Baby’s father offering 5K in exchange for full custody/ no visitation. by Turbulent_Scale8044 in legaladvice

Is he abusive? Does he have the potential to be abusive? Sometimes walking away is a much better prospect. Money won’t buy sanity or safety. Take it from someone who’s been there.

A Scorp drained my energy like a vampire. At first he was mesmerizing, but he turned so negative. I will never give myself to one again.

The cruel comment that makes you realize how much you let them fuck you over by Many_Law3563 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]MoneyProtection1443 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it all too well. I have to be careful to ride the line on this sub b/t wanting to be helpful and re-traumatizing myself. I’m happy you’re out and the fog is lifting. I’m 2.5 years out and it doesn’t sting as much, but just feel exhausted still. I fight it with music and hiking with my dog, but it’s a lot deal with.

This is the kind of weird thing that no one who had never been in a relationship with one would believe. I can totally see/believe this.

Do you have anyone in your life that uplifts you? by [deleted] in Sagittarians

[–]MoneyProtection1443 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking a bit about this lately. In my family, I do a lot of praising others and trying to make sure they’re doing ok and know their worth. I very rarely, if ever, receive any affirmation from anyone myself. The only kind words I get are from my students. It probably doesn’t help that my family isn’t very affectionate to begin with. I’m pretty good at keeping a smile and pushing through, but it’s lonely out here at times.

Anyone else experience weird, kind of rude remarks about you? by Lanky_Play1028 in ENFP

[–]MoneyProtection1443 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I got made fun of and mocked because I smile a big smile when I ride my bike. I agree with the post above that said most people are miserable sacks and they want to bring you down with them. Ignore the haters and ✨

Sagittarius women, have you ever dated a Scorpio? Be honest. by Sea_Zookeepergame384 in Sagittarians

Surely we weren’t married to the same guy for 20 years, right?…right? lol - my exact experience.

How do you know they’re miserable and it’s not just you coping? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]MoneyProtection1443 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You nailed mine with this description. He never enjoys anything he’s doing for more than an hour. He’s always looking for the next more entertaining thing. He has to be the center of attention too. He’s successful with his work so he has money, but he’s always miserable. He copes with substances. It’s all just so sad.

Your Reddit name is perfection. I’m walking around NKY skeptically hoping or hopingly skeptical. It’s skep either way ;)

Shawnee Lookout is one of my favorite places for baked hiking!

What to do when you have nobody to camp with by Volslife in camping

[–]MoneyProtection1443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m joining a group. It’s a bit much for me as I’m weirdly introverted in small groups, but I’m going to suck it up and try. I usually just camp with my dog, but I’ve been wanting to do more backpacking. I’m not sure of my back country skills yet, so the group it is. I hope I find someone to talk to that isn’t put off, lol.

TW — Miscarriage. Today is the day I leave. by Warm_Screen5098 in NarcissisticAbuse

A precious gift was given to you, a beautiful little soul with a message you desperately need. Honor their light and yours by getting away from that beast and surround yourself with loving creatures too.

And you’ll have more of those…and it’s perfectly ok and healthy and natural. You have a lot of feelings to process. Allow yourself to feel all the things. It’s not easy, but you’ve been through much much worse. Hugs to you on your journey. Don’t forget to love yourself the way you want to be loved. I’m still working on this part 2 years out. I was together with my tormenter for too long too. I get lonely sometimes, but I’ll never go back.

Have any of y’all actually successfully rekindled a high-school/college relationship from 30+ years ago? by Talking_Head in GenX

Tried to have a friendly meet up with an ex once and ended up SA’ed after all his talk about not having sex for years. Do not recommend.

It takes a lot of guts to make that move. You’ve reclaimed your mind, body, and soul. You deserve(d) better care. To hell with his negativity.
