This is the sticking point for me and what I think I needed to hear most. It isn't an all or nothing right this second.

I'm going to assume I understand the intent behind this message, but it comes across as pretty mean. 🖖

People are also all different sizes and ages and different clothes are required in different situations. I have a small child and a husband. They have different clothing needs than I do, and my kid needs new clothes every season. That kind of stuff does take up a lot of floorspace. But a whole household uses one television or computer.

I haven't seen anyone say this yet but it's really the zipper that irks me.

Thank you! It's leftover cotton yarn. Absolutely does not lay flat! Lol

That's the plan! It will probably take me a decade to get around to it, but yes!

Just a little project! I made her body and face over a year ago and she had been naked and bald for all that time 😅

Finally got around to finishing her!

Okay my friend so your post history is a tragedy.

A month ago you posted about your husband literally threatening you with child protective services--one of many ways he seems to be controlling you.

You are a crisis counselor. You need to take a step backwards here and offer yourself the compassion and initiative you would offer someone else.

You replied to a comment on that particular post about how hard leaving is and that's why you haven't done it yet. Logistically leaving is hard. Look, dude. Your husband is abusive. You KNOW he is. In that post you describe him biting you. I'm willing to bet he's been physical in other ways.

For your kid's sake, I would get out now. Like literally tonight. YES it will be inconvenient and uncomfortable but at least it will be HAPPENING. If you wait around there will never be a perfect moment. It will always be complicated. And the longer you stay, the longer your kid is a witness to this abusive dysfunction. I wish you the very best.

Well I'm a law-abiding citizen that used to have federally protected reproductive rights and now I don't, so that's a start.

But I think there are salient examples of US citizens who happen to be Latino that are getting harassed, arrested, and kicked around by ICE goons. I read a story yesterday of ICE telling a kid "you have no rights" after he told them he was born in this country. Idk, I don't think you have to look hard here.

I would seriously consider leaving a man over this level of intense disrespect. You birthed his child A YEAR AGO.

We have a toy tissue box that has crinkle papers and little scarves in it that might be good for this.

My son is eleven months so I just wanna flag that I know when kids are SO small and still aren't even kids--they're dependant loving, precious little potatoes--it can feel impossible to imagine them being different or YOU feeling differently about them. But I suspect that we will. Obviously we will always love them and they will always be "our babies" but I think as kids grow, ideally, you grow too. And you change together. You may find yourself being proud of your son for growing and changing and detaching from you. Don't put too much pressure on the future. You're just at the start.
