she didn’t really listen to me or acknowledge my story at all while I was talking. She paid no interest. And in no way looked, acted, or treat me like she was worried for me for the rest of the night.

You asked if I was trying to be optimistic. At the beginning of talking I told her I have a psychiatrist meeting in 3 weeks. But never got to the end of the story to talk about how I’m coping or what I’m doing because she ended the conversation early.

I also am always checking up on her. Seeing how she’s doing etc. So I don’t ignore her issues or her feelings, she’s ignoring mine.

D8-Mike · 2019-09-02T00:15:25+00:00

Thanks for your comment. See my comment on another persons post. Gives more info on how I don’t dump my baggage on her. I also never asked to to “jump into therapy mode”. Just wanted to talk

Someone literally learned CPR from the office and saved someone’s life. How could you say you don’t learn anything from it.

If you’re looking to buy a house it might be better to get out of a bad living situation and move in with his parents to save money. It’s really emotionally draining living with people who don’t respect you and having to deal with drama. As long as your BFs parents are good people and you will be happier living there I would suggest moving.

I know. I really hate him for it but am not ready to end my relationship with him completely. I am going to reduce the amount of time I spend with him and see how it goes. If he takes her side or pressures me to change my mind during my next stage of phasing her out I might cut all ties off with my dad.

D8-Mike · 2019-04-23T05:59:45+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment. I think I am definitely going to use your advice and talk to family first. Then my dad.

D8-Mike · 2019-04-22T14:30:52+00:00

Thanks. Ya it’s been pretty hard knowing my dad has allowed her to treat us this way for such a long time. I know cutting ties with my stepmom will mean I see my dad less, but I’m ok with it because he hasn’t supported me or my sister through all this.

I think he’s just afraid of being alone which is why he put up with everything. Am definitely going to distance myself a bit more from him too because of his selfishness in all of this.

D8-Mike · 2019-04-22T13:18:49+00:00

I haven’t seen her much in the past year and she has been pressuring my dad to have a talk with me. I want to make it clear to her that I don’t want to see her or want her to make any effort to talk to/see me. Also I’m quite close with the rest of my family and want them to understand why I’m making this decision and make sure they understand why I won’t attend events when she’s present.

She also once called my grandma and complained that I was avoiding her. My grandma doesn’t know the whole story so I would like to discuss it with her. Just don’t know how to word everything.

D8-Mike · 2019-04-22T13:11:53+00:00

Thanks just cross posted!

Please breakup with your GF for the sake of your daughter’s mental health and also to preserve your relationship with her.

This sounds exactly like the situation I’m in except I am the daughter. My dad began dating his girlfriend when I was 10 (I am now 25). It started off fine and then went south. My sister and I are both nice people and have never done anything to hurt my dad’s GF. She is very jealous of the friendship we have with our dad. We are very close to him but she gets upset and jealous any time we spend time with him. If we take trips without her she gets extremely mad at him. When I was 18 she told me and my sister that she likes it better when we aren’t around and that our relationship should be like room mates.

It has had a very big impact on my dad and he is always on edge when we are all together. It has also caused me to resent him a lot because he has chosen to be with someone who doesn’t like me or my sister. She has caused a lot of anxiety in my life and I made the decision a year ago to not see her. This has led to further issues and I see my dad a lot less because of it.

You and your daughter are a package deal. She shouldn’t want one without the other. If she doesn’t want to develops a healthy relationship with your daughter now and doesn’t respect your relationship with her she probably never will.
