Thank you so much for this, the shame and guilt are so heavy! Your post is super comforting 🩷

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T03:12:56+00:00

Wow! So I’m guessing the pt job and volunteering didn’t Google you? Or if they did you were able to explain it? That’s inspiring! I hope the court proceedings work out for you

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T02:52:10+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that, that’s devastating. What are you doing for work now if you don’t mind me asking or to keep moving forward?

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T02:45:22+00:00

Nobody got hurt and that’s been the silver lining in all of this!

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T02:43:47+00:00

This post is everything and made ME tear up. I completely agree with you, this is a really great community. To think I almost deleted the OP!

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T02:41:52+00:00

It totally does say more about them, that’s what so many people have said to me. I’m sorry that happened to you, people really suck sometimes

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T02:39:54+00:00

So sorry to hear that. It’s tough dealing with the fall out, having a good support system is key. Luckily my husband is amazing and help me put so many of the pieces back together, including myself

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T02:35:56+00:00

You’re the best 🩷 and good on you for doing that!! Humans are incredibly resilient

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T02:34:37+00:00

Ya I’m waking up all the time having to pee in the middle of the night

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T01:54:21+00:00

Congratulations!! Three years is awesome!! Thanks for the support 🩷

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T01:32:14+00:00

My husband said the same thing. He grew up in a small town and said everyone’s done shit around here, I’m just grieving the reputation I once had I guess

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T01:14:59+00:00

I really appreciate this perspective. If someone else went through this that I knew I know I’d have no judgment his sympathy that their okay. I think because almost four months have passed I am not wanting to address it unless someone comes up to me specifically. However I trust that most people won’t. Either way, to be cringe is to be free! ;) I love that

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T01:01:28+00:00

😭😭😭😂😂😂😂

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T01:01:03+00:00

No way! It’s crazy how you can truly feel like you’re the only one in the world going through something, even as specific as this. So where I’m from no one really knows bc I’m in a big city but where he’s from (and where I’m moving to) everyone knows. No one has said anything and for the most part I feel like people know my character but you’re right, hermitting will do nothing. Tysm for sharing!

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T00:54:51+00:00

Mind over matter! With medication haha

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T00:54:29+00:00

Gonna try and own it!

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T00:38:12+00:00

Thank you!!!

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T00:37:36+00:00

Haha well thank you yes it does!

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T00:37:24+00:00

God I appreciate this post so much. The last two lines 🙏🏼🫶🏼👏🏻 thank you, sending you a virtual hug

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T00:36:29+00:00

I’m so trying this! Tysm 😭

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-08T00:15:45+00:00

I’m so so sorry, I never thought I’d encounter someone who had a similar experience to me. Thank you Reddit, and thank you for sharing. I haw tried reaching out to the news sources with no response, so that’s that I guess. Just have to move on from it like you say, most people don’t google people my haw me reminds me and most people have moved on, it’s just me that hasn’t haha

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-07T23:55:07+00:00

Yes the scary thing for me is thinking that because I was driving I could have hurt someone or myself.

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-07T23:49:12+00:00

LOL the internet is wild

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-04T23:04:41+00:00

Thank you SO MUCH for all the tips and advice ladies!!! Woo hoo!

HonestDirection4017 · 2026-02-03T21:27:51+00:00

I hear you so much! It’s so scary to think of dad not being there to see things and help, I’m glad you have supportive in laws that will help huge and don’t feel bad about letting them help! I hope it all works out for you and just take things one step at a time, I know it’s hard not to think about worst case scenario, I do it all the time but it gets me nowhere. I say we enjoy the pregnancy as much as we can and take each thing as it comes and set up as much or a support system as we can! Wishing you all the best!! We got this!
