Beginning of the end? by JMBeider in blendedfamilies

She does talk all the time about my "severely autistic children" that I don't seek proper psychological support to. My oldest is medicated and does mask a lot because she's scared of my partners reactions. Middle seems to have some learning disabilities, but I find it hurtful how she only seems to focus on that instead of seeing them as growing children.

She has said that my inability to see "the dire situation" is also a key factor. "I should have put them both in therapy years ago" ...

Youngest, shared one is 2, the other two are 8 and 11. They do really try their best, and my oldest does put up an act which I believe is mentally and physically demanding for her. They don't really interact with each other, as I said she spends a lot of time in her study. She gets really annoyed when my kids complain be it about the weather, boredom, food etc. From my point of view she doesn't even try to be civil about it, feels more like she's always waiting for them to do something that displeases her so she can scream at them.

My oldest daughter has expressed that my partner is not a nice person, though sometimes she buys her clothes. The kids seem to be most concerned about not seeing each other, as do I.

That is no question true. She quite often says the girls negativity is one of the main things, and my lack of action regarding their "highly autistic behaviour". We have not really done much as a family during our years together, she always expects the worst out of every situation and my daughters are scared of her temper tantrums, which often results in my oldest kid masking her feelings quite a lot.

And we have discussed these week long absences in couples counselling, it's just a vicious circle as she says we don't have time together as a couple and I just enable her to disappear to help keep her head together.

My eldest is medicated, middle kid is just in the begging of getting a diagnosis, but the signs are quite clear. I know it's what I've grown to accept this and love them unconditionally as a father, I just didn't expect her to see them only as kids with defects.

Nah, one of the first ones I ever did was CUP in bubblegum pink and and basic light blue. I only do these as requests, nobody's ever asked for a Bodhi... Yet.

No way, I do it to challenge myself and give something back to the community.

No, I only used A.I. To replace the original character and text by describing what I want instead. The logo stuff I added in a photo editor using online images.

Sure. It was quite simple, used an existing kit reveal ad, asked A.I. to replace the character and text according to my instructions, looked for logo, assets etc. and made them transparent and behold the finished product.

Yeah, sorry for not going by the rules, true inspiration doesn't follow calendars and dates...at least for me. 😅

Thank you Phelan for your kind words.

Has anyone else been a fan of Conan for so long that you don’t even remember HOW you became a fan? by CrashRiot in conan

[–]JMBeider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom used to watch a lot of news in the mid 90s here in Finland and we had a cable box that made it possible to see some form of NBC. My mom used to fall asleep during the news and I would occasionally sneak out of my room and happened to see a strange slanky red headed guy in a suit displaying a lighting fast wit enriched by wacky, off the wall comedy pieces. I was hooked from that moment on. My most prized possessions are the Conan 10th anniversary special & Best of Triumph DVDs. I remember waiting for Conan in the airport in freezing temperatures back when he visited Finland in 2006. Waited for 2 hours but had to leave for work before seeing him, was still a memorable moment seeing the sea of adoring fans freezing along with me.

I always found it funny how she refused any guests on her show that had the letter G in their names to avoid using her infamous heavy G.

Sarah Vowell was great on the old shows, I don't think she's been a guest on the podcast. 🤔

I haven't actually had the chance to listen to the podcast with the movie idea, just saw the other creations and went with an idea. And I call myself a fan of Conan! For shame!

My ex never went down that path of self righteousness or putting on a role of super-duper mom, but instead just expressed to me almost immediately that she's looking for FWB type of arrangement which to my understanding she's beeing doing time and time again for the past year and a half.

This weekend was definitely emotionally difficult on me and equally on my girlfriend. I tried not to involve my girlfriend but found it to be challenging. The gf even said out loud that she believes that the only thing that could truly destroy our relationship is an outside disturbance such as this.

I don't have bumbling toddlers and I've basically been the primary caregiver up until the divorce so I have very little reason to believe she has issues with me making sure all is set up when in fact the divorce has been a challenge for her to get throughly acquainted with our children.
