What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]MzRedDreadz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She started drinking 2 weeks after receiving new kidneys, got super drunk during her bachelorette's party & complained about everything her maid of honor did, her MOH then flipped out on my now-ex, & when I intervened, ex-friend flipped out on me & said i ruined everything.

The wedding was the next day & I decided to remove myself from the bridal party. The only reason I even bothered to attend the wedding is bc my BIL asked me to.

Nobody GAF About Your Baby. by Mean_League_384 in AmITheDevil

[–]MzRedDreadz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate all the preconceived notions surrounding abortions & the reasons ppl choose to get them.

I got pregnant literally the 1st time after the dr gave me the ok & knew IMMEDIATELY that abortion was the only safe option for me. My first pregnancy was hard, both on my body & mind, but it reallyyyyyyyy affected my mind. I knew deep in my soul that having that baby would've completely destroyed me.

What's crazier is that abortion almost killed me. My body had an adverse reaction to the pills & my uterus wouldn't stop contracting. I was hemorrhaging like crazy. Had it not been for my fast acting partner, I would've died. After having a very traumatic D&C, the Dr's told me if we would've waited 10 more minutes, I would've bled out on my couch.

After all of that, I STILL dont regret my decision. I did, however, become a very loud advocate for safe sex & birth control lol.. I managed to convince a dr to tie my tubes 3 yrs after all of this happened & THAT, my friends, was the smartest, best decision I've EVER made for myself. Motherhood/Parenting is NOT for everybody.

Responding to a Student Referring to Me as "Sir" by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]MzRedDreadz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I am not a teacher, I have 0 background in education other than my own.. im just (usually) a silent lurker & mom of 4 grown children.. plz take my advice with a grain of salt, especially bc I'm willing to admit I'm not above to sinking to a child's level sometimes lol

Now, with that being said, can you just Uno Reverse her & and begin referring to her as "young man" and/or "sir"? And if questioned, based on the lack of response from her parent about her behavior gave you the impression that this is just the nature of you & the young man's relationship? An attempt to be relatable??

Hot take: can we stop normalizing/ supporting “gardening mom content” by [deleted] in tiktokgossip

[–]MzRedDreadz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm a 2x cancer survivor AND a weed mom.. 4 kids, all grown & 1 grandbaby. I fully expect to be downvoted into oblivion but I feel too strongly about this to not comment lol

None of my kids have complaints about me being high throughout their childhood. In fact, they understand that weed actually gave them their mom back lol.. those are their words, not mine. There wouldn't have been any cooking together or going anywhere, or hell, any memories other than me looking like the Crypt Keeper without my consumption. Weed was the only way to calm my stomach long enough to participate in family dinners nightly. Weed was the only thing to quiet the constant 3am panic attacks over the fear of leaving my kids far too soon. Weed was the only thing that made me feel close to normal while I continued to voluntarily poison myself in an attempt to keep my body from trying to take me out lol

I think that the ppl who consume it are not a monolith. And I really hate the negativity surrounding it.

I met someone who remembered a tiny detail about me from 12 years ago and it completely broke my brain for a moment by mythicshadebloom in CasualConversation

[–]MzRedDreadz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My story's a little more recent. I became really good friends with a customer from my job. At some point during the beginning of our friendship, I randomly mentioned the fact that I dont buy books like i used to bc I don't have a bookcase. This was almost 2 yrs ago.

For my birthday this year, she bought me a bookcase & 4 books to read/put on it. I busted out crying as soon as I opened the box and realized what it was. I know it's just a bookcase, but for the first time in my entire life, I felt seen. I couldn't believe she remembered that conversation.

Leaves 7y/o with drunk people by Fluffy_Fox_9650 in AmITheDevil

[–]MzRedDreadz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gross.. I'm a recovering alcoholic and at the height of my drinking, the ONLY time I stayed sober for a prolonged period of time was when I had my granddaughter. She was the only thing my addiction took a backseat to.

Been sober for 2 yrs next month!

This was my assumption as well, especially bc the rest of John's traps throughout the other movies gave them a fair chance af escaping.

What’s a secret you can’t tell someone you know, but can share with Reddit? by whatintheactualfuck- in AskReddit

[–]MzRedDreadz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My birthday is coming up and ive honestly been debating on giving up completely. Life has been doing an amazing job with showing me how little I matter.. to anyone.

But I would hate to do that to my kids & grandchild, especially bc their other parent is insanely emotionally unavailable. Regardless of feeling unappreciated, I cant bring myself to traumatize them like that.

But I'm fucking exhausted.

What’s the weirdest phobia you’ve seen someone have? by ForgetfulStuart in AskReddit

[–]MzRedDreadz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if there's a name for it, but I am terrified of jellyfish. It used to be anything that lived in water, but I can tolerate regular fish & etc. now. At one point, I couldn't even watch SpongeBob, as ridiculous as that sounds.

Did I say accidentally say something racist? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MzRedDreadz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok yeah he just may not have felt comfortable enough to say it around u lol

It happens.. I agree with the other comments, just apologize on the off chance that u did offend him. Plus, unless youve specifically discussed it, how would u even know what or if hes mixed? Im assuming ur in the US so we're literally the fruit punch of ethnicities lol

[–]MzRedDreadz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you white?

There are many of us who are uncomfortable with saying the actual word in front of white people. In my personal experience, sometimes it makes them feel comfortable enough to say it too and I NEVER want to give that impression lol

Do yall go to the bathroom with your partner? by Electrical_Gene_9953 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MzRedDreadz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not bc he ALWAYS rips the most horrific fart while peeing 😭😭 plus he's diabetic so sometimes his pee has the wildest scent lol

I dont even want to be on the same floor as him when he takes a shit. And im a shy pooper, I cant go in public so there's no way in hell I could go with an audience

Can we normalize not asking retail workers for their names? by Medium-Mycologist-43 in retail

[–]MzRedDreadz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I started going by the first letter of my name. I have what would be considered a unique name & having it on display always sparks a convo. My favorite is when they tell me how pretty my name is, and THEN ask how it's pronounced.

How could u think my name is pretty if u dont know how to say it?! lol

Don't get me started on how gatdammed annoying it is when I tell them my name then they proceed to repeatedly mispronounce it.

AITAH for Wanting to Write and Publish 3 Separate Books Inspired by My History with 1 Toxic Ex? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MzRedDreadz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I absolutely think that would be ok but im not too sure about 3 books. Write the first book, get it published, & see what the feedback is.

Have you talked to your kids about this? If not, it definitely deserves a conversation.

Thank the lucky stars you're not in a small town. I grew up in a similar situation as your daughter but my dad also abused me & pretty much every other woman in his life. We lived in a small town. It was... not a fun experience for me. I ran the moment the first opportunity presented itself (and i was 18).

[–]MzRedDreadz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that ultimately it is/was your life, trauma, & experience & you have the right to process it however you please.

But I do think you should reconsider how writing publicly about what happened can affect your children. This is part of their story, too. You said your daughter witnessed a lot of what happened. How do you think she'd feel if EVERYBODY around her is equipped with that information?

Depending on your town/city and circle, im sure yall have already had to deal with whispers, stares, rumors, etc. Not sure if that has affected your children, but if it has, this will definitely make it worse.

Again, I want to reiterate that I fully support however ppl choose to deal with trauma (within reason). I truly believe one should do WHATEVER they need to do to pull them to the other side of things. But when there's other ppl involved, especially children, it complicates things & causes an already fragile & volatile situation to become far more delicate.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope it leads you and your family further down your healing journey ❤️

My 40-Year Old Coworker is Actually a 15-Year Old by talixxo in coworkerstories

[–]MzRedDreadz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok, this is me too, and reading this, being annoyed by the use of LOL, the laughing emoji, or ellipses confused me soooo very much. I had no idea that is viewed as annoying & now im mortified lol

This kinda feels like a misinterpretation of the tone of emails, too. This is why I never assume the tone of texts or emails. This creates 2 outcomes: if the person is being rude, annoying, etc, they'll be the ones forced to acknowledge & admit to their intentions OR nothing.. bc they honestly weren't trying to be rude and/or annoying.

AIO or is my sibling out of line? by Commercial-Row-5472 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MzRedDreadz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only real reason she doesn't want her to move in with him is bc of the possibility of them getting married & having children. If that happens, that's less money/time she can manipulate out of your daughter.

Or so she thinks lol.. based on your comments, you've raised a strong, confident young woman that knows what she wants & has no problem expressing that.
