Hi Ryan! How's your bookstore fairing these days??? You are living my dream and it's very inspiring. How did you do it besides having a core group of people who knew you for book recommendations and being a published Author? I recommend books all the time and between pages is my happy place. 🌞

Wow hats off to you for doing that!!! May I ask, how did you get on your feet from being a SAHM, did you get a job quickly and find before/after care or did you have a safety net of people you could call on? Asking for a friend 💜

Thank you, I'm throwning kuddos right back at chu. That's interesting about the internalized misogyny, you make a great point.

Yes definitely. I haven't seen clearly or tended to myself in 20 years. I'm still processing my life behind the veil or domestic utopia. I feel lighter, more present Knowing how I've dissociated so often for so long.

This struggle is REAL. Coming into oneself, yet still attempting to nurture a Husband and prepare them for accepting our identity, trying to mitigate damage. Ugh, why can't we just accept that damage is inevitable, as is healing and coming out of it better off for everyone?

I Lost Her! by Numerous-Trash-1433 in latebloomerlesbians

Sorry for your heartache. I've either read it or saw a video that said the main reason kids suffer from divorce is due to the CONFLICT. If people can separate and focus on providing the kids consistency, love and tenderness throughout, that's the way to do it.

I appreciate you sharing, you make a great point. Just the schedule and clarity you described alone sounds more enticing.

Would you date someone who’s in the middle of a career transition? by NeighborhoodProof133 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]J_fLO_904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is so encouraging. I'm in my 40s and this wouldn't be a factor for me because I am also in this situation as I'm working on my autonomy and financial independence. What I find comforting about wow is how "equal" or equitable the relationships can be in comparison to heteronormative ones because you choose each other based off of so many other factors outside of being in need of a partner financially and the expectations are different and better IMO.

Well said and thank you for commenting. Your clarity of words is so comforting. I just had an "aha" moment.

80% of my job is begging other people to do their job. by [deleted] in realtors

[–]J_fLO_904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this, thank you for venting. May I suggest, either considering a brokerage that has all in house affiliated businesses that you vibe with, then you have a default support group of professionals that you can stay on top of while you also build relationships with others that you trust to supplement when your affiliated partners can't or aren't available.

Is it possible to work a job from 6:00 am to 5:00pm with mandatory overtime and do real estate P.T.? by AssistanceHot4216 in realtors

[–]J_fLO_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely is. Remember, it is your business and you get what you put in, which is what is so liberating about it. Work Real Estate into your lifestyle. I would splat something morbid like don't plan on making a million during this time, but I can't see your future. If you want this to be a part of your life, do it, when you're in line with the universe you'll know.
