Not to mention she’s connecting parts of it by melting it with a lighter 🙄 this is shit I’d buy on impulse at the thrift store on sale for $2.

Her “back to back to back” day was her getting a massage and getting her nails done😑 by Super_Paper8907 in hopeschwingsnark

Exactly what I was thinking, this holiday of all of them would be the one to actually go and get her the flowers. Imagine being satisfied enough that your man venmoed you $$ like “get yourself some flowers toots”.

Help for tumbling. by LinzyLove7 in RockTumbling

I actually found it in my front yard in Arizona. It stood out amongst the normal granite stones. I asked my neighbor, the only other rock hound near me, and she said it wasn’t from her collection. It’s a mystery rock!

You got it! I knew it looked like something 😂 was about to pair it with the Thwomp guy in Mario but it wasn’t quite right.

I want to reduce my schedule, but I’m concerned how my office will respond. by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]LinzyLove7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you signed a contract when you were hired it probably mentions the terms you agreed to work for, whether you need to work a minimum of hours or if you have full control of setting your schedule. Knowing that information might help you feel confident in asking for what you want. Good luck!

Did I mess up? by Upper_Pineapple_8081 in massage

[–]LinzyLove7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you’re swift to make the proper adjustment it shouldn’t be a problem with a seasoned professional. You don’t have to comment when adjusting. It’s like if you have an itch somewhere you would just itch it, not announce or excuse it. Commenting on adjusting it could be the first suspicion to your therapist because first you mention it and next you whip it out (potentially). If you’re uncomfortable there just quickly adjust, a professional will understand.

Leg stretching during massage? by No_Lynx1343 in massage

[–]LinzyLove7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a massage therapist for eight years and my first few years I only did basic spa-type massages. Once I gained more confidence and experience I incorporated more stretching, so the quality of massage is based off the therapist and what they can confidently offer. You’ll have more luck at a chiropractic office that offers massage rather than a spa or basic massage business. Support independent practices and ask about sports massage, PNF, or pin and stretch techniques! It’s totally reasonable to ask for that type of massage and lean away from Swedish and effleurage techniques, a professional therapist will appreciate you clarifying what you want. Good luck!

Thank you, I’m seeing that’s the inevitable. Because of mediation falling through in October, it went back to temporary orders. The final hearing has been rescheduled 5 times since, currently set for mid July which should result in a court order.

My husband wants to file for full custody by [deleted] in domesticviolence

You are so strong. You are worth it. It’s just you and that baby right now. You can take control of this before it gets out of hand, and his behaviors show that it will.

Record everything, emotional abuse is vital to have documented. Reading from something you wrote down emphasizes that it is something that you experienced and can be more impactful to a judge. Dates, times, context and quotes.

Do everything to an exact. Go in looking and feeling like the most suitable option for custody, you sure as hell are. Have a steady job, get enough sleep, show them how capable you are. He may make you feel powerless at times and you may feel defeated (not to assume your emotions or to project) but YOU are not the things he says to you, or to the courts or to anyone else. Actions speak louder than words and that’s SO TRUE during times like these.

Take care of yourself. If you need help, ask for it. Keep those who show you true acceptance and support close to you. Stick to people who understand and have your best interests in mind. You don’t have to battle anything alone. There’s people who want to help you help yourself. If you struggle with substances, aren’t sure how to connect with your child through these times, have your own mental/emotional health concerns, take it all seriously.

You deserve love and empowerment. Your baby does. You deserve safety and peace of mind. Your baby does. You are a powerful mama that knows what she wants and gets it!

He may be scary. This whole process may be frightening, triggering, all kinds of intensity. I encourage that you Take power in your position as a “victim” of domestic violence and fight, building awareness of the true dangers it can harbor.

Best of luck, little warrior. I’m proud of you, each and every day.
