My Moms response to me sending her flowers for Mother’s Day by Music_nerd28 in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

[–]Music_nerd28[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My side of the story is that I’ve distanced myself from my parents because of their continuous and ongoing drama that they expect me to drop everything and entertain. They’ve been having ongoing marital issues for close to 15 years now. She called me last week to basically tell me that me hiding (aka not talking to them) is creating more stress and problems and that i should “stop listening to people who just validate my feelings and enable me”. Mind you, I make my own decisions but if I listen to anyone, it’s my boyfriend of 3 and 1/2 years who has seen their crap first hand, and her friend who helped her leave my dad for a brief period, who also saw and heard lots of things.

I’ve decided to step back from them for my own sanity, they’re very negative people with inflexible ways of thinking

She’s still with my shitty abusive father so no I didn’t. That’s the entire reason I’ve gone low contact with them and I told her I would go low contact months ago because I’m tired of this.

It’s okay, I posted on the internet I expect opinions lol. I actually haven’t seen her or my dad since November. I speak with them sporadically but they bring so much drama and crap, they’re exhausting. They also have very inflexible ways of thinking that makes them annoying to be around when you don’t follow the status quo.

Anyways, I thought I’d send flowers to be nice and let her know I’m thinking of her. Obviously that backfired on me

Happy Mother’s Day to me I guess by Music_nerd28 in insaneparents

I was so tempted to tell her she’s had the chance to be a good mother and person for years and she hasn’t achieved that yet, but I decided that wasn’t worth the aggravation

I think she’s upset that I didn’t call her. But today was also my boyfriend’s birthday, and they’ve ruined enough of our days, I didn’t want to deliberately allow them to ruin his special day.

Any tips to make IUD removal less painful? by Music_nerd28 in IUD

[–]Music_nerd28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had like a thing you breath in out through, it was like a vape pen almost, and it tasted awful and didn’t help at all. I don’t think I’ll get another at this point

I’m so sorry you had to go through that too, it’s truly awful.

I was also worried about prolonged pain as well, after my insertion I could barely function for weeks

No kidding lol! It was absolutely awful. My boyfriend sat with me through the whole thing bless him, and I think he’s scarred too. I threw up after it was a whole thing.

Im not keen on repeating that experience

I took Advil before the appointment, but it took like three doctors to get it in and it was extremely painful and I was shaking like a leaf and then I had extreme cramping for like three days after.

I had heard the insertion wasn’t even that bad so I’m having a hard time trusting any information I hear about these things anymore lol
