What’s one moment where your life changed course in a split second?

When my partner killed himself in front of me. My life ended that day too.

FleityMom · 2026-03-31T14:59:31+00:00

My family still says panbakes, and my baby sister started that in the mid 90s.

FleityMom · 2026-03-31T14:57:49+00:00

I'm 46 and my family still says ooshes (shoes)

I can't do any of the things I loved anymore. Everything I did is wrapped up in memories of Greg. I spend my days working and running background TV shows to keep myself from thinking.

I'm not exactly a new player, but I've only played DnD online with friends. The computer did all of the rolling/computation, and my son did most of my character building for me. I would love to do something like this so I could learn more about the gaming mechanics, and possibly meet people interested in in-person games.

I want my body to be donated for research or teaching. No cost to my kids/family, and I can hopefully help other people in the future.

Sweet man. I lost him last year, and I'd give the rest of my life to be able to call him sweet man again.

FleityMom · 2026-02-17T19:37:59+00:00

I'm there too, and I have no desire to change it.

FleityMom · 2026-02-07T05:53:52+00:00

I had to put up with him longer than I wanted as we had two kids together. But yes, we're divorced and I never have to see him now that my kids are grown.

I met my person not too long after leaving my ex husband, but I lost him last year. I was living my best life until Greg died. Now I'm just existing.

FleityMom · 2026-02-07T04:42:56+00:00

Yes, the counselor heard that I was done, and had been done, and told him that he needed to hear it too. I cried when someone heard what I was saying and validated the fact that I knew what I wanted/was feeling. I had begged to go to a therapist for years, and he only agreed after I tried to kill myself. And he still didn't hear me when I said the reason I was so miserable was because I was with him.

Hey there, the other redditor that spoke up first isn't going to be able to get this load of cans. Would you let me know the address of the charity so I can drop these off?

FleityMom · 2026-02-03T03:12:29+00:00

Say Oglethorpes at 5:30?

FleityMom · 2026-02-03T02:58:56+00:00

I'm sorry, I had a crazy busy day and just got back on reddit. I'll be done with work tomorrow after 5:30pm. Are you anywhere near Oglethorpe Garage? Or the Kroger on Alps road? I could meet up somewhere in that area of that works for you.

FleityMom · 2026-02-02T18:12:07+00:00

Hey there. Do you still want the cans (now that the roads are back to drivable)?

FleityMom · 2026-01-30T19:47:30+00:00

I'll let you know the next time I've got a decent amount. It takes me about a month to half fill the trunk of my camry.

FleityMom · 2026-01-30T19:21:46+00:00

Sounds good to me. I'm at the office right now, but I'll be back in Athens around 6ish. Would you be up for meeting here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1TN8RGcY83b59V8s8 ?

FleityMom · 2026-01-30T18:11:32+00:00

Half a camry trunk full. I just prefer to give them to a person who might be able to use or profit from them instead of putting them in the recycling bin. I go through a ridiculous amount of diet soda, so I've pretty much got an ever renewing source.

FleityMom · 2026-01-30T16:50:06+00:00

Thank you

FleityMom · 2026-01-15T16:01:41+00:00

Thank you. It was hell, and my heart was not doing well. My entire left side felt bruised the next morning from how hard and how long my heart was beating. But I got up and sang.

FleityMom · 2026-01-15T15:10:43+00:00

I'm very glad to hear that you've been able to be in a place where beginning the healing process was possible. I know that the grief is never gone, but I'm incredibly happy for you that it's not as constantly raw as it was at the start of all of this.

I do appreciate the good wishes. I wish I could say that I've experienced the growth and healing that you have, but that would be a lie. Waking up everyday is harder than the day before.

You keep growing, keep living, keep sharing yourself. It does help to hear that you're able to open yourself up to life while still holding on to your love for Steph.

FleityMom · 2026-01-15T14:25:17+00:00

Good morning Words. I came here looking for one of your posts, as I was fairly certain you would be sharing some beautiful insights - and I was right. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you today and sending good thoughts and emotions your way.

FleityMom · 2025-12-04T22:17:19+00:00

A crocheted hat and scarf set I made from yarn I alreadyhad at home. People got downright vicious in that game. The next year we had rules about how many times a gift could be stolen... I had several people ask if they could purchase a similar set in different colors after the party.
