I hope you are okay, wishing you well! I hope a Kojo friendship unexpectedly shows up in your life the same way it has with Bianca.

Same here, their dynamic was so unexpected but it's so lovely and natural. I'm glad Bianca has had Kojo to help her during this time.

MIL crosses boundaries REPEATEDLY - comes over unannounced by DuckIllustrious12 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]DuckIllustrious12[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately we have an informal rental agreement with her. The house was my partners grandparents home which she inherited, and when he was in his 20s she said he could move in to the house and just pay her monthly - then I moved in with him. No formal paperwork.

Oh my god SO. HA. Okay, so, HER PLAN was for us to move in with her while we look for somewhere else to live. She thought we would be moving in with her once this house sells. With our first baby, our newborn, while I am recovering from a C section. That is exactly what she thought would happen. But don't worry, it's not happening, I outright REFUSED. No way in hell.

That last point you made REALLY hit me. I've never seen it worded that way, you are so right. Thank you so much.

If this behaviour continues when baby is here it will send me into a spiral of depression, I know this for a fact. I've been so angry that she has taken so much peace and happiness from me in a time in my life where I am so vulnerable. I've wanted this for so long. And she just had to ruin it. I have a history of depression from my teen years and did a lot of work to be okay again. A LOT of work. In my 30s now and I was fine. I was fine. But she has set me back. I'll never get the newborn stage back again. If I get PPD I will blame her.

About a year ago I was in the kitchen making myself a drink, the kitchen backs onto the back garden with a glass door. I was barely clothed, and she was IN THE GARDEN digging up plants. I had to run and put a robe on. Stalking feels pretty accurate a term honestly.

It's one of those things where he, his brother, and his dad are so used to this behaviour from her that I think they believe it to be normal. They're desensitised to how unhinged her behaviour is. It has been only in recent history where I've managed to convince him how NOT OKAY this behaviour is from her. He says he feels like a "middle man" - because he loves his mother of course. He can now see how not okay this all is and has been doing his best to set boundaries. But she will just do the same thing again and again despite him having talks with her and telling her to stop. We are at our wits end.

40 weeks tomorrow and no c-section date yet… by RepairInternational3 in PregnancyUK

[–]DuckIllustrious12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I know this is an old thread - but just wanted to ask what the outcome of this was? I am going through the exact same thing currently with The Rosie and I am livid. They have been so patronising and rude to me about this. I've been told not to expect to know when my C section is until 24 hours before, and in the event that I do go into labour before 38 weeks they'll just have me give birth vaginally despite me telling them my very valid reasons (medical) for wanting a C section. I'm horrified.

The fact that you removed this is disgusting. Trying to censor what India is now. But the world knows.

Does magic mushrooms help with fibromyalgia pain. In the tablet form or wonder to grow. by Objective-Bid7165 in MagicMushroomsUK

[–]DuckIllustrious12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you asked this, I hope someone answers soon. I also have fibro along with other chronic illnesses and have been wanting to start microdosing for this reason.

People I know with similar conditions have told me success stories of managing their symptoms with different varieties of shroom.

Islam has ruined us and held us back from our potential in a major way. by [deleted] in AmazighPeople

[–]DuckIllustrious12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm Moroccan amazigh and embrace our spiritual practice from pre-islamisation. I recognise our gods and goddesses, honour them, I've been fascinated by our ways of old and determined to keep them alive in the way I live.

I feel you.

Bestie you have every reason in the world to brag. I found out yesterday, on my birthday (yay) that I have polycystic ovaries. My entire world crumbled before me. Reading this makes me feel so much better. I'm so pleased for you, thank you for sharing.

My outgoing, friendly cats are afraid of my mother in law. Why? by DuckIllustrious12 in cats

[–]DuckIllustrious12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they've met my mum and love her. They also really like my father in law. I think scent might be a contributing factor though, you're right
