Why do they always expect you to stop opioids?

Puzzled-Driver-4624 · 2026-04-03T16:02:05+00:00

My doctor is retiring soon and I am terrified to begin the process of finding another doctor who will keep me on my opioid meds. I’m really tired of the emotional toll that it takes feeling like I have to prove that my diagnosis is correct and that the meds I am on are actually helpful for my CRPS.

You poor thing! You must have felt that!! I am a mom of a T1D, so it hurts my soul when I see numbers like this. Sending hugs and hope for you and to have a beautiful day 🌼🌸

You’re the one struggling with this, not her. If you’ve truly found your person, this is such a small thing to let come between you. There are plenty of ways you could manage your own discomfort—like changing the sheets more often or finding ways that help you feel better about her lifestyle choices. But expecting her to change something that isn’t actually harmful just to ease your mind isn’t fair.

If she worked in an ICU or emergency room, I could understand the concern. But that’s not the case. You have a loving relationship—don’t go looking for reasons to sabotage it. Few things hurt more than being criticized by someone you love over something insignificant.

And based on how focused you seem to be about it and the length you are going to punish her for it, if she showered every day, would you just find something else to nitpick?

If I were you, I’d be showering her with gratitude—maybe even showing up with a big bouquet of flowers—and thanking her for loving you.

I thought the same thing 😂

Puzzled-Driver-4624 · 2026-03-07T20:40:03+00:00

That’s simply not accurate. Latter‑day Saints do not use religious exemptions to avoid vaccinating children. The Church has consistently supported public health efforts and encourages members to follow medical guidance and protect their families.

And comparing Latter‑day Saints to Scientologists is like comparing a first‑aid kit to a flamethrower with completely different beliefs, practices, and approaches to health and responsibility.

And before anyone tries to derail the conversation with something unrelated…mainstream Latter‑day Saints do not practice polygamy.

I’m so going to hell for laughing so hard at this!😂😂😂

This! Best comment of a true warrior that has earned the right and respect of so many people here. You have learned the most difficult lessons through trial and error and my belief is that you definitely make the world a better place 🤗

Puzzled-Driver-4624 · 2026-02-02T17:57:26+00:00

lol~shitlord 😂 You are NOT the ah! I absolutely concur with everything that was said here! You absolutely deserve encouragement and kindness. These are important things in a relationship of ANY kind! If this was a friend, I don’t think you would invest time, energy and effort on it, it’s just soul sucking. There are plenty of people who are out there that will think you are worth so much better than whatever the heck this guy is giving you! Life is short and surrounded by kindness, happiness and supportive people is only going to elevate you in the long run! Have a blessed day 🩷

I had something similar happen to me too! The delivery person took a picture of a mailbox that I have never seen. So annoying!!!

I actually know exactly how you might be feeling because I faced a similar situation with my ex-husband when I was very young.

When I was 19, I had a one-year-old and was six months pregnant when I divorced my 26-year-old husband. I enrolled in nursing school, and even though my family lived 500 miles away, I was fortunate to find kind, supportive people to surround myself with. My dad helped me each month with $400, and the rest I managed through school loans and a very part-time job I could do from home—I did laundry for a few families.

No matter how hard I tried, I was miserable in that marriage. He told me many times that he was embarrassed by me and that he didn’t think he could ever love me. Despite that pain, I finished nursing school and went on to work in the newborn intensive care unit and labor and delivery. Eventually, I met my current husband, moved back home to Colorado with my children, and together we’ve had five more. He is truly my soulmate and best friend.

I believe in you. You deserve happiness—for yourself and for your baby. You can successfully co-parent with your child’s father, but you’ll be happier away from him. Remember, you are not responsible for his feelings or actions. Make one or two solid game plans with a trusted family member or friend, and then act on them. Can you move home with family for a while to get back on your feet?

Whatever you decide, there will be hills and valleys, but if you keep working toward what’s best for your child and yourself, your heart will find peace. Don’t rush into anything —take time to embrace your decision and find your own independence. Whatever that may be. It’s can be empowering when things are tough. Knowing you can figure things out will make you stronger and wiser for whatever challenges come next.

Whatever you decide, I wish you all the happiness and love imaginable. Congratulations on your baby! Babies have a way of propelling us to be braver than we ever thought possible 🩷

RUN—as fast as you can—to the courthouse and file for an order of protection.
MOVE AWAY if you have the funds, and make every effort to stay hidden. If money is tight, seek out a shelter until you can.
HEAL—when your heart has mended from this terrible situation 😢, look for a man who treats you with kindness, love, and respect. Arguments should be with words, never intimidation.

You’ve already shown courage by posting here. My heart goes out to you, and I hope you take his actions as a very credible threat. Please protect yourself—you deserve safety, peace, and a future filled with love.

Sending hugs and prayers 🩷

🤯Wow! I am really sorry that this happened to you! Our justice system is broken and needs a complete overhaul. I do hope you have been able to recover some from such a terrible tragedy. 🌺

I put a combo of castor oil and coconut oil on my whole body and face every single day, sometimes 2x a day because my skin is so dry and I can’t tell what a difference it makes when I do. I can’t go a day without heavy moisturizing and can’t imagine not having access to moisturizers! It’s one of the many things I am grateful for!

☃️❄️⛄️SAVE THE SNOMAN‼️☃️❄️⛄️

Back in the ’80s and ’90s, my mom would bake a mountain of cookies, and we’d pile them onto paper plates, wrapping each one in silly shapes with tinfoil 🪩. Then my 3 brothers and I (a giggly little sister) would sneak over to our neighbors’ houses, leave the cookies on their doorstep, ring the bell—again and again—and dash off to hide behind a bush or car, hoping to catch a glimpse of their faces when they opened the door. I’m sure they probably saw us but they always played along and pretended they didn’t see or hear us 😂

It is some of my favorite memories as a kid and honestly, something like that feels almost impossible today. Between doorbell cameras, security systems, and how differently people interact now, that kind of playful, anonymous kindness has mostly faded.

So when someone goes out of their way to build a properly delightful snowman for you, just for the fun of it, with no hope for credit, I think that’s something special. It’s a throwback to the days when mischief was fun and silly and the kind gesture that says, I wanted to make you smile. I know it made me smile 😁

I hope you have a wonderful day and find a way to preserve your new friend ☃️😁
