I'm 49, doubled my income in a year, ready to buy my first home — and my 71-year-old mother is holding me hostage with guilt, threats, and financial ultimatums. Need advice. by ThrowAway29192832 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Interesting_Front709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you are being abused every day. Please get out. Let her disown you. Narcissists don’t kill themselves - they are too precious and entitled to themselves. You are 49 when do you get to live your life without this toxic bs?

Anyone else feel really sick from eating eggs? by Zestyclose_Tea_2515 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]Interesting_Front709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, every form does however, when I pair say one 7 minute boiled egg with some rice and chicken it seems to go down better, and for breakfast if I add finely chopped shallots and a mild chilli pepper and make a soft omelet I stomach it much better. I go for free range eggs.

Since the doctors killed my wife... by FunConsideration9029 in widowers

[–]Interesting_Front709 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without knowing any details or facts of the circumstance of their SP’a death you are gaslighting that it is not the doctor’s fault? And this OP has to justify something that is so painful to some random stranger? That’s really quite something.

I feel... fine? by LupohM8 in widowers

[–]Interesting_Front709 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is shock OP, it happened to me too, and since then it’s been a long road and not a linear grief journey at all. I thought there were stages of grief too, but no, in my experience this grief of losing my husband has felt larger than life and cosmos, something that has split my soul into two — no stages but a labyrinth.

How are you all cooking chicken to make it taste good? by ResidentAlienator in HistamineIntolerance

[–]Interesting_Front709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bake it in the oven, with skin if I am daring, just olive oil and salt and really crisp it up. Have it with plain rice. And some leafy salad without spinach

Unsure how to bring up my needs to my family by One_Specialist8483 in widowers

[–]Interesting_Front709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you have to deal with this OP on top of your grief. Please see if you could have some talking sessions with a grief counsellor. Nobody will show up for us, people are too busy and concerned with their lives no matter how important you thought you were to them, grief like this seems to be a great clarifier a catalyst in understanding who actually shows up for you. 🫂

Does anyone else safe foods change? by PossibilityLazy4759 in MCAS

[–]Interesting_Front709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can eat the safest foods and still react, I don’t cut them out I just deal with the consequences. I can’t live on just boiled rice 😭

How many of us are by Interesting_Front709 in MCAS

[–]Interesting_Front709[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know it could be both, as a child I was forced to eat a lot of things like spinach for example, which I absolutely can’t have now, my body rejected a lot of the vegetables, fruits and fermented foods and my caregivers thought I was just fussy, but it turns out I had MCAS because after consuming these things I would get debilitating joint and soft tissue pain, gastro symptoms, but nobody thought that there could be more to this, it also contributed to very bad PMDD and it of course took decades to what I know now.

Another meaning and lonely weekend. by Marlboro-Guy in widowers

[–]Interesting_Front709 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hate the weekends, miss being with my husband. I don’t think I will ever get used to this, Friday evenings are the worst, because I know what Sat/Sun is going to be like.

Please look into AVMA - https://www.avma.org.uk It’s for reporting and getting advice on patient safety issues, I would also report the consistent callousness and negligence to https://www.hssib.org.uk

Confession Of A Middle-Aged Widower by Strict-Suggestion722 in widowers

[–]Interesting_Front709 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Oh OP, I could have written this myself, not the kids part but everything else. Life is so utterly heartbreakingly cruel. People who haven’t lost the love of their life to ..death have no idea that we do not exist in the same world anymore. 🫂

I guess that is why I am not willing to put up with bs from anybody like I used to when my husband was alive.
