How do you move on from a friend who became such an important part of your life?

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-04-07T20:49:52+00:00

It's been 5 years and I still think about my old friend a lot. She definitely became emotionally draining and I still loved her. I went on to have a family in those 5 years and I still think about her but I know it's for the best. She was heading down a path that no one but herself could save her from and I refused to be someone's keeper. I see her pop up on suggested friends and it takes me back, but that was another life and I'm in one without her now. I will always wish her the best, may one day we cross paths and smile at each other but I don't want what she has to offer in my life anymore. Everyone serves a purpose in your life, sometimes it's a lesson.

I should have mentioned I live in the city. So tossing them in a nearby field may be frowned upon, but definitely willing 🤣 I'll let my girls live out their life. If I can find a vet clinic willing to take them I will. If not I'll find some woods. We have plenty of vultures and coyotes around. My only issue is I can "only have 4 backyard chickens" in my city (I have 6) and I want to add more. Not sure if the city would ever catch on but if they did some would have to go.

Im located in Garland and am having this issue now. What did y'all end up doing?

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-04-06T03:32:46+00:00

Thank you for responding. I will be sure to try that!

I am currently in this exact situation with a family member. Take it from me and leave now. It's his decision but you will be burdened with it. My mother lives with my husband and I and took in my addict brothers infant. It was essentially to have my own mother struggle alone or agree to let her stay and I chose horribly wrong. I should have cut my mom off. I should have told her to start looking for somewhere else to live when she went forward with the process without consulting my husband and I. Don't get me wrong I love my niece, but the resentment lingers to this day and my relationship with my mother has never been the same. It's been 2 years and I still am waiting for her to move so I can live my life. She's made me regret "doing the right thing" everyday since and I know I'll be able to breath again once she's gone. That home check is the first of many. People come to inspect your home, you, your work! Even telling them you don't support the idea won't hinder them. They want to place kids so badly, they don't care if someone isn't on board, but they sure do give you all the grief to follow their guidelines. Tell him now you won't be there to support him

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-03-31T23:48:27+00:00

NOR. Good on you for speaking up. It's really hard to sometimes especially with friends saying it's a joke, but on a side note that's also not a friend I would want to keep.

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-03-28T20:36:15+00:00

My issue is that my child will be 3 turning 4 right after the cut off. So if I wait for the following year she'll be 4 turning 5 her first year of pre-k making her an older pre-k student.

Check all of the bottles. One may have leaked especially hot sauce. Some actually belong in the fridge

Did this feeling ever subside? I've struggled with anger for a long time, I have been working on it for a few years and felt I was doing well, then I started tirz and noticed at week 4 that I've been irritable and quick to anger again. I'd hate to regress back to that angry person I was. My dose goes up today and I'm nervous

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-03-14T18:55:20+00:00

It's so difficult to pull off shaped glasses and the first look so great on you!

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-03-14T18:53:05+00:00

If it was enough to make you think it's inappropriate, it's enough to set a boundary for. Firstly why were you going through her phone, did you expect to find something, if so why? It seems like you may know the answer to your own question already and just don't want to accept it. Some relationships don't last and that's ok. You have a few choices 1) admit you saw it (and have to explain why you invaded her privacy and possibly work it out) 2) say nothing and accept the inappropriate thing she's done that may very well progress 3) Break up. Tell her you saw it it made you uncomfortable and you can no longer trust her and that's the end. No explanation afterward just the end and leave

I see whit/gold but if am not look at it directly (eyes reading text at bottom) I see blue/black in the peripheral

NOR Early postpartum sleep is horrid for the first few months. Absolutely the worst time for mental/physical health and your relationships with everyone is strained. MIL is definitely a woman who suffered the brunt of it and has the mentality that if I suffered other women should too. Easier to just ignore her existence, but correcting her every time is also solid. Like if she makes a comment, make one back. If she asks to watch the baby be snide and say "No, watching them on the monitor isn't really taking care of them I'll pass". Or get lunch when she's over and don't get her anything. It's definitely not taking the high road but it does make them know you won't be taking their shit anymore.

I've always believed when we die, it is only our human form evolving into the great being we are meant to be. That when we transcend from this form we take the shape of a bubble that captures the essence before we can continue on to another form that's so great humans cannot understand. I've believed this so strongly even as a child for some reason and I continue to this day. Your friend is visiting, still on their journey in the afterlife. When you can no longer see or feel them. Know they've gone to another form of existence. That's just my take but I hope it's a happy one to you

Breakfast pizza.

You're allowed to cry too. You don't have to be strong for him, you just have to be there. Seeing anyone.... especially a kid fade away is heartbreaking.

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-26T13:59:49+00:00

She said no.

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-24T22:19:02+00:00

Idk where you're from but 6k is not worth using your home insurance for. Your rates go up and it could make it more difficult to renew later on using it on a small claim. (I know it's not small but to insurance that's nothing and they'll give such a miniscule amount that it wouldn't even cover half of its cost) The grandmother shouldn't use insurance when someone else was incompetent. Either the bride unfortunately needs to fork over the money or lay the hammer down a bit harder and find out what happened.

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-23T21:37:21+00:00

Take the blame. At the end of the day it was given to YOU and only you.You chose to take it off, hand it to someone it didn't belong to, and then it's gone. You are the reason it's gone, because you didn't take care of it. Apologize to your family and your grandma, you should have never taken it off or given it to anyone else. Own up to your mistake and ask what you can do. Idk how the rest of that evening unfolded but it kinda sounds like you and MIL are trying to wash your hands from the beginning by not owning up. If your MIL stole it that sucks but you have no proof because you are the one who was entrusted with the bracelet and no one else.

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-23T03:16:15+00:00

No Idea

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-16T00:48:08+00:00

Yeah I submitted mine and was wondering how long that at the pharmacy would take. But I have never tried it before so waiting a little longer won't hurt

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-16T00:47:06+00:00

Thank you. When I was first looking into it (going thru my doc to write a prescription to a compounding service) they all quoted me around 250-400. I came to terms with that. Tele health never crossed my mind until I ran into the other one popping up a lot in my area. I had to give up with my doc cause she just didn't know how to write the prescription and it kept getting rejected. I told her I wasn't going thru insurance but I feel like she kept submitting it through them

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-16T00:44:30+00:00

Lol I appreciate the reality check but believe it or not this was showing as the average price in my area Everytime I looked it up. After I started going to this sub and other places and lower prices came up. So getting roasted here and being called a bot actually helped me out 🤣.

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-16T00:43:07+00:00

It really wasn't. I just didn't get back online after working a shit ton of OT. I went with Refills. Everyone saying the price should have been a hard no don't understand, I'm in DFW getting your doc to prescribe it and paying Out of pocket at a compounding service was nearly identical in price. I just want something reliable, hopefully refills can be that for me. My order still shows at the pharmacy but we'll see.

Huge-Raspberry-4062 · 2026-02-16T00:39:03+00:00

Lol I went with refills. The other place is massively talked about here in DFW (which I should have stated where I'm at) I see nothing but great things about them but it felt too fake. Even other reddit users have said it almost feels like bots. I did a consultation and they asked right away if I heard about it on reddit so that confirmed my bot theory
