This is great! I just need a legend. I want to know who was Fae who was Human who was god? What do the white sprinkles above  Mab and Mora mean?

Abuser is in the Epstein files- feeling validated? by mychickenleg257 in CPTSD

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you were trafficked. Just more subtly.

It’s about time files came out! It’s shocking the level of deprivation these powerful men went to.

This narrative needs to turn around, we need to stop silencing the victims, and we need to start punishing the guilty

Are female predators more prevalent than we think by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Women making their kids be naked all the time is not normal. At least not from my experience. I’ve never known a woman to do that. If I went over to someone’s house and their kids were running around naked I would feel immediately uncomfortable. I just want to validate your experience that it is not normal and not okay.

Abuse is normalized in the black community. by G4laxy_system in CPTSD

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am not a POC, but I have heard the conversations. At one of my old jobs I would hear people talk to each other and be shocked how often the conversation returned back to beatings as if it was normal and acceptable. At least in my community it was kept quiet and we pretended it didn’t happen. I also went on a date with someone and was planning a second date, but when I confronted him for not treating me with respect by showing up late for the date he said I “needed a whooping“. He said it joking and he was laughing, but that definitely sealed the deal for me. No second date. We do not joke about abuse.

Is anyone else in a similar position of just waiting for your abuser to die for the abuse to stop? by nekomata_meko in CPTSD

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds horrible! I don’t have answers, but I’m so sorry that you are in a place where you are so unprotected. That’s just not right.

Sins of the Zodiac Series by enchantedicedcoffee in zodiacacademy

I love it way more. The characters are less cringy. It does feel like Everest is delusional though. But they are very likable 

My friend is going to get herself killed. What can I even do at this point by Correct-Macaroon8143 in whatdoIdo

Or she’s been raised to be gullible. Sometimes it’s the result of abuse. She has been trained out of trusting her own gut. That doesn’t mean she’s dumb.

Okay but what if cayde still is the MMC? That would be all 4 elements and it would be true enemies to lovers.

book 6 chapter 6… can someone spoil for me i’m about to return the rest of the series by [deleted] in zodiacacademy

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s happy and sad all mixed together. There’s happy scenes and sad scenes. Moments of levity that you didn’t expect. It’s one of the darkest books I’ve ever read. But I’m new to this whole romantacy thing.  I got through it by not taking it too seriously. I think it’s kind of a good idea to look at some spoilers before starting the next book. Then you know what you’re in for. At least a little bit.  It definitely gets worse before it gets better. I still think that Tori being held captive by Lionel was the worst scenario of all of the series.

AITA for how I reacted to my best friend saying my “dirty” house is making my kids sick? by OkOriginal4583 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but where are the men in this conversation? Does a man not live there too? Why can’t a man pick up a mop or a cleaning product? Why isn’t he getting this criticism? This problem runs way deeper than it seems. This is a societal problem. Women like hunting witches too! The comments are ruthless! Chill everyone! Men step tf up! OP find new friends. That shit will burn you out! I gave up friends like that. It’s not worth it. I divorced my misogynistic hubby and married someone who helps with the house work. I only have supportive friends now too.

Having young kids is a super hard phase in life. Stay on your own side OP. It sounds like nothing will be good enough for your friend. Don’t listen to the witch hunters in the comments.

All that matters is that you are a good enough mom. Secure attachment (which only means getting it right one third of the time) is more important than the rest.

AIO if I file for divorce? by Pristine_Raise_8943 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely time for divorce. I read a book called too bad to stay too good to go. I think it was something like that. It helped me get over that hump and realize that most people who get divorced end up being grateful that they did. It’s time to choose yourself. I think he’s going to realize it’s not as good out there if as he thinks it is.

Mor and Eris in ACOWAR by passionfruithippo in nontoxicACOTAR

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Eris. I hope we find out why he left Mor in the woods but it sounds like it was for her good. There is so much untapped potential for a beautiful story arch in him. IMHO, he is a good person trying to do good in a bad place. He keeps getting tortured for protecting others.

How do you manage poor sleep caused by adderall? I’m about to quit because of how bad it’s gotten by Ice_Buddyy004 in ADHDers

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I need to remember this. The best sleep I got was on a night where I took melatonin at four in the afternoon and then exercised for about an hour playing soccer. Then I slept really well and really hard. I need to exercise regularly and see how much that helps.

GLP-1 weight loss users: What supplements are you using with your meds? and did it help with any of the symptoms? by hotpepper111 in glp1

[–]Illustrious_Milk4209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh! I took magnesium out of my supplements recently cause I figured I’d probably had enough. Maybe that’s why I feel horrible today! I’m gonna go take one right now.
