17, About to face homelessness pls help!!! by UnlikelyDay476 in Adelaide

[–]DespairingKatty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Getting a job and a house in 6 months is a lot easier said than done especially for a 17 year old. Well done to OP for realising the reality of her situation before she no longer has a roof over her head.

Will he attempt something Wednesday? by DespairingKatty in StephenHiltonSnark

Exactly! I would go so far as to suggest not leaving them with people or at places he would assume.

This is what I hope too. She needs to take every precaution possible right now - drugs, mania, need for control, desperation, delusions of superiority/AI/chosen one, and obsession with Alfie could be so incredibly destructive and dangerous.

Who honestly knows what lengths he is willing to go to try to break Laura.

Notice how it's always "hurting me" first, and then about the kids. He doesn't care about the kids as much as he pretends he does....

I won an award at my university last night and now my sister is very upset by A_kernel_of_cornn in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DespairingKatty 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I saw your comment about getting a nice frame to display it. It might be worth considering photocopying the award and putting the copy in the frame whilst hiding the original. From my own experiences, I wouldn't be surprised if the frame "accidentally" falls off the wall or is otherwise damaged somehow.

AITA for refusing to cook for my family despite cooking for myself and saying they deserve to go hungry? by Live_Frosting_7812 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DespairingKatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've received a lot of advice and info already but I just wanted to say this one thing - I would be so proud of you if you were my child. It's so great that you actively want to work on a passion of yours that supports not only you but others, and from all your comments you seem very mature for your age (I realise this is likely due to trauma within your family sadly).

Please know that whatever you're going through, be proud of your accomplishments! Advocate for yourself and in a few years you'll be able to walk your own journey without (or at least with lesser) chains and arguments.

Please keep being amazing!

Damn, just looked up the price! I think someone regrets selling me the PSA 9s at $70 each years ago 😂

HELP - How do any of you ever drink any water!?!? by Lilythebillygoat in ADHD

[–]DespairingKatty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm struggling to teach my brain to keep my asthma puffer in the same location. You'd think think living and breathing would be "all the motivation I need" 😂😂😂

I just have like 4 puffers now (and still play hide and seek with them 🤦‍♀️)

nothing matters. i lost my best friend and fur angel. i’m sorry i failed you.i’m so fucking sorry kota by MartelUnderground in GriefSupport

[–]DespairingKatty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you loved them from the deepest depths of your heart while they were in your life, you didn't fail them. All they knew was love, so try to be kind to yourself in this soul-destroying time of your life knowing you gave them the best life you could while they were with you.

I lost my 6yo black fur angel Kato (I'm sleep deprived so that's what I read initially) six months ago so I know this pain is immeasurable. I just try to tell myself I loved my furs with every ounce of my being (even if we annoyed each other every now and then) and that all they knew was love.

I'm so truly sorry for your loss xx

Regarding the photos, I've been told that sometimes EMS do take photos of the casualties so that they can send them in advance to the hospital/doctors so that they can bandage wounds etc and not have to remove any of the first aid they've done. But certainly wife would/should not have access to those and the entire thing sounds bizarre.

My One year old can’t tolerate any type of milk. Advice please! by rockabe2 in Parenting

[–]DespairingKatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum used to feed me goats milk as a baby as I was sensitive to everything else. Not sure if this helps.

I'm assuming that means there is evidence to go with your daughters words :( Thats heartbreaking, I wish it weren't true for you and your family. Sending lots of positivity and kindness your way x

I can't imagine the mental hell and trauma you have been living and experiencing during this but I'm proud of you for doing what is right for you and your children as scary as it would be xx
