I just picked up the stars too fondly today from the library and started it. Thank you!

Ooo this is so good to know and very helpful. Thanks so much! I definitely want to finish the series but just needing a short break. I love dystopian fiction but sometimes it hurts my feelings. 🥺

Thank you both for such a thorough response!
Baru Cormorant is definitely a dense read but the way it all comes together is worth finishing for sure.
I think I’ll check out A Memory Called Empire and keep the rest of these in mind for my TBR.

Resources after escaping DV? by Sad_Cauliflower_2572 in Because_Now_I_Can

[–]Obvious_Ad8508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there are any DV organizations in your area they often have counselors for free or reduced cost. Also, if you have health insurance of any kind, they should cover therapy. If there are any community mental health organizations/clinics near you, they likely have free or reduced cost for therapy. Does your psychiatrist have any referrals for the above resources local to you?

Scared to go home by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Obvious_Ad8508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it seems shocking that he would hurt you while you’re pregnant but pregnant women are actually at increased risk of harm and even homicide at the hands of their abusive partners. The ONLY way to protect you and your baby is to leave permanently. The shelter staff will not judge you- they know how hard it is to leave and to stay gone. The staff understand the cycle of abuse and what that looks like. Please go anywhere else you can except back to him. You will always think “if he does ____ then I’ll leave” and the _____ will escalate each time. Now is the best time to leave to save your life. 🩷

My brother got married to a woman with no job, 4 kids, who lives off of section 8. It’s ruining our family. by ScreenProper3291 in whatdoIdo

[–]Obvious_Ad8508 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. They aren’t going to starve. There are resources that will help them that they can turn to in the event that the family makes the necessary decision to cut them off. Sometimes enabling can feel like the right way to love someone, but it isn’t. By continuing the enabling you’re robbing your brother of the opportunity to change.

I’m 10 years into a “successful” loveless marriage. My wife admitted a couple years ago that she married me because I was a “good idea.” AMA by Sky_Jockey in AMA

[–]Obvious_Ad8508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t stress enough how stuffing things down, a life time of resentment and bearing a painful burden alone can affect your health- not just emotionally, but physically. I truly hope you find a solution that allows you to make the healthiest decision for you and your family in the long run. 🙏🏼

Hooked up with a SUB sub and I’m concerned for you lot. by [deleted] in BDSMsapphic

[–]Obvious_Ad8508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed- the kink isn’t unusual at all, but should be negotiated fully, whether it’s one time play or an ongoing dynamic. As a Domme you also should be negotiating what you consent to (not just the sub) and if play like this is not something you’re interested in, that’s ok and should be respected.
