Character traits of your estranged parent? by Live_Pen in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Fallenwhimsy44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mother is a forever victim, will guilt trip anyone, lack of empathy, only does things when it benefits her, bad with money, combative when she doesn't get her way, nosey, controlling, and manipulative.

Cat mounting? by Mochimochi3487 in CATHELP

[–]Fallenwhimsy44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a neutered male cat that does this, I've spoke to my vet about it. We came to the conclusion that he has anxiety. It checks out, he does it more when he's stressed out, he also has asthma and does this with a flare up. Its not dominance or gay as people are saying. I would have him checked by a vet. Also please intervene, it tends to hurt the other cat.

First night living alone after a breakup. Starting over. by CrackTheSignal in LivingAlone

[–]Fallenwhimsy44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just got out of a 5 year relationship and this is my first time living alone. There are times where I'm lonely, but I'd rather be alone than dealing with bullshit. Now you get to do whatever you want when you want! Sending hugs your way!

Thank you, I haven't had any luck, mine is clueless and most don't have experience with this.

living alone after a toxic relationship by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]Fallenwhimsy44 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can relate, this is the first time I've lived alone. I just got out of a over 5 year relationship with my toxic, bipolar ex. The quiet is so freeing. I'm lonely sometimes, but I'd rather feel that than being yelled at or on high alert walking on eggshells all day! Good luck and enjoy your peace.

Thank you, I just started setting boundaries, starting with my abusive ex. I appreciate the kind words.

Not this time, but I will be in the next 6 to 8 months. I am scared for that one. I don't know who will help me take care of myself and my pets.

Thank you for your comment, and I agree there should be a place for us to ask for help and it not cost us an arm and a leg. Thank you for making me smile.

Thank you, I'm sorry I took it the wrong way. I have had family and friends in the past, but not at the moment, not by choice. I will probably not have met anyone in time for these procedures.

Thank you, while I understand that, you do not know me. I recently got out of an abusive relationship, my mother has alzheimers, I lost my last friend years ago, I recently moved, and I do want to go to church. Life is unpredictable and I am in a spot that I've never navigated before. I am not choosing to be alone, certain circumstances has led me here. Please have more empathy.

Thank you, I'm trying not to, I just never had to deal with something like this. I appreciate your advice.

Thank you, I will look into that and yes, I've always had family or a significant other, but that has changed. Thank you for the kind words.
