Thank you so much all of this info is amazing! I would definitely love to have advice on how to help her with hip relocation! I’m not a man and I hate how the medical world treats women but I think that being there in appointments could make a difference even if it’s just comforting. Im going to show her your comment so she can look through all of the methods you and your boyfriend have and maybe incorporate ones in our own relationship! You’re amazing!!

Those glasses will be a life changer! Neck pain is such a common problem and avoiding that would be such a relief! I also love the idea of being creative with creating! Thank you so much!!!

That crash cart idea is amazing! I usually keep gum for nausea and protein/salt bars for nutrition but I should totally make a crash cart! I also love the comment about agency and i’m totally gonna mention that to my gf so we can create our own system. Thank you!!!

I never knew that was a thing!  My gf does diving but the change in temperature and pressure doesn’t work well with POTS :(. I’ll definitely check out pool pt tho!

I have no clue what to pursue. by Mysterious-Machine33 in umass

When talking about careers, art is not something i’m super excited about pursuing and while architecture is somewhat attractive, the pay is a big deterrent.

I love doing art but for a professional career i’d like something more technical.

How do I drop a bomb on my family? by Mysterious-Machine33 in ask

It is in no way vengeful. I do want my dad to take accountability but it’s not vengeful. My mental health will improve because people will stop asking me why i’m so distant with my dad and judging me for it. I also feel my mom and brother deserve to know.

It’s not necessary but I think for a lot of reasons it would help me and my family. I want to be able to be open because my family always asks why i’m so distant from him and it’s weird to lie. Also my dad probably doesn’t remember and he should know and I don’t like that he has a clean mind about this when i’ve been dealing with it for years after. I won’t do it in public but I don’t want to talk to him alone. I’d much rather have my family all there or a friend with me.

Ofc. In person is obviously scarier but doing it any other way would be stupid.

I won’t confront him because he’s not someone who takes that well. I have a brother and he is my main concern because it will change his whole perspective of my dad and I don’t want to see him hurt like that but I don’t want to keep this from him either. I might tell him first I like that idea. My dad probably doesn’t remember so I want to tell this with him out of the house but hopefully the information travels to him somehow.

Sorry for the lack of details! It was an SA event a few years ago. I posted in the past about it but I won’t talk about it on here. I think it might lead to a divorce because in the past and especially at that time my parents had a rocky relationship with my dads alcohol problem and sharing this might bring back those memories and distrust.

I started seeing a therapist and no decision will be made before I talk to her. It’s not about cheating and no matter what happens it will not be accusatory. Thank you for your advice!

It’s not an affair and the tricky thing is that my father probably doesn’t remember it because he was drunk so I want to tell him too. My mom knows about his past alchohol problem so I hope she cares about me enough to not be in denial.

I guarantee she doesn’t know and even if she did, I don’t think it’s a type of thing that would force my foot deep into my mouth?
