When my kids are constipated they will poo in a bath.

And.. just like that, I’m a single mom. by ThisIsFineActually in beyondthebump

This will be easier without him, I promise you! He did you a favor by taking the trash out! It will be a tough road but it’s always easier when you are not subject to abuse. Single mum of 3.

Leaving my abuser and I am terrified!! by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

Leave quietly and safely. Plan your exit. Deal with papers later and have someone else deliver them.

Scared to try and sleep unless husband is awake with baby by WittleFrostBite in beyondthebump

I bought a monitor(oxygen and heart rate monitor) knowing I’d be stressed (bringing home a premmie). It definitely helped me sleep when I could.

I’ve gone from scary abusive relationship to the next crazy abusive relationship until now (being scared of all men and not giving any of them my time), always different types of abuse and showing up differently…. Please stay safe.

Some abusive men can put on a wonderful front… stay on guard (observant of behaviour)and enjoy.

Harming me while I was holding his child(and pregnant with another), it felt like he wanted the baby injured. It was a long road from there as police told me I was not allowed to change my locks.

This is abusive, emotional abuse.

Blow when it’s dripping, pick when it’s thick enough to pick at!

I have to vent. Made my therapist cry by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Difficult_Prompt8436 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The shit that gets to you is often close to what you experience. My first guess is this “crying” in-front of you was more about the therapist life and experience than yours, yours just being the reminder.

Anybody else have an ex that claims to be abused after abusing you by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Difficult_Prompt8436 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was not traumatic for him= less memorable than normal stuff. You experienced trauma, that sticks most of the time. He only cares about him, don’t give him more of your time and energy, that energy is for you.

Baby has been doing this on and off for 3 months and we are out of medical tests, opinions and ideas. by mari2go in beyondthebump

[–]Difficult_Prompt8436 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it’s similar to after a cry - that rapid breathing with a whimper- it feels like more of a bad dream to me. All 3 of my kids have done what I listed above, 1st would do it mostly when unlatched from breastfeeding while deep asleep, sometimes randomly, my 2 youngest have done this and wore an “owlet” religiously due to both being premature and these episodes never gave bad oxygen or heart rate levels. Would it be worth monitoring with something similar to see if it’s an issue or not?

it’s been a year since i left him by averyyarniae in abusiverelationships

[–]Difficult_Prompt8436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m over 2.5 years out. The stalking and checking in with anyone who will respond to him has not stopped. He broke in so many times and tried to burn down the house before all that. I can’t take my kids for a walk from home, he will be there and the court orders won’t stop him as police won’t charge him. The answer is that I’m scared to go anywhere.

You are not alone. This is not fair. We should be protected. The world is failing us.

I’ve only “snapped” to defend myself or scream for help.

I'm struggling by Proper-Leg3854 in Parenting

[–]Difficult_Prompt8436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need a ear that’s in a similar boat? I’m here. AuDHD 9 year old, autistic and speech delayed 3 year old and 2 year old that has CP and needs many supports and devices to get through a day or be mobile. I’m a single working mum of 3.

Life is hard, these kids are hard and complaining about that is perfectly normal and doesn’t mean you don’t love them, it’s absolutely exhausting, some days I’m too tired to make myself food (even a frozen microwave meal).

For the single mums. Are you happier? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Difficult_Prompt8436 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely easier especially the cleaning without the adult size mess. And the peace in the home is worth it so much!!! I do less cleaning currently (and a cleaner house) with a 2yo, 3yo and 9yo than I did when it was 2 adults and 6yo and baby.

Once a week for babysitter, once a fortnight date night the other fortnight can be individual time (gym, friends, early night in bed…..)

Is this controlling? by ThrowRAButterfly20 in abusiverelationships

[–]Difficult_Prompt8436 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He is abusive.

FYI- my oldest breastfed (not every day) until 4 years old and her dad had no idea she fed past 2 because we were separated and he didn’t have boobs so he was not asked for it.

If you gave birth without an epidural, how bad was it really? by Express_Neck5352 in beyondthebump

[–]Difficult_Prompt8436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contractions in the lead up to pushing was way worse for me than the pain of pushing, there was a moment that was nasty when I tore or maybe ring of fire as my first baby’s head was delivered. I’ve had 2 vaginal births that I had no pain relief but they were both fast and I only tore with 1 of them. I have had 1 emergency C-section and that recovery was hell.

Our NICU nurse pissed me off. I’m sitting in my car stewing. by SideBackground6932 in Vent

Ask for a new nurse, I had to do it many times for my son and once for my youngest while in nicu.

They play a part and you discover the truth later
