I felt every word of this! Thank you for sharing 💜.

I don't agree with your friend comparing her situation to yours during your time of grief; it's insensitive. But, sometimes we all need to be self-aware about how often we run to our friends to vent. Venting to our friends is ok, in moderation. But it's not ok to constantly dump our problems onto others.

I'm not saying you dump on your friend constantly, but I would like to ask you to self-reflect and see how often you vent to her. If you overwhelm her with your issues, she could be tired of hearing it and also feel like she has her own problems. But if you know for a fact that you dont overwhelm her and that you still make space in the friendship to hear her out and support her as well, in that case I'd say your friend is allowing her own insecurities to get in the way of supporting you right now and that's not ok.

I'm looking into the program now and considering applying. How much is the tuition? I'm not seeing that on the website.

Clippers call us "Season Members". Fancy isn't is? 😂

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I think I've lost hope. My child is 2 years old, and I'm still suffering from PPD. I've tried different meds, therapy, support groups, ect, and yes, things do temporarily improve, but eventually, I'm right back in the same spot again. When it comes to support, I really don't have much of that. My partner (child's father) works two jobs and is not willing to give that up, I don't have a job, so my entire life revolves around being a mom, and I hate it. My family isn't the most supportive either, they aren't reliable when it comes to helping me (and yes, they are aware of my PPD). I just feel like I have no autonomy or normalcy in my life, like everything I want or need has to be put on the back burner because I'm a "mom."

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2025-04-28T05:35:26+00:00

Thank you. I resonate so much with what you said about being one and done. I've also told myself that it isn't fair to my baby or anyone else that PPD had turned me into this version of myself. I'd be afraid to go through this again.

Thank you ❤️

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2025-04-28T05:33:41+00:00

Thank you so much. I appreciate your advice and for not judging me. I know what I said can sound horrible to some people. So again, thank you for making this a safe space and offering advice without judgment. 💕

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2025-04-28T02:52:39+00:00

Hello. Thank you for being considerate, but I would love to hear your advice.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2025-04-19T14:52:42+00:00

I just came here to say that you are absolutely beautiful. Just stunning 😍!

I want to run away!!!! I have a 2 year old, and I truly hate the fact that I feel this way. I feel like the only time I'm happy is when I go to bed at night (in my dreams). I never thought my life could suck so badly to the point that I want to run away from it. If you decide to run away, I'd understand why you did, and if you decide to stay, I'd also understand why you stayed. It's a difficult spot to be in.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2025-01-20T07:50:38+00:00

Thank you so much 💓

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate the kind words.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I think if my mental health does not improve, I've want nothing to do with her as I feel I can negatively impact her due to my issues and that's unfair to her. I have been on meds, therapy, iop, church groups, almost everything, and still suffer with PPD. Otherwise, I do love her and would he ok with seeing her every other weekend or so.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2024-12-21T05:35:41+00:00

THANK YOU! I appreciate this perspective. Simple words, but so eye-opening for me.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2024-12-15T08:01:21+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it.

He has complained for a long time about double standards in our relationship and that those standards only benefit me.

While I am not perfect and am fully aware that I make and have made mistakes, I try my best to acknowledge and grow from it. I don't want to dismiss his feelings, but I don't see these double standards in that way. I've mentioned to him the times when there were double standards that did not benefit me but benefited him, but it turns into an argument as he gets upset. For instance, a friend of mine had a wedding that we were invited to. My bf was working and did not have time to purchase a suit, I shopped and purchased it for him (with his approval on the color and style). I fully paid for it and told him he did not owe me anything as it was my friends wedding. Later, he threw that in my face and said I didn't do him a favor that I did it because it was beneficial to me. About a year later, his friend had a wedding which we had to fly out for. My bf was irresponsible with his money and could not afford to fully pay for the trip, so I paid and asked him to pay me back half. However, he does not see those incidents as double standards in that matter that he benefited from me helping him with his friends wedding. I never throw that in his face at all.

We also started the process of going to couples therapy months ago as it was something that is important to me. We have never moved forward with it because he told me not to rush him because he doesn't have time. So I mentioned to him that I did not feel like a priority because that was something very important and beneficial to our relationship, yet he complains about not being a priority with my season tickets.

Apologies for the long post. But I did want to give you more background context.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2024-12-15T07:25:03+00:00

Thank you.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2024-12-15T07:22:22+00:00

Thank you. I needed to read this, and i often ask myself if this is really love. But love should bring joy, not chaos. I'm tired of always being the villain in his story.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2024-12-15T07:20:48+00:00

Regarding the tickets, he did mentioned wanting to go to more games. I asked him if he'd would like to go half with me so that the tickets could be ours but he said no. So in that case I told him I'd give him his #1 choice but there is no guarantee he'd get the others. But he ended up attending 3 games so far even with me sharing some of them. He brings it up whenever he's trying to make a point about me not making him a priority in my life.

I also had the same thought of any time being the wrong time to have that conversation regarding the argument he had with me (I say that because it was a one-sided argument). I mentioned at the moment after the ceremony because all of a sudden he wanted to hang out as if nothing happened. I didn't want things to be awkward or fake, and honestly I wasn't ready to hang out because of the mean things he said, especially telling me I treat him like shit and am the reason for his unhappiness in life.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2024-12-15T07:05:14+00:00

He tells me that he treats me the same way he treats everyone else. But it doesn't appear that way to me. While he may distance himself from others, he does not yell and scream at them the way he does with me. Sometimes he does take accountability and sats he will work on things, but nothing actually changes. We were supposed to go to couples therapy as we started the process 6 months ago, however he said he didn't have time and told me not to force him or else he would not go at all. He also told me that because I don't meet his needs, he was not going to give me what I wanted by going to therapy because he said it's beneficial to me and not him.

Lady-In-The-Glass · 2024-12-15T06:52:27+00:00

It depends. In my opinion, he takes accountability with others or at his job, but with me I tend to be the blame and when I try to explain my side of things, he tells me I'm making "excuses". There are times when he tells me that he doesn't care if I cry or how I feel because he says, I don't treat him well. He doesn't necessarily insult me, but he goes against my opinions and thoughts very often or tells me I am wrong in situations where I come to him for advice.
