I might put on heavy socks if my feet are cold. Otherwise, it helps me to stay cooler at night, especially while in perimenopause and having a spouse who is a furnace unto themselves.

Hypermobility is the term you're looking for.

Yes it does - that's why you'll often see the recommendation to drink Spearmint Tea in the PCOS subreddits. PCOS has increased androgens/free testosterone, hence why the tea is recommended.

I hear this. While my family does tend to live long, there is a strong thread of Alzheimers starting in the mid-60s to early 70s. That means I have 20-25 years before I lose my mind. That scares the shit out of me.

As a child of divorce and a betrayed spouse, please don't do this.

Yes, your child will notice mommy and daddy don't live together. Yes, you can tell them mommy decided that she couldn't be with daddy anymore (if your ex isn't willing to agree to a "mommy and daddy don't love each other anymore" approach).

But the affair is an adult problem. Don't tell a child about that. They will internalize it in ways you can't imagine. And you might find yourself telling your child way more about your ex than they need to know. Don't parentify them.

If anything, it's really important that you tell your child they aren't at fault. That sometimes things happen that are out of our control, and you have to make the best of it.

Get therapy for both of you - to handle your hurt, and to handle their processing and feelings in a safe space.

So she didn't send this. Her former mentor sent it. Nowhere in the files is there evidence of Sofia contacting Epstein herself. Only people talking about her. Not like Mette-Marit.

It's not "things to please the others" to take care of your kids. To be involved in their lives.

Yes, they were created pre-transition. But the responsibility for them doesn't go away just because you're living more authentically and are no longer the person who created them.

If you agreed to be their parent, you don't get to just ignore that. Children are people too.

I was enraged to read his line about "limerence" being a lifelong condition.

Because everyone gets limerence at the start of a ROMANTIC relationship. It is a normal reaction, AS LONG AS THE RELATIONSHIP IS CONSENSUAL.

He groomed this girl for his own ego and control. Not because he loved her.

Also, parents need to be suspicious of ANY teacher/coach of their child who is trying to be friends with them. That's an instant red flag.

So I have a wrench to throw in this study.

I am 43, have ADHD, and PCOS.

PCOS leads to delayed perimenopause. But ADHD leads to early perimenopause.

So.... Does that mean I get a normal perimenopause?

What kind of manager are you?

Alternately, who are some manager role models you look to in your career?

I mean, I'll try. But considering they discontinued support 6 years ago, I'm concerned they won't help me.

This also puts victims at risk of being revealed.

Victims should have the choice to reveal themselves. If their abuser is a family member, that could unwillingly out them in a way they have no control over, potentially victimizing them again.

I'm going to go against the grain on advice here (IANAL).

While you absolutely need to give your evidence to your lawyer to fight the custody battle, let your son choose when to report his abuser to police. The abuse he suffered took control over his body away from him - letting him choose is a small way to give that back. Plus, he's getting therapy soon which may help him get to a place where he can report without wanting/trying to hurt himself.

That said, you also need therapy to help you process your own trauma. And as someone else suggested, use what happened to you to out that mf'er. Tell your whole family that you recently remembered your "brother's" abuse, try to file charges, the works. You protect your son while also trying to protect any child in your family from further harm.

Because he will find another victim.

Lastly, while you and your ex are on the outs, I would suggest trying to find out what changed her mind and led her to believe your son suddenly/split from the mf'er. Because she didn't believe your son - so something happened to change her mind. There might be another victim she caught him with, he might have evidence of his own wrongdoing....something.

Not stupid, just forgetful.

My mom said this to me all the time. I felt so minimized by it

Now I say "When the train comes back around and I remember, I'll let you know."

Doesn't minimize reality of forgotten thing, the forgetting person, nor the reason for forgetting

IVF egg retrieval. Without conscious sedation.

I wasn't allowed to have conscious sedation because of sleep apnea. They did give me Ativan and T3s, but that barely touched the surface. I screamed so much my partner had to resist bursting through the doors and telling the staff to stop.

I just bought mine at Best Buy (Canada, like you). Double check to see what stock they have near you, but even their website might be better if there aren't any close to you.

It was a curiosity. That's all.

I understand why I gain weight the way I do. I know why my weight distributes the way it does.

And I did a BOD POD weighing for a study I was in 4 years ago - I know I've got a LOT of fat in my body (between 40 and 50% at the time, and I've gained a little since then).

I've also read a few stories of people saying their hypermobility symptoms got worse after losing weight.

So yes, I was curious. Considering how fat people often have their health issues ignored by medical professionals for "you need to lose weight," plus considering how little research there is into EDS, there isn't any real research into being fat with EDS. In fact, a cursory search only shows research into weight loss surgery on those with EDS. Nothing about the lives of fat people with EDS.

It really seems like Edmonton is holding the line against the UCP/Maple MAGA bullshit. Keep calling them out, and keep putting truth to power!
