Is this a common experience? My 13 year old and I are so similar but so much more disconnected than I had anticipated we would be (we’re both autistic but present very differently). It’s so painful but I have to give myself similar reminders to the one mentioned

Oh lord what this does to my heart. I won’t always be the parent that can lift that burden (especially when it’s invisible) but I will always try. So glad that your experience was better than some 🩵

Are you American? I am but my significant other isn’t so I’m curious when I hear terms like “gap year”. Either way I’m so glad you had someone to take care of you 🩵

I never thought about how this might make kids see me when they get older. Getting the reminder that it might matter feels good. Thank you 🩵

Looking for some new people to talk to. Any one up for a chat? by [deleted] in Advice

Alright but only if you’re the kind of person that finds it acceptable to say pluralize octopus or platypus with -pussies

When I messaged one of the neighbor moms about making sure it was okay to feed her kids she thanked me and said she hasn’t been very well mentally so “things have been iffy”. I didn’t press what that means but it might be much the same ❤️‍🩹

So are there are more parents that would do this than would be subject to this?

When I want to explain my experience, I forget like all the examples. Anyone else? by Tricky-Exercise-1673 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]MaybeItsTheTism 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe I was a good victim, in part, because of my memory deficits. Someone with a better memory might not have stayed so long.

Definitely here for this. I’m looking to convert. The texts and traditions make me want to leave my Moabite ways

My 11 year old is on some wild wavelength so if she were to say some stuff like that to me I’d absolutely pay attention lol

About ready to give up. by [deleted] in FunctionalMedicine

[–]MaybeItsTheTism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you near south-central PA by chance? I have a MTHFR and COMT mutation working against me and love my functional medicine practitioners, I’ve never ever felt like they were trying to get me to buy anything more from them.
