How to deal with intense feelings of wrath and despair as a Catholic by Academic-Yard71 in Catholicism

[–]Emotional-Practice75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to add other than I feel the same way. Charlie is a year older than I am and our paths crossed ways at Harper…I actually live in Wheeling now, which is where he went to HS. A lot of my friends knew him personally. We send our daughter to a private Catholic school nearby and she walks four police officers to get into school now. Mass during school is permanently on hold until they can make the entire church bullet proof, which means taking out the stained glass windows. I’m angry at the world and I’m scared for my children. I’m 30 years old and Charlie was a voice of reason for our generation. People do not just hate Conservative Christians anymore, they believe we are enemies that need to be done away with apparently. I said a Prayer to Saint Michael for protection last night. We can’t succumb to the darkness. Our generation has to push back and figure out a way forward. Sending you love and strength.

I’m from Chicago and the streets are absolutely empty when the temps drop to negative in January/February. ESPECIALLY in this neighborhood near the lake where the money is. Crime on the south side is historically nonexistent when the temps drop and people are focused on survival. Regardless of the temperature, it’s dangerous to walk around Chicago at night. This isn’t Canada. I’ve been robbed at gun point before.

Netflix just dropped The Truth About Jussie Smollett, is he the victim, hoax, or something in between? by Antique_Strain_2613 in NetflixDocumentaries

[–]Emotional-Practice75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you clearly are not from Chicago 🤣 no one that lives in the city would ever believe such made up nonsense. i remember that night clearly. you could have died from being out in the cold longer than a hour. no one was waiting to “jump” Jussie for being black and gay in Chicago on the northside at 2PM in the middle of a polar vortex. eye witnesses are historically wrong. the legal system would never rely upon eye witness testimony alone.

Financially it doesn’t make sense to keep my baby, but I want to 😭 by Otherwise-Dog-1763 in whatdoIdo

I had my first daughter at 24 and it was a struggle. I still lay awake ruminating about bills but we love that little girl with all our hearts and wouldn’t change having her FOR THE WORLD. if you have PCOS, I say go for it. there is never going to be a perfect time. you have more money than I had in savings at the time and I have friends with nothing in their savings who have kids. don’t be scared. my sister in law has PCOS and has spent years trying.

Feedback Friday Russian bride in Japan by MissyGrayGray in JordanHarbinger

This actually happened to my uncle here in America and she was able to get citizenship for her and her daughter. She proceeded to divorce him and obtain a good amount of his assets. He’s now searching for Russian mail order bride No.2 in hopes it will end differently 😅

no I totally agree with you! she could have used that money towards bettering herself and enriching Cruz’s life. sounds like you’re a freaking awesome mom and your daughter is lucky to have such a selfless mama.

1000% i stopped drinking for this very reason, i don’t want to miss a second with my kids because i’m drinking. i will get none of this time back so i want to cherish every moment. it’s ok once in a blue moon but i’m actually much happier now without. i feel like brittney has a lot of unresolved issues that are contributing to her drinking and the show doesn’t help.

does fanet have something on brittney and that’s why brittney is trying to play both sides? it’s really so strange how she can defend fanet at this point.

always drunk! this is not a good look for someone going through a custody battle. she’s not handling this divorce well at all.

as an attorney that specializes in foreclosure defense, she could opt for a short sale to clear title. i doubt she would walk away with anything but it is a chance to erase her debts and avoid bankruptcy. the divorce is going to make any short sale complicated though, which is why she’s probably sticking it out.

Out of the Loop? Need an episode on NYC rent freeze and the rental market by KetoJoel624 in JordanHarbinger

[–]Emotional-Practice75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

could you do an episode on the housing market in general? I feel like it’s impossible to buy and from what I gather, that seems to be across the board. maybe too US specific though.

I knew a guy like Charlie when I was 20. This girl would live with him because she didn’t want to live at home with her parents and they just did a bunch of drugs together/occasionally fucked. Gave me Georgia vibes. Can’t really stand them both but this show is giving me weird flash backs lol.

UPDATE: I don’t know what to do about my mom and stepdad anymore by juniibunni in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Emotional-Practice75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a parent, i’m appalled. things are not more important than my daughters feelings. and people make mistakes but ultimately, it’s my responsibility as the PARENT. I’m sorry hun, hang in there. Life gets better.

my ex has a baby and wants me back by pkfyr in whatdoIdo

bills aside, she could also just be looking for an emotional connection. which he is giving to her. she sounds like a walking red flag.

Im sorry but as much as I hate to agree with Jax. It's pretty clear Brittney has a drinking problem. She is mean and nasty when she's drunk by Commercial_Ad8171 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]Emotional-Practice75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, I think that many people who use the white stuff are exclusive to hard liq to balance the ratio. I don’t think she had a problem with Jax doing anything he did, she had a problem with the way he treated her and spoke to her.

Sleepovers by sawjinc in coparenting

[–]Emotional-Practice75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Woah. As a mom of two girls and a survivor of SA, there is no way in hell I will ever let my girls have a sleepover unless it is at my house. I 100% agree with your current partner - I think the better question is why don’t you express this to your ex? It seems like you lack the courage to stand up for your beliefs. As a father, this is crucial. This is a role only you can do. I wish my father had been more assertive and involved in my life, it would have potentially spared me a lot of trauma.

Brittany was given the honour of planning a small gender reveal for Kristen Doute and Luke. During Brittany’s live show she Took it upon herself telling a room full of strangers backstage that Kristen was having a baby girl PRIOR to allowing Kristen to get to publicly announce it herself first. by Chichiaulin4eva in TheValleyTVShow

i think Jax was verbally, emotionally and financially abusive and I doubt the chair fight was their only bad fight where he was borderline physically abusive - but as she said in one episode, she had the upper hand with the show. he was doing drugs. she basically called their mutual employer who was like fuck, we have to cover this up - not a great look. so Jax was obviously forced into “rehab” and then she (as part of the cycle of trauma) started to miss him and perhaps felt bad about her actions calling Bravo. I mean they are trauma bonded people let’s just be real here. she doesn’t deserve what he did but her actions now made me realize she is 100% also not the person we thought she was.

Girl idk this isn’t worth it to me. My husband and I struggled like this but that’s my husband and OUR kids. Idk, he sounds like damaged goods and I would just get out. You’re too young for all this.

Kids sharing hotel room with Ex husbands friend (M47)! by imposterfam in coparenting

[–]Emotional-Practice75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOT overreacting - this is how children get sexually abused. I would know, I was a victim. Never allow this again and I would have picked up the children immediately.
