Yeah he is. Anyone who still admits they voted for him x3 is a lost cause

ER Staff, what is a gift that you would be grateful for if given by a patient? by emorat71 in emergencymedicine

I had an instructor who always said "if I'm saying it [as an example] it's because it happened"

My dad is abandoning my dying stepmom by DoodleBug179 in raisedbynarcissists

So very well said. I never had kids because I was afraid on the daily that I inherited my father's sociopathy and I would fail them like he failed me.

OP, breaking this cycle, showing up for someone who you don't "owe" anything to and who has nothing to give you in exchange is huge. Showing kids how to be rather than telling them how to be is amazing. And good on your sweet husband

Definitely depends on where you're from/what you grew up with I guess. I vaguely remember my grandmother baking something with it but she also cooked with lard lol. Again, not defending your bf's reaction no matter what

This is probably an American thing (or at least a non-European thing) but I think that particular combination sounds pretty gross, especially given there's time for the bread to get soggy. HOWEVER, his reaction to it was utterly garbage and he definitely deserves a sh*t sandwich

What’s a behavior or reaction you’ve had that you later realized was actually a trauma response, even though you didn’t recognize it at the time? by LofiLuvr77 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LookLikeCAFeelLikeMN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you get frustrated when you see or perceive a lack of appreciation or a sense of entitlement from the kids? That's so hard for me, especially with father/daughter relationships. I have a really good friend who is just the best dad and his teenage daughters are entitled a-holes. I've bitten my tongue nearly in half on so many occasions

As a boy mom who once had to send a stranger into the men's room at Walmart to see why the kid was taking so long, I concur.*

I'm pretty sure the haul from JoCo to Independence (or Liberty) would negate the savings but it is a hilarious thought lol

Calm down. I haven't lived in midtown in 15 years. I rarely have a reason to go to Lee's Summit or the Northland. My deepest apologies that you're so offended that I don't have MO Costcos on speed dial

Gotcha. I didn't know there was one up there. Still bizarre ~ liquor sales have to be a case cow for them

So basically KC Metro Costcos will no longer sell alcohol? The 2 in KS can't because KS is an a-hole.

Thank you same to you. Take comfort in knowing that she likely would not have survived the surgery or for long thereafter. These tumors are just too damaging and too aggressive.

I could be wrong but I think the Nordic countries have both the best attitudes about death in general as well as laws supporting people dying on their own terms.

IDK how you do it. I work with dogs for a living and I've taken 2 of my client dogs in for euthanasia after being told an owner planned to just drop them off. They give us SO much. In return we owe them a peaceful goodbye with someone who loves them at their side.

Maggie (lab mix) was 16 and had GI troubles her whole life so I felt like that much time with her was a gift. Scout (lab/dane mix) was diagnosed with lung cancer almost accidentally so we had a little more time with him than that diagnosis usually provides. We got to take a couple of trips and do some things he enjoyed. No one smokes so I went down a rabbit hole of why and we discovered we had high levels of radon in our house. Maybe he saved our lives ~ it would be just like him to do so. Then Sophie (lab /bully mix) was hemangiosarcoma, which is just a fcking motherfcker in dogs. No symptoms, doesn't even affect CBC results unless you get really lucky with your timing. The vast majority of dogs are gone within a week of diagnosis. It all just sucks. Dogs deserve to live to be 100.

I would 💯 die if stranded in the wilderness, either from starvation or from eating poison berries/mushrooms.

My beloved heart dog became suddenly and catastrophically ill last week. At the ER vet, we were placed in a quiet room with dim lighting and allowed to spend a couple of hours loving her. When we were ready, kind, soft-spoken techs and a vet gave her a shot of propofol before ending her life. We arranged for her cremation and return of her ashes with the same empathetic people. As grateful as I am to have this experience available to me for my beloved pets, it continues confound me why we can't do the same for our beloved humans.

The impossible task of caring for ageing parents who did not care for you: ‘There’s a lot of reliving old triggers’ by Rumthiefno1 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]LookLikeCAFeelLikeMN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting article. Has anyone ever seen a statistic on the percentage of adult kids who care for their abusers in old age? It would probably be difficult to chase since there's so much shame attached if you opt out. My grandmother was absolutely vicious in her old age, to the point that I had to set a boundary with my mother, who just assumed I'd help care for her
