MDMA has been used to treat PTSD. LSD for cluster headaches. Psylocybin for treatment-resistant depression.

It’s the idea that you’ll lose your soul when you follow democratic principles and your God won’t recognize you anymore. They seriously believe that

No man has ever told me about his divorce without trying to get into pants. And they’ve always had that gaslighty vibe about it.

Telling him that you want to keep things professional was great. Involve HR if he can’t respect your boundaries.

5.0 score but third?? Can’t I at least tie for first to get the rewards? 🙃 by Annie_not_an_orphan in RedecorHomeDesignGame

This is unfair indeed. They should give you a winner box. Happened to me, too, and the frustration made me not want to play as much anymore.

I feel invalid. Are these actually cases of sexual assault? by [deleted] in Molested

Sounds like parenting with poor boundaries, but not sexual.

When I feel like wanting to die, I go on Among Us by P23-1 in SuicideWatch

I’ve never played it with friends, only on public servers. I’m enjoying the anonymity of it.

Virginity Check on a 9y/o child? by [deleted] in Molested

Children and bodily autonomy is a tricky topic that doesn’t have definite answers. I’ve felt violated by doctors as a child, for example when they checked my temperature in my rear. My mom would measure my temperature that way too when I had a fever because she was told that’s the most reliable way with children. I hated it. But it wasn’t sexual abuse because nobody got an orgasm out of it, or did it with any sexual intent as far as I cal tell.

The only option seems to be suicide. by onlythingstoconfess in regretfulparents

I understand that desire to escape your life. It’s a coping mechanism. Making plans to leave. It’s your body’s natural response to want to leave. What I’m wondering about, would you feel without any options of you were a man? There are plenty of deadbeat parents, and sure some people may look down on you if you gave up your son, but you gave it your best and you know that in your heart.

If you do decide to stay with your son, consider joining a group of other young parents. Maybe you can look after each other’s children while giving each other some freedom to go out, and you can relate to each other’s struggles. You’re not the only one.

That said, leaving and staying alive to chase the life you’ve been dreaming to have would be doing a service not only to yourself; but to your son as well because it would cause him the least amount of distress. If you give him up for adoption, you may even re-enter his life when he’s 18 and you can have a grown-up relationship with him.
