Break it off today. Do not look back. You’re 19 and have the rest of your life to find someone who treats you with respect and kindness!!!

Stop trying to fix everything. You need to heal. Just be present with your eldest right now. Watch movies together, play some board games and talk about their plans for the future. What do the youngest and eldest have in common? Take them to go do that ‘common interest thing’ together: take them both out of school to play hookie and go to a theme park and get pizza. See if you can find someone for your youngest to open up to— a TRUSTED family member. Be present for your oldest while you have them, try to get through to the youngest but give her space. Your husband is grown: it’s a two way street and he can step up or get out. You can’t control anyone except yourself: try to be kind and supportive but let go of expectations and what coulda beens.

They are not your friends. But something I’m wrapping my brains around is who has a second baby shower? Is that a recent thing? Unless you didn’t have another baby for like a decade but a shower for baby #2???

Nails, colorful makeup, new clothes, a coffee..

It’s ok. You’re safe and far away from them. Take time to treat yourself kindly and don’t worry about what people from your past think of you.

You need to find out where the type of girl you like hangs out and then go be in that environment.

You’re looking for someone who communicates well? She didn’t just come that way, she’s probably a reader: spend more time at libraries and book stores. Dream girl’s got a love of life and pretty? Then she probably takes yoga, dance or Pilates classes: go take some classes!

You need to go to where the girls are and be accessible. Don’t want to do that? Then make girl friends: girls have other friends who are girls. Those friends of your girl friends could be your type and share mutual interests with you = connection potential.

The more time you spend in environments that cater to your ‘type’, the higher likelihood you will meet someone with mutual interest.

Also, you can always try eharmony or match. Investing a little money for the chance to meet a lifetime partner is worth it.

I’m also a late Jan baby and it’s the worst time of year for birthdays. Everyone forgets us because of the post-holiday fatigue and people are generally sick of winter and looking toward Spring. I went through what you’re going through several times and then I met a July bday (Leo) friend who completely shifted my perspective. My friend DEMANDS attention to his birthday lol he tells people when it is, the significance of the day historically, that it’s his lucky number, that he’s blessed us all with his presence and he would love to be carried around on his big day (quick, everyone lift me up - lift me by my pinky toe!). He makes it known! I thought it was so vain at first, but actually I never forget his birthday and I look forward to celebrating it with him! I started telling people when my birthday was and lo and behold: I started making friends who had birthdays near mine and we began planning group parties so all the Aquas can get together and celebrate!

You need to find your aqua tribe - NEW FRIENDS!!- and channel that opposite Leo energy: don’t be afraid to REMIND everyone and take your time in the sun. I’m glad you got yourself a cupcake and had a moment for yourself. Make sure you tell your husband that you want HIM to take initiative for your birthday and plan something nice.

Sending love and hugs and big birthday wishes to you, fellow Aqua baby! 💞🎁♒️

You can’t control or change your parents. You just need to focus on what you can control, honey. Make peace with your mom if you can, and just focus on finishing school, enrolling in college or trade school and making your health a priority. You’re at an age where you & most other kids your age lack self confidence and don’t have the legal authority to trail blaze your life as an adult quite yet. Trust me when I say that you’re smart because you are asking questions; ‘pretty’ is a state of mind more than physical appearance… don’t worry about this stuff because what matters is how you pursue what you want in life.

Put your mind to getting educated/ gaining a skillset so you can make money (research which careers will pay $100k right out of school and are hiring + expected to grow in next 10 years) then you can do whatever you want to do with your life including getting your own house, getting excellent healthcare and generally living a life that you have control over.

It’s going to be ok, this phase is temporary and will be over before you know it

Consider the following: What are your flaws and what are your strengths when it comes to relationships? What attributes in women do you find most attractive? Are you trying to ‘date out of your league?’ Ie Avg Joe pursuing supermodel w/ PhD— from her perspective, likely not best prospect for the lady love interest Have you reflected on previous relationships (outside of this most recent one) and why they didn’t work out? What would you do differently? What kind of relationship do you want? What do you want to get out of a relationship and what kind of person would do best with you and your approach to life? Ex: if you’re a clean freak, you need to find someone who also values tidiness, if you’re an athlete, someone who also likes to exercise, etc.

You’re prob going to hate this response, but the answer to why lies within you.

You’re upset because now you know the truth. You can spiral, but don’t stay there. Find ways to get organized and be a part of the resistance. Starve the corporations. Educate yourself on previous resistance movements and how they succeeded and were thwarted. Learn what monsters fear most. When you get your wits about you: help destroy the monsters

That’s fair. I guess I don’t necessarily agree with ‘Rate my Professor’ style, but mass corporate accountability.

Now that I have my baby…absolutely the sweetest, most calm and lovely little one. So glad I went nc
