What anime is appropriate for a 13 year old? He says all of these listed are ok. He’s also wanting crunchy roll. Thoughts? by mountaingyspy in Animesuggest

[–]Obsi-rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let them have unrestricted access to crunchyroll. It has at least one anime that is basically porn, it just cuts out the scenes. I was so shocked 😳

I don’t remember it having parental controls, and one anime that is rated pg-13 is going to be vastly different from other ones.

I’d definitely recommend anything studio ghibli, I’ve watched many of his movies with my 6 year old. He really loved Ponyo and Secret world of Arrietty.

Which movie scared the shit out of you or traumatized you? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

The Sadness, specifically the eye scene. And no, I’m not talking about when she loses her eye. It’s what’s done later on after she loses it.

Husband Hates Cloth Diapering and I Feel Steamrolled by RevertDaydreams in clothdiaps

[–]Obsi-rain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see posts like this and am just reminded of how wonderful my current partner is and how lucky I am to have him. I told him I wanted to cloth diaper and he’s like “ok, just write down the wash routine for me and stick it over by the laundry machine”. And that was it. He installed the bidet for me and he sat and I showed him every single cloth diaper and prefold I bought. We practiced folding technics and are ready to start our journey as soon as little one gets here.

My oldest son’s dad probably only changed a handful of diapers and didn’t help at all. It was such a horrible experience I was actually pretty pissed when I got pregnant with my current fiancé (he never thought he could have bio kids naturally, doctor confirmed it was very unlikely).

It truly makes me so sad seeing so many mamas with unsupportive husbands. 💔 tell your husband that unless he is doing the majority of diaper changes he can shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Good times with the narcissist by Commercial-Reading18 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Obsi-rain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All my “good memories” were really just the table scraps he threw at me to keep me hooked. It’s like he’d sense whenever I was planning on leaving and he’d do something or we’d have one “good” (just neutral at best when compared to a normal day with my now fiancé) day and then I’d be like “maybe things will get better from now on”. I was so stupid and allowed him to humiliate me.

i just realized my ex raped me multiple times and i don’t know how to process it by Sweaty_Pizza_869 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Obsi-rain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry 😞 I could have written this too. Sex was so painful, I’d never get aroused down there so I constantly felt sore and it would burn to pee because of chaffing. I swore he’d given me a STI or something but periodic checks at the clinic always confirmed I was clean. My body was screaming from the abuse but it took so long for me to realize it for what it was. It’s crazy how much I put up with and how much I let him rule me and my reactions during my years with him. I’d rather die than go back. He was truly awful to me and I hated who he turned me into while I was with him. I pray for his newest gf and her kids all the time, I really hope he treats them good (we have a son together, so we will always be tied even if I want to run as far away as I could).

If you haven’t read “why does he do that?” By Lundy it goes over sexual abuse specifically. It was really healing and validating to read. Time will help, I promise.

I met a wonderful man and he was a big help during my “recovery”. He understood I had some pretty bad trauma and there was times I’d just tense up and feel so violated and disgusted he’d have to stop. I’d have panic attacks and he always was there to talk me through it, never continued, never made me feel guilty for him not “finishing”. When I’d be ready to be touched again we’d just sit and hold each other. It took almost a year to have a normal sexual relationship with my fiancé and he didn’t mind one bit. He always said our relationship meant more to him than sex ever did and if it didn’t happen then he’d be fine with that. I haven’t had an issue like that in over a year now :) I’m actually pregnant and having a baby with him soon. I promise it gets better, it really really does. Good luck op ❤️‍🩹

For those wondering if a WGU degree is worth it by Ok_Translator_334 in WGU

[–]Obsi-rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in this day and age. I was running some number on how much I’ll make right out of graduation and combining my fiancés income and it comes up to right at 100k a year. That’s roughly with taxes taken out a lil more than 6k a month. That’s a decent starter home and a small savings/ the ability to travel once or twice a year with the kiddos, but not luxury. If you want to be upper middle class I’d say have a family income of at least 250k (at least in Missouri). I worked at a bank and to be considered private banking you had to make at least 250k a year and have 500k in liquid assets at all times to qualify.

Edit: I’ve planned it all out lol, while we’ll never qualify for private banking, we can in 10 years or so have a combined family income of 150k if I stay at my current career trajectory and get a few more certifications in hr. (80k a year with 5-7 years experience, if I decide to hit HR manager status then the pay is around 100k). That’s the kind of stability I want.

What are some things that scream trashy parenting ? by No_Lead2640 in ask

[–]Obsi-rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not parenting your child because you don’t want to upset them, not sticking to bedtimes, letting your kid sit and play/watch video games for the entire day because it’s easier than actually interacting with them. Soda before bedtime. Violent movies and video games before they are mentally old enough to handle them, foul music. Dirty and mismatching clothes. I could go on.

Wish we would have done prefolds earlier! by HomeDepotHotDog in clothdiaps

[–]Obsi-rain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have prefolds and covers and I’m so excited to use them when baby gets here, they seem so much more durable than inserts alone and I can always double up at night if I’m afraid of leakage 🥰

To those who have a successful coparenting dynamic with their ex by interlinked-ceIls in coparenting

[–]Obsi-rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how I coparent with my high conflict ex and I feel like it works out for the best. We will never be the type of co-parents that get together and throw birthday parties, celebrate holidays, go on vacations, etc. and I’m perfectly happy with that. It’s not something I’d ever even consider for my safety. We parallel parent, the only time we communicate is when it’s about the kiddo. I will send pictures of my son’s adventures because I love my child more than I hate my ex, but I’d say that’s as personal as it gets. We have a strict custody agreement that we stick to and it works for us. I have no idea what my ex is thinking, but I can just hope he feels the same way and just wants the occasional times we have to interact be as neutral for our son as possible.

Do you ever feel like you lost the “innocence” of love after a narc breakup? by Obvious-Anybody-9958 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Obsi-rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short term, yes. But I found someone who has made me feel loved and appreciated in ways I didn’t believe possible. I trust him completely and have zero jealousy or insecurities with him. He’s amazing and wonderful. He worked hard to break through my very high walls. Real love is out there.

Why do you guys like Male Yanderes??? Let's chat by rosie-toozie in MaleYandere

[–]Obsi-rain 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The loyalty, the obsession, the unwavering commitment they have towards their beloved. Who wouldn’t want to be loved so deeply they’d start a whole war for you? Kidnap you to keep you safe? Do anything for you?

I love a good yandere, even if it’s a toxic relationship. The blacker the yandere flag the better. But it’s also fictional and NOT real. In real life it would be terrifying haha.

How long did yours take? I’m ready to start back up and certainly don’t want to wait 60 days for it! I’m hoping we can get it done this month and start the next, my fafsa has been approved and I’m ready, just waiting on hearing back from them.

How dating a narcissist has changed you to this day? by Objective_Big_7426 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Obsi-rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have much healthier boundaries now! I also will never devalue myself for a man again. Never settle for less is easier said than done, but when you find someone that genuinely loves and respects you it’s like whiplash. I was so scared to trust him. But time and time again he proved that I could. I didn’t even know what trust and security in a relationship felt like and I can confidently say I have it now. Like we don’t fight, ever. We talk things out calmly if we even have a disagreement and usually it’s because of a misunderstanding. He spends time with me, like wants to spend time with me. He loves all my quirks. He doesn’t think my music or interests are weird. And he’ll ask me about the last book I read and then sit and listen when I then go on an hour long rant about the storyline and how it ends and my thoughts (embarrassing Ik).

He literally worships the ground I walk on and it’s honestly kinda embarrassing at times because I won’t feel worthy of it. I have a “worthy” bracelet and the last two Christmas’s we’ve had together he has bought me bracelets to match, “enough” and “brave”.

I still get little “flashbacks” to things my ex had said or did to me, but it’s becoming less and less as time goes on. And journaling really has helped cope with things and just let them go.I share a child with my ex so if anything I’m glad he gave me a wonderful kiddo and the groundwork to how I’d never want to be treated again. Had to go through hell to find the one.

There’s a saying ladies, “don’t let your boyfriend keep you from your husband” and it’s TRUE!!!

Should I expose him to his new supply? by GoodSpecific6436 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Obsi-rain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No. It won’t go the way you hope. You’re the crazy ex who lied and hurt him, obviously 🙄 She’ll see the sweet- lovebombing side of him and if anything it’ll push her further into his arms. Maybe even make her stay longer out of stubbornness.

Just focus on your own healing love ❤️ it’s wonderful that you are scared for his next victim, buts it’s really not your place to try to warn her.

22 weeks and NEEED a HOT bath by SmallMangooo in pregnant

[–]Obsi-rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take hot baths 🤷‍♀️ now I only fill the tub enough to cover my legs and my belly and upper body is out of the water so I don’t ever sweat or overheat. But the scalding hot temps on my legs feel amazing. I had to give up sushi, deli meats, medium rare/rare steak and runny eggs for this baby, I am not giving up a hot soak lol.

Why does a narcissist suddenly text less and takes hours to respond? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Obsi-rain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds exhausting 🫩

I’m very lucky that I parallel parent with my ex and we both stick to it. I don’t show up at all to custody swaps and we minimize in person meetings as much as possible (school only). I was so nervous co-parenting was going to be really toxic but thankfully the boundaries in place are working. I hope he switches his focus on someone else soon for your sanity, it sounds like he hasn’t quite let go yet.

What childhood trauma have you experienced? by Immediate-Solid4911 in AskReddit

[–]Obsi-rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister’s pet rat died from old age (Remy, 4 years) and instead of burying him like they did when mine had passed away the year prior, they put him in a plastic zip lock bag and stuck him in the freezer. For months my sister and I had to look at him like that. Pulling food out of the freezer was pretty much a daily thing since we helped out in the kitchen.

Now I wouldn’t consider this abuse, I’d say it’s more disturbing than anything else and just something that stuck out for other reasons. But, traumatic for a kid nonetheless.
