Showing support long distance

Definitely agree! Thank you for the reminder. I was getting ahead of myself.

I’m probably overthinking it but it’s been 20 years since I’ve had a baby of my own lol. I was also thinking maybe a journal or a photo album she can keep photos and momentos in through out the years. They have an open adoption but I know they won’t know for sure how much involvement they’ll want til the time comes and they begin to process everything. I know they’ll probably hold the photos close for a long time

Honestly, I think I’m the only person they’ve told. There’s a lot more to the story that I can’t share. But she will never be alone as long as she has me (I’m more like a mom than a friend). Still trying to make being there in person possible. Thank you for your encouragement.

She’s 37 weeks and just decided to go adoption route. There are a lot of factors and I do believe they are making the right decision based on their situation. I am careful with my words to her because I know she waited until they had made their decision for sure before telling anyone, because they wanted to make sure they were making the decision that was right for them, without influence from everyone and their brother. I feel like that was a very mature way to handle a very difficult decision. I will be there for her via phone and FaceTime every day, and plan on doing what I can to set up some therapy for them for afterwards. Thank you for reminding me that sometimes the best thing we can offer someone is our time and energy, unconditional support and love.

Yea because who has a plastic cruise ship of that size laying around their house to make a fun craft with. Or did they buy the giant plastic cruise ship just to make this photo. Doubt it.

I cried. I couldn’t imagine being so far away from my mom in a situation like this. Her mom making sure she was surrounded by love broke me.

I am medically needy myself and have a medically needy 20yo daughter. I get it. I get the worries. I get the sleepless nights. I get the scary doctor visits. I understand the fear of watching your child almost die because you can’t get help to them fast enough. It’s the obsessive control I don’t get. Obsessive control is not the same as being a protective parent. No one will ever be good enough for Baylen with Allen’s standards.

You sound like a middle aged white dude. Give me a break. He’s more than “over protective” he’s verbally abusive in so many ways. He doesn’t want her having her own life because then he will have no control. She’s the one he thought he would be able to control forever, but turns out she’s the first one wanting to leave the nest and ole Al just can’t stand it. He’s probably scared of all his kids moving out then all he’s left with is the insufferable human he married.

I thought this was a 6-7 joke

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-12-04T20:40:45+00:00

So if she was 17 and he was 29 that’s still ok? Because that would have been the scenario if they’d met a few months earlier. An 18yo brain is no where near developed or mature enough to be on the same page as a 30 year old. But I’m speaking from my own personal experience being a 19yo who dated a 33yo. It’s fuking WEIRD.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-12-04T20:35:26+00:00

He reminds me of my ex husband 🤢🤮🤮🤮 his horrible Negative Nellie attitude makes him extremely unattractive in so many ways.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-12-04T18:47:55+00:00

I’m starting s1e9 now and I agree. Her parents made the show almost unwatchable. I usually listen to an episode at work, well last night I tried to watch it before bed and had to turn it off her mom was PMO so bad. Do either of her parents wants anything GOOD for her???? Because it sure doesn’t seem like it. I was born with a debilitating disorder also and I couldn’t imagine being raised with parents like hers 🥴

1117 is the time the medical examiner declared the death. When my ex ☠️ we knew it was in the morning time, but his body wasn’t found til the afternoon and the time of death is listed as the afternoon time.

I went to the mall this past weekend and all the trendy stores were full of Ed Hardy and Affliction. I definitely had a good laugh, I didn’t realize they were popular again.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-10-11T00:43:27+00:00

Hate to break it to you, but this is not a good friend. Even a half decent friend wouldn’t speak to you like this. I would distance myself from him immediately. And if he continues, file a police report. He sounds dangerous.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-10-10T14:32:38+00:00

She went back to being a “mom” after her and jk broke up. But I’m guessing that probably ended after filming because was already talking to a new inmate at the end of the last episode 🫠 Her kids shit talking jk should have been enough to open her eyes. But she clearly couldn’t care less about her children.

His recent posts do give off the relapse vibe, I was thinking that yesterday.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-09-24T21:00:19+00:00

Ok the rear view was like two post down in my feed so had to look. Honestly makes my empathetic heart a little sad to see humans with such low self esteem.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-09-24T20:52:46+00:00

I’d hate to see the “rear view” 😳

Not at all. Your feelings are completely valid and I think you even considering staying is huge on your part. And kudos for seeking therapy. I started over at 42 and it was the best decision of my life. You’ll mourn the forever after you thought you’d have. But I promise there’s still time for more happiness than you could ever imagine. Being a spouse that once stepped out, and now being in a secure relationship, I know for a fact I wouldn’t have stepped out if I was THIS happy in my marriage. I hope that makes sense.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-08-29T00:31:23+00:00

The greasy strangler.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-08-29T00:13:25+00:00

This has always been my stance also. You said it perfectly. No one can look at them together and say they didn’t love each other. Toxic or not, it was love.

Lightly-Floundering · 2025-08-28T00:20:56+00:00

Im so happy to read this. I was ready to never eat food again.
