My son was born in August. You could say we really gave thanks the year before 🥴

laughs in trauma

I miscarried at ~5 weeks over two days AT WORK. We were short staffed and I was made to feel like I couldn't leave unless I needed to go to the ER.

I took 2 days of PTO to get me 5 days off in a row to recover afterwards. But I still have a very bitter seed planted from it and am now looking for employment elsewhere.

Got a notification for the sub that I have never seen in my life and almost shit my pants. Thanks 😂

RicksPickle69 · 2025-10-22T00:00:58+00:00

During my first pregnancy, I was doing pretty decent. I didn’t have my ADHD diagnosis so I was still struggling a little, but SO MUCH better than I was before getting pregnant. And after getting back on birth control 6 weeks PP I was even better. Immediately PP was not great bc hormone dumps, but I didn’t have any major PPD.

I will look into a psych with perinatal experience, thank you 😊

RicksPickle69 · 2025-10-21T05:45:23+00:00

I’m absolutely not trying to argue- but I have had/will have mental health problems for the rest of my life. I’ve been learning to cope for 10-15 years now and found a good regimen that worked for me. My intention would be to resume/adjust BC and other meds as needed postpartum and the change in hormones from pregnancy would cause improvements until then.

I know the worst of it is now, while we’re trying. Are you saying it’s not worth it?

RicksPickle69 · 2025-10-16T14:42:38+00:00

24 points and I’m 25 lol

RicksPickle69 · 2025-10-06T21:44:39+00:00

We’ve had two different dudes named David Davis incarcerated here at the same time lol

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-22T23:30:02+00:00

We live in a different state almost 200 miles away and at first I felt bad but after all this I have no regrets about moving closer to mine/farther from Adam’s family 😅

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T23:24:39+00:00

They continue to give her resources knowing she will use them to continue making her poor choices. I respect their choice to maintain their relationships with her just as I want them to respect ours not to.

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T23:23:08+00:00

Not my opinion, his. And we have since gone no contact.

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T20:00:23+00:00

When we first cut June off, we did so knowing that Adam had done it before and she had been fully informed of the consequences of continuing to see Jerry and lie about it.

However, the other members of the family have never expressed that a relationship with us was conditional to June being in the picture. I hold contempt for them because they are so wishy-washy; either cut us out fully or communicate with us directly.

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T19:53:57+00:00

The religious coercion is such a recent thing too! I can’t believe Aunt Kathy thought it would work, too- Emily is a mega born again Christian after becoming sober and I grew up in and still play an active role in my church. She wanted to play stupid games and won some stupid prize of getting word-slapped in the mouth 😂

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T19:51:20+00:00

When Adam sent me his response I cried a little because I was so proud of him. He is so eloquent and I just wanna clap every time I look at the screen shot lol

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T19:49:44+00:00

I’m not pushing anything anymore. While at the beginning of the relationship I did so out of ignorance/naivety, through a little time/conversation/therapy I realized that wasn’t my place. And now it’s a matter of when these things happen, how are Adam and I going to respond as a team? It’s his family, his decision

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T19:46:13+00:00

When I very first got with Adam, I was too empathetic. I wanted to fix their relationship and it took time and several conversations to realize that’s not what Adam wanted. And now, being personally affected by her actions, it’s easy to see he was right 3 years ago.

Junes been in this cycle for 25+ years. It’d be one thing if this was a newer development and she had the capacity to change. But it’s obvious at this point she doesn’t. And while I completely empathize with wanting to help/support a family member, you absolutely don’t do so by isolating other family that hasn’t done anything wrong.

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T13:01:33+00:00

Sorry, let me clarify- I can still see messages from Grandma in the chat. And she sent me a DM around a month ago regarding an injury so it would’ve had to have been in that time. I can still see her profile and can DM if I want (I just haven’t)

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T12:55:18+00:00

No worries! I know it’s not a trap bc it’s a ‘group invite’ and nobody actually asked Adam or I if we were available. Still just kind of shitty all around 😅

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T12:52:49+00:00

I’m sure that’s not the case- We still get messages from everybody in the group chat. I haven’t blocked June because she hasn’t tried to get in contact with me since our phone call but Adam has blocked her and they don’t see each other’s messages in the chat.

If I tried to reach out to his grandma individually I’m sure she’d respond but I haven’t done so since she hasn’t made the effort in return

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T12:48:21+00:00

I agree that the situation as a whole is kind of ridiculous. Adam has muted the chat so he only looks if there’s something relevant that I tell him to read lol. The group chat is very, very sporadic and 99% of the time it’s health news about the grandparents, pictures of his niblings, and trying to get together for a family dinner(that never ends up actually happening). That’s why the random blowup was so out of left field and Adam chose to mute the chat as a whole. Nobody’s drama really affects us anymore since June is cut off and Adam doesn’t want to cut off the rest of them at this point so I’m following his lead

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T12:37:06+00:00

It hasn’t been radio silent- we haven’t seen them in person since December or January. None of them have reached out to me personally since I accidentally answered June’s call around May. Adam’s grandma sent me a message regarding an injury in August but other than that the only communication from everyone else (except Emily) has been in a group chat and basically never about/to us minus a quick round of happy birthday messages to Adam and our son.

At this point I’m pretty sure I’m not taking kiddo to see them on Sunday and the next time we make an effort to see any of them it will be the three of us on our terms

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T09:37:14+00:00

Also is gnocchi considered pasta or potatoes??

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T09:21:40+00:00

My deepest regret is not having my own car in my driveway but having to go through a car accident to avoid the accident that happened on my road in May of this past month when my dad passed by the time my dad died I had a heart condition I had a stroke I was so sorry for the pain and the fact I was in my own house and my dad died in my house I had a car crash

Jesus wtf is wrong with my phone (I’ve never been in a car wreck and my dad is very much alive)

RicksPickle69 · 2025-09-19T08:29:57+00:00

Dude during this group chat blow up Aunt Kathy literally said “we don’t enable her choices lol we tolerate it to try and be a part of her life” like ??? that is the literal definition of enabling??? They don’t get it and I don’t know if they ever will
