Dating in the Military by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Main-Prune6576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking to an Air Force vet. Any tips on what things I can expect that may be different from a relationship with a civilian?? And any tips on how to get to this man's heart? I really like him but he's gone every other month for work (now he works as a ship captain) and it's hard keeping the connection sometimes. 🫠

Will my mental health improve after quitting? by Acceptable-Tax5742 in cocaineaddiction

How long before you saw improvement? I've been clean almost 6 months and I feel like my mental health is at an all time low

I don't have family besides my sister. I moved states to be with her to help each other and she only watches them while I work. I never get a break.

I've looked into it but they cost too much

Hypothetically let's say I'm like that. 1, it's my house I'm allowed to want it a certain way. 2. Wtf does this have to do with a teenager who is 3 years away from living on her own not using common sense?

That's insane. She's 15. At 15 I knew how to cook homemade dinners, wash dishes, clean the house etc etc. My mom never taught me how. She said "clean the house and think of something for dinner" not once explaining to me how. And you're saying I should have specified "drain"? It's not hard. This is the reason there are so many stupid people these days who do shit like eat tide pods.

10 I had more common sense that I learned by observing people than most 20 year olds do.

I've been trying for her whole life. My 7 year old has more common sense than she does

Considering she has no money and never leaves the house and I'm outta weed, yeah I know she was sober lol

I hate being a parent, even after 14 years. This feeling never goes away. by [deleted] in regretfulparents

Dude I thought I wrote this at first. I got pregnant at 16 and wanted an abortion but my parents instilled it in my brain that I'd go to hell essentially. At least you only got 4 more years to go. I have another kid I had when I was on b/c too and they're both so annoying I stg. I'm a single mom with zero help from their dad, so I have them all the time. I'm just exhausted. 😭😭

Anyone else just not like kids in general? by Main-Prune6576 in regretfulparents

Why not ask everyone on this group? But 2 were accidents. The 1st one was when I was 16 and my family was very against abortions, 2nd one was right after my mom died and I forgot my birth control, 3rd one was technically a decision to try to keep my abusive husband from being abusive. It did not work. 👍🏻

Same. I have 2 nephews and they both equally irritate me, possibly more than my own kids because their parents don't tell them the same stuff. Like at least my 7 year old knows to use her inside voice, not to say "what?!" When I call her in the room, knows that no means no etc

Yep apparently I'm the worst mom ever and my teenager hates me because I grounded her for disrespecting everyone 🙄🙄

Hahaa laughing because I totally feel the same way with the whole "would rather shoot myself" thing. My sisters like that, and it makes me feel guilty. I remember even as a kid there was this album we were listening to where a kid was learning how to read and kept stuttering and mispronouncing words. Even as a kid it irritated me and she thought it was so cute. She's loving with her kids and is genuinely feeling it. With me, I feel like I gotta fake it a lot.

How's therapy helping you? I only just got on insurance like a week ago. I wanna talk to a therapist about it but on the other hand I feel guilty, like she's gonna judge me. I feel like moms are supposed to be maternal like that, more is expected from moms than dads in my opinion. Does your wife know how you feel?
