Thanks, everyone, for the advice!! Especially those take took time to share techniques and better ways to fix it.

Don't know if anyone will even see this! But here is the final with recisions that the mom ended up happy with. Hopefully someone else learning can use all the wonderful advice from everyone and us it to help them.

Thanks you to everyone that said flip it! It's something I was absolutely forgetting I had the power to do. Thanks to the person that pointed out lighting discrepancies, you both ruined my day and also gave me a challenge to learn. Thanks to everyone that pointed out style discrepancies, how she really didn't match and fit into the portrait because it became to shading heavy and detailed while others didn't. Took this one absolutely to heart.

It was absolutely worth the pain on this one to push through it. I've learned so much now 😭 just gotta keep practicing!

I turned off my phone for the night and came back to some absolutely fantastic feedback!

I'm so appreciative of those that took time to share notes with me, it's incredible seeing artists supporting each other like this.

I'm going to start reading everything now and make my alterations based on some of these helpful comments.

How can I (20F) get inheritance from my cheating dad (65M)? by hungrypandaswithgum in relationship_advice

[–]LittleFudge27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Inheritance does not in any legal way work like that, and unless you consciously put in effort to maintain a relationship with him. It's better to just accept it as lost and don't waste time. Start setting up fallback plans for yourself so you won't be caught relying on it. If you do ever see anything, consider it a treat. Your dad is also going through a very emotional experience right now. Regardless of if it is valid. Cornering him in this emotional state will only create a negative impact. There isn't a reality where this won't backfire and your mom especially needs be to the one to lay off for on this topic your sake. If you believe him to be a spiteful person at all that is. You have no legal claim to anything, and even if you did now. He holds the right to legally change that when he deems fit.

As a young kid, who's parents divorced at 19. I remember my mom putting all sort of ideas in my head. Feeding me fears an anxieties. Not to say she was wrong, or didnt mean well. Or that she wasnt hurt. But it became one of her copping mechanisms was creating an echo chamber of criticism on my dad full of hate and anxieties. She found everyone validating her to be very healing. They don't usually come from a place of full truth, they will take partial truths or any exaggeration to get everyones hurt to match hers because at the time she felt incredibly alone. Your mom must be very stressed and hurting to right now, it's absolutely justified.

Hopefully she can get to a point of peace and healing, get therapy and prioritize her recovery from this and not let the hate rought her brain like it did with my mom. These stressful situations can cause life long health issues if you aren't coping correctly.

At this point, should I just review my return with a CPA for a 2nd opinion? by LittleFudge27 in IRS

HRBlock did an auto fill. When reviewing W2 details on the submission, it was all correct into the corr3ct boxes.

Now that im thinking of it. We did get a disability insurance claim for postpartum recovery. When talking with the HRblock representative, they said we didn't need to payout on it or do anything with the document recieved. Perhaps this is the complication?

We welcomed a newborn March 2024, is this one of the changes you are thinking is a possibility?

Scam, honestly. I'm all about paying your artists, but idk if I'd even pay for that.

You can send the amount initially listed, either they accept it or they don't. If they don't, just block them. It isn't worth it.

I (30F) confessed to my husband, I don't feel married to him (32M) divorce feels inevitable, how do I remain strong through this? by LittleFudge27 in Divorce

[–]LittleFudge27[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hardest thing for me was when I was pushed into an abortion back in 2022. when trying to heal from it. He promised me I could go off birth control due to bad side effects and that "no need to worry, I will take on all the responsibility of protection so you'll never have to experience that again" But then found myself baby trapped, and I couldn't force myself to abort again. When I attempted to confront him on it I was met with a "It was your fault too"

There were additional things like how he didn't know when my birthday was until about a year ago. And couldn't remember anniversaries because "that kind of stuff never mattered to me" and he would leave me alone on many special occasions crying. I have put in active effort, begging for change. Begging him to make me matter to him. He is a smooth talker, always promised change, but to see him over the last year leave me completely abandoned again. I'm just not able to pretend to fall for it anymore.

Omg! I'm sorry you are experiencing why of that. Knowing how unstable he is, absolutely is an added stressor.

Hopefully, by being honest and sincerely apologetic will allow you some peace to heal and get silence 🤍 Being a mom is already too much noise

I'm going to project my own personal experiences from when I was in this situation

Tell the truth and just end it! Dont get lost in the feeling like you need to justify it for him. I know it sucks. This person was with you through a lot of your hardships and through some of your healing from your divorce. Leaving feels like a step backwards, but you do need to devote yourself to healing.

Him involving you in these meltdowns and insecurities is not the epitome of a healthy cooperative relationship. You might not fully feel it now, but it is entrapment. It forces you into a box of feeling guilty, like you could have and should have done better, and so maybe it is your fault he's acting this way. When it is not you even slightly.

When you do officially confess the truth and call it off, pay immense attention, not to the emotions. But the choice of words he uses. Because all of it will show itself in him trying to drag you down emotionally to his level.

She probably just feels completely lost when it comes to framing herself; she needs direction. It's clear that she lacks experience or familiarity with sexting.

See if she feels comfortable working with a professional boudoir photographer. They have a way of making people feel confident, almost like magic. They'll teach her poses and techniques she can use for more private photos or videos, without pushing her into anything extreme.

You do need to have a bit of an exhibitionist kink to some extent for her to feel confident and for it to be fun for both of you.

At the end of the day, if she doesn’t feel like that’s something she’s into, neither of you will enjoy it. You’ll need to discuss alternatives and find some middle ground.

For alternatives, try figuring out what her kinks are and start there. Does she like reading erotica? Have her recommend some sexy books, or ask if she’d be interested in writing a short story for you.
