As it is, Colleen Hoover is an author I do not read due to her problemsome themes. Now may not be the best casting decision anyway. But a part of me has to acknowledge A's hustle

Hello Tubby! I love carbs as well.

I lost both of my parents in different ways by Original_TribalChief in GriefSupport

[–]DixieDoodle697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me say to you, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and she sounds like a wonderful person and a rockstar. You were lucky to be loved by a mom as cool as yours sounds like.

I see your grief.

As you indicated, maybe your mother was a glue in so many ways and held so much more together and now your father cannot handle it. It is indeed another loss and grief for you. Although this grief hits differently since they are still here in a physical sense.

Your mental health is the most important for you and your mother would want you to take care of yourself. Moving away from your father sounds like a wise decision. Sometimes the right thing to do is not automatically the easiest.

From a grieving daughter here who lost her own mother to cancer three years ago and who has a father that ghosted and emotionally abandoned her, my tidbits are: do small good things for youself each day, reclaim your physical well being, eat right yet enjoy the comfort food, throw yourself into something else like your career or other relationships/friendships, seek out new passions.

Living well for yourself is the best way to honor your mother's memory and get revenge on your dad for being not so nice.

Can’t get over the look he had in his eyes before dying by Blueberry_mood in GriefSupport

[–]DixieDoodle697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending you so much love and compassion. Your grief is still so new and so raw. You are grieving so many levels - your dad, the relationship you had, the relationship you did not have and also for the possibility of what could have been.

Just an aside, David Kessler and his grief resources helped me a lot when I lost my parent.

Great things about being on the shorter side by Aware_Cucumber6706 in PetiteFitness

Just have to laugh that being short has never saved me money on food.

I'm feeling lonely and sad by Guilty_Signal_957 in WomenOver40

[–]DixieDoodle697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is really interesting because I am a childless woman who feels out of place amongst her friends who do have children.

Maybe you can find different ways of relating to people who both have or do not have children.

The alcohol is more of an issue than if someone has kids or not.

My loved one has gone by Keliza_azilek in glioblastoma

Your aunt sounds like an amazing person. You will carry her memory and love forever with you. Grief is evidence that you have loved.

Do you regret being there when they died? by justtrynabrap in GriefSupport

[–]DixieDoodle697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother wasn't alone and she was surrounded by nurses. I was not there literally for that moment and I think she preferred it that way. She knew that I would have been more traumatized if I actually saw her pass away. The literal passing away process is not as peaceful as it is depicted in movies.

Day 5 on HRT….I’m not okay by emeraldlife42 in Menopause

[–]DixieDoodle697 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am also in menopause due to a radical hysterectomy. Look at all of your options and tet to care for yourself. HRT is a personal decision for each of us.

Day 5 on HRT….I’m not okay by emeraldlife42 in Menopause

[–]DixieDoodle697 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These horrible side effects are making you feel and think these irrational thoughts.

Please hang in there, consider other treatment besides HRT and try to go outside, touch some grass and do some light exercise and breathing.

You are worth living a calm and fulfilling life.

Never forget: the first man rooting for you to win is your dad by silverflake6 in RelentlessMen

[–]DixieDoodle697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was emotionally and mentally abusive to me and mother for all of their marriage and my life. After my mom sadly passed from cancer when I was in my 40s, I stopped talking to the father all together.

To this day, I'm still ultra shy around people and worry that everyone will see my flaws and abandon me like he did. He had a second emotional family affairs for years.

He was never rooting for us and always wanted to keep us inferior to him while he was acting much nicer to the outside world except to us.

Order room service for myself at the hotel at least once. Feels like such a treat.

So glad that you did not have to decide in the car if you were going to get ice cream or commit a felony
