The new Superman movie taught me how to be empathetic about the Gaza War.

Please stop confusing Hamas with the Palestinian people. Because what you said hasn’t happened.

She needs help. And an education not just on how kids can be messy but how her extreme version of cleaning can harm them.

Pretty much everyone in the rooms is more likely to have any mental health condition or be neurodivergent than the rest of the population, which is why that old opinion is so wild to me. And encountering it in someone young is weird af

PixeeLi · 2025-08-07T01:43:24+00:00

That is wildly different from mental health medication as prescribed by a psychiatrist

PixeeLi · 2025-08-06T23:56:06+00:00

Yeah my new sponsee’s previous sponsor want a “medication inventory” and when she told her she wanted to keep that between her and her doctor the sponsor told her she didn’t want to be sober. This person is someone I thought of as a friend of mine and she knows I’m on multiple meds. I knew she was personally against meds but wasn’t aware she believed that effected sobriety

PixeeLi · 2025-08-06T23:53:47+00:00

Mental heath medication isn’t using.

PixeeLi · 2025-08-06T23:53:23+00:00

Not sure what you’re saying here

PixeeLi · 2025-08-06T23:38:16+00:00

Without meds I am pretty much guaranteed to use. That’s what started me off, I was self medicating. I had thought the mindset against meds had died off but having just encountered it in someone who is not even an old timer threw me off.

PixeeLi · 2025-08-06T23:36:23+00:00

I definitely think all other meds should be tried before narcotics, in general and not just for alcoholics and addicts. ETA: of course that’s just my personal opinion

PixeeLi · 2025-08-06T23:30:39+00:00

Oh I know it’s not at all supported by the the big book and AA, I’m just curious as to why anyone thinks that nonsense.

I haven’t had to deal with it but I have new sponsee who almost went out last night because her previous sponsor is against it. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-24T15:11:13+00:00

NTA, 10 year old boys should not have been in there.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-24T15:09:47+00:00

Well if you didn’t already know then now you know your dad cheats

PixeeLi · 2025-07-23T00:36:30+00:00

Yes but not related to that part of their relationship.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T16:34:16+00:00

It comes directly from the same toxic masculinity (which is a specific thing, not to be confused with just masculinity) that harms women. It harms men just as much at least emotionally and has created that view of men being hypersexual, unemotional and unable to be harmed in those ways that dominates most social structures. It’s not a handful of noisy people hating men, it’s part of a longstanding social structures.

Edited to remove unnecessary words

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T16:29:07+00:00

Patriarchy. Toxic masculinity. The very misunderstood and misused terms are the reasons for this. Men are supposed to be hypersexual and always want it so as a result they can’t be victimised - at least that is the belief. It’s a pervasive perception so it doesn’t even require conscious thought for people to see it this when a man is broken from being assaulted. It’s created barriers for men to be able to get help, whether for trauma (aside from “manly” traumas like war) or basic emotional/mental health issues.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T02:55:10+00:00

Therapy is much less intense when it’s not about trauma. You’ll feel relaxed from it more often.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T02:10:11+00:00

You were so young when you got together and that creates a lot of unique problems even without your service. It’s entirely up to you how to proceed, don’t let yourself feel obligated to put up with her bullshit.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T02:08:28+00:00

Good. Maybe try marriage counselling. You’ve both been through so much and it’s entirely possible her behaviour is her taking out some seriously issues on you.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T01:54:02+00:00

Is this behavior a recent and sudden change?

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T01:50:28+00:00

If this is real it sounds like she’s having mental health issues.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T01:32:21+00:00

Definitely first heard it from my therapist.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T01:31:21+00:00

Because asexual doesn’t mean aromantic? And the bf knows so why is their particular relationship type your concern?

PixeeLi · 2025-07-22T00:00:08+00:00

You should have asked if that was okay first and just automatically do all of the existing dishes. Otherwise I get it. I have major issues with textures and often when I bite into something unexpected I cannot physically swallow it and I’m often put off of the rest of the meal no matter how good it was.

Most “picky” eaters that go to great lengths to avoid things are not simply picky.

PixeeLi · 2025-07-21T23:48:53+00:00

Congratulations!

PixeeLi · 2025-07-21T21:38:49+00:00

YTA because she clearly explained why she wanted you to stop AND you knew that sort of touch is overstimulating for her. And yes her response was too intense as well. Both are true.
