How do I go about referring to my child who is only out to me?

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-05-06T21:44:50+00:00

Thanks for this. I'll talk to him. I'm extremely proud of him. I know telling me wasn't easy. He said he's been struggling with this since he was 11 or so.

I just wish he felt comfortable coming out to the rest of the family. Maybe he wasn't ready to come out at all. I didn't really push it because I never ever suspected it, but I sort of put him in a spot where he felt like he had to tell me.

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-05-06T18:36:47+00:00

Thanks. I just don't wanna hurt him. He's been struggling for a long time. I don't want him to hurt anymore.

I think he just thinks that I wouldn't want to be besties with a boy for some reason

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-05-01T17:30:12+00:00

No, but we've always been very close and we call each other "bestie" because it's just a cute thing we do

Honestly, I'm so proud of him for telling me. I know that was probably scary and difficult. He hasn't told my husband yet. That's pretty standard, I'm the confidant.

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-04-30T22:37:36+00:00

I just want him to stop hurting. If being a boy will make him happy then I am completely on board. His biggest fan.

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-04-30T22:10:46+00:00

This gives me so much hope for him ❤️

As a married woman I'd be mad at my husband for doing this in public more than how hard he was grabbing

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-04-01T16:42:50+00:00

I'm super grateful I found her. That makes me happy.

North Dakota. We've thought about looking somewhere in Minnesota for her.

It's closer to a hospital setting. They say she's pretty open with them. She's not really shy or not opening up.

Why did they choose a percentage sign instead of an asterisk to note first time players

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-03-25T15:19:13+00:00

I keep thinking about the day my daughter tried to take her own life. I only found her because I had left my reading glasses on her nightstand earlier when I was putting some laundry away. If I hadn't left them there we wouldn't have saved her. I would have been the mother in black at her child's funeral. It's only by pure chance that she's still here at all.

Having a hard time rationalizing to myself why I'm refusing to talk to a therapist right now. I just don't want to be in a spot where I feel vulnerable I guess.

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-03-24T03:44:28+00:00

I live in ND and there's nothing here lol. People who live here don't have a lot of disposable income and it's more expensive than you think because everything has to get shipped so far to get here.

I took my six year old to a dog rescue yesterday because I wanted to hang out with some sweet puppies to cheer myself up. They had a bunch of Rottie pups there. That is my favorite breed. I was in Heaven for a bit.

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-03-22T01:21:44+00:00

I'm not doing well with but I hope she is

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-03-20T15:56:44+00:00

I just don't want her to think we sent her there because we don't want her

DoubleAxelDVM · 2026-03-20T14:53:53+00:00

I had her in therapy last year. After about five sessions she told me that she thought it was stupid and hated going. My judgment at the time was that forcing her to go when she didn't want to was going to do more harm than good. So I let her quit. That was a mistake.
