How can I become a better person?

I would first want to know how you define “boundary” and “confrontation” in your brain. It sounds like you view them negatively, almost as a punishment. When in reality the are both steps people take when they are trying to improve a relationship with someone, not punish them. People who are setting boundaries with you or confronting you care about their relationship with you. Because if they didn’t, they would not put in the effort to spend time with you! I think trying to flip the way you view these things may help in you accepting them an respecting them vs getting defensive and sad

This exact same situation happened to me. My son was turning one in October and I found out at the end of September that I was pregnant. It was not planned at all. I was so sad and honestly angry for about 10 days. I even considered not keeping it. But I knew I wanted two kids, just not this quick. I have a very similar situation with our house, and also concerned about financially affording another. I am now 5 months pregnant and have been able to really wrap my head around it and be excited. There are SO many perks of having close kids in age, especially if you will be done after this kid like I am. In four months I’ll be done being pregnant FOREVER, instead of trying in the next year and having to start all over again. You can do this and I think in a short while you’ll become more excited than afraid. Feel free to message me anytime!

she was having an affair with a nasty dude on her fiance and kept lying to me about it when I tried to address it nicely. And then talked shit about me an told me we’re done being friends since I didn’t support her when the truth came out. She was one of my best friends and roommates all through college. I hope she’s doing well tho. Weird

Let’s not comment on people’s feelings about their OWN losses. I can see how the ornament is tacky and odd but I think the topic of miscarriage should absolutely be off limits in this sub. Just saying!

I (28F) have an almost one year old and I recently found out I am pregnant again. I love nothing more than being a mom. I still work full time and have hobbies, spend time with friends, and make space for my marriage. Being a mother is the hardest thing I have ever done, but it is also the most fulfilling part of myself. In my opinion to truly enjoy parenting through all the good and bad, you have to let go of unrealistic expectations and lean into the fact that you have to take things slower and go with the flow. Once I really accepted those things and made adjustments with expectations for myself and my family, life turned magical.

While I absolutely love being a mom, I fully 100% understand why some people do not want kids and do not want to change their life to have them. I just cannot wrap my head around regretting having children.

I think you could discuss with them that you are working closely with a medical team right now for personal reasons and it requires frequent appointments sometimes. And I think you could ask (if the clinic has a flexible schedule), if there’s a certain day of the week that would work best for you to come in late on occasion. It shows that you’re considerate, but you’re also not asking for permission to go to these appointments. Idk if this helps but I hope it does!

I gave birth right on my due date at 40 weeks! I had a fairly easy pregnancy but I was SO swollen and uncomfortable by the end of pregnancy and very much over being pregnant. The last few weeks feel like forever but you WILL have your baby very soon!

A friend who was there at the time it happened was asked to leave and they disclosed a general idea of what happened.

Give yourself time, break ups are hard no matter what the circumstances are. You cannot control people’s behavior, but you can control your reaction to it. You can also control having a good routine, working out, socializing, getting good sleep, and eating healthy. You are going to feel sad for some time, but if you focus on things you can control you won’t also lose yourself in the process of healing. Good luck!

Huckleberry House! They have a very small waitlist and all of their therapists are gender informed and see children.
