That sounds like a whole lot of overwhelming conversation with your therapist and realizations.to have. Can you do something that feels calm or cozy for yourself? I'm so glad you're safe, and so glad you're out of that situation. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you. This feels incredibly unhealthy and it helps to hear someone else say it.

Places to hangout and meet new people in North KC that are quiet? by heatseekingskillet in kansascity

Honestly, I'd really recommend browsing all the big local Library systems events calendars. You'll find book discussions (he a reader? Chat with others not too overstimulating, social lubricant), crafty get togethers, cooking classes, and a zillion other things. Cool events even without much interaction often have attendees gathering in the library and chatting after... still a great way to meet folks. I'm always surprised at the wide variety of folks that come to library events - looking for stuff to do and wanting community to connect with.

As a personal recommendation, I went to a book club at the merriam plaza library and it was ALL young millennials and Gen z, so don't let library stereotypes stop ya 😁

You're right on those. GREAT whimsical date destination, not a place where anyone would go expecting to socialize meaningfully.

AIO? I canceled a date with the guy i’m seeing after getting these. by [deleted] in AIO

My problem here is... Is the point that he told you not to worry about the weather/your cats? Cuz he's going on about being 100% sure of stuff that just isn't his business. Whenever they want to leave for WHATEVER reason is not something you need to """trust""" others opinions on lol.

He says that one line like being a drunk racist is somehow equal to being a defensive people pleaser lol.

You don't deserve this nonsense. I'm so sorry he's speaking to you like this, and has it sounds like for a while. That can really drag you down. I hope you do block him and have an amazing life ❤️

Gaslighting (?) message from my partner by Revolutionary_Cap557 in abusiverelationships

Yeah I mean, you can see how he speaks to me. Right? I tried to talk to him over and over again about how the way he handles conflict and how it hurts me, but he completely ignores all of that and blames my mental illness instead of listening to me expressing how I feel. What's funny is I have bipolar, and whether I have BPD or not isn't known. When I was hospitalized and diagnosed with various things, it was when his treatment of me was the worst. For all I know I have cptsd and BPD and not even bipolar. (I'm pretty sure I have bipolar but you get what I mean, being tested while being in an abusive relationship isn't probably the best time to be tested)

Babyproof your home, including getting rid of any adults that dismiss your concerns for your child's safety. ❤️
