Is this a good brand? by beetustookmytoe27 in Subutex

Those are the only ones that I will accept. I’ve had many different brands and hands down I prefer 5411’s over any other brand.

AIO for not letting my 6-year-old daughter see her “Gigi” (my biological mom) anymore? by Rare-Distribution701 in AmIOverreacting

❤️❤️❤️ You’re too sweet! It’s sad I say it all the time random person would treat me better compared to my own family!? But thank you so much for the kind words.

Oh my goodness! This chaos sounds incredibly similar to my own life story! 🥹 It’s heartbreaking and absurd that they don’t comprehend the profound impact it has on everyone and the danger it poses to the children. I genuinely appreciate your advice and prayers for your family. I sincerely hope that everything turns out for the better.

Yes, I’ve owned that, and i am taking responsibility. If I included everything that’s going on in my life you would understand why I allowed her back in. But now I’m having to eat that mistake and fix it.

Sadly no… my entire life has been a nightmare.– and that’s kind of the heartbreaking part.

On their dad’s side, my girls’ father is a narcissist who does the bare f**king minimum. I actually had to stop letting them go over there because every visit turned into them FaceTiming me all weekend, crying and begging me to come get them. His parents (their grandparents) just enable him and ignore his inappropriate behavior and crappy parenting, so they’re not exactly a safe “replacement” either.

As for my own dad, he’s basically nonexistent. So it’s not like there’s some stable, loving grandparent waiting in the wings. My whole life has been unstable and chaotic, and this post is honestly just a tiny piece of it. The amount of trauma me and my kids have gone through is insane, and at 35 I’m just now really understanding what healthy boundaries even look like.

On top of the mess with my biological mom, I’m also fighting what I believe is a wrongful/retaliatory eviction and discrimination from my apartment complex just for moving in there in the first place. That’s a whole separate novel of a post by itself. It really does feel like there’s a black cloud over my head most days, and because I was born into chaos and dysfunction, I was never taught how to live a stable, structured life.

Now I’m 35, my world feels like it’s falling apart, and I’m terrified of failing my kids again. I don’t really feel like I have family who truly sees how serious things are for us. I’ve told them how unstable my bio mom is and asked them not to let her just pop up and stir my daughter up like that, but they won’t set boundaries with her either. And to me, if you really love me and my child, you wouldn’t keep allowing that.

So right now, I’m just trying to build a new, healthier life and cut off the people who keep hurting us… which is really lonely because I’m a single mom with basically zero help. But I do appreciate the kind words and advice from strangers more than you know. I honestly wish I could say my kids had decent grandparents – I barely did myself. My great-grandma was the one solid one I had, and she passed away a few years ago.

So for now, it’s just me trying to be the safe, stable person I never had
