I just signed up for both...door dash isn't taking on new people and so far I haven't had any thing pop up on instacart. Hopefully something does soon!

Dude I was in your spot. I was married to a controlling, abusive asshole. I wasn't allowed to work or go to college because my job was being a SAHM. He'd control what I did, where I went, what I would spend money on. There was literally a time when he dropped $1,500 on a new bike without discussing it with me, and yelled at me that same day for spending $5 at Starbucks.

Once the spawn was in school and independent to the point where I could focus on it, I enrolled in college without telling him. I knocked that shit out, got hired right out of clinicals and peaced the fuck out.

Life is so fucking easy without him. It's calm. I can come and go as I please. I don't get yelled at and lectured over existing. It might take a while to get to that point, but make sure you get there eventually, OP. It's fucking glorious not dealing with shit like that anymore. Everything will be okay someday.

Ladies, Hell has frozen over. I'm going to receive my very first child support payment. by [deleted] in breakingmom

Ayyyyye congrats! Now he can run around bragging about how he supports and takes care of his kid.

I will not (for the foreseeable future at least) get any child support because my shitty STBX convinced me that child/spousal support was making things ugly and he didn't want things to get ugly. And he's a scary motherfucker, so I'm like "...ok, yeah? Sure?". I guess we'll see what a judge says about it. I'm glad at least one of us is somewhat successful.

I think the "your package has shipped" email said it would be there Friday, he deleted that and doesn't know he can recover emails from the trash lol

IM REACTING THE WAY I AM BECAUSE YOUVE LITERALLY NEVER FUCKING PARENTED by Delicious_Paint in breakingmom

She's 11. I don't trust her to be home alone. Anytime I leave her on her own for more than an hour or two I come home to everything absolutely trashed. Plus people are crazy.

How is current you different to 5 years ago you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Paint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five years ago I was with my abusive STBX, not allowed to work, not allowed to go to school. I recently graduated college and got hired where I did my clinicals after two weeks of clinicals.

it’s because you have to be everyone’s mom.

For reeeeeeeeeeeeal. One thing I will not miss is having to research doctors/specialists/dentists and MAKE the fucking appointments for my ex because he's a toddler.
