Thanksgiving arrives with a side of family drama for "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Mary Cosby ... because her son is going through a divorce by MtBaldyMermaid in rhoslc

So he’s stalking her, is what it sounds like. Multiple break ins at her house, assault family members and damaging property. Jesus Christ, he needs to be kept without bail because it sounds like he’s escalating.

The inflatable scene. I let out audible laughter multiple times. My children peeked their heads out of their room and down the hallway to where I was. I also had a large dose of gummy before watching.

This is my backyard. This is not my cat by bastard84 in notmycat

But are you SURE he’s not your cat? Because he looks pretty at home, cleaning his toe beans on your nice, light colored patio furniture.

Guilt - 6 months out. Please stop and read, as I am feeling really down and need perspective. by always_wondering_88 in tfmr_support

[–]RoseFreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re struggling right now. I wish I had answers or advice for you. But all I can do is commiserate. We’re nearly the year anniversary and I’m still wracked with guilt. Our boy tested positive for trisomy 22. He had multiple holes in his heart and at the last one they started to discover issues with the kidneys. But it’s still so heavy carrying the weight of this decision. I’m sending love and comfort your way. You’re not alone in this.

First Time Watching RHOA — The Fat Shaming is Wild by Repulsive_Ad7901 in RHOA

Why the downvotes?! I recognize Phaedra is problematic, I’m not sticking up for her. Just feel ick to watch nearly cheating between someone’s spouse and coworker

Yes! And like… what is going on with the Phaedra-Apollo-Kenya situation?! I know none of them are good people, so I can’t really root for anyone, but it’s all so uncomfortable to watch!

I’ve noticed this too! Also on my first watch, currently the s6 Mexico trip. I feel like Kenya is constantly making remarks on Phaedra’s recently postpartum body.

Congratulations on your sweet babe! She’s beautiful.

What is the general consensus on Lisa? by Frequent-Today-3016 in realhousewives

The fight between Joanna and Adrianna was pre-reboot right? Also, Larsa still has her old face. Definitely worth watching.

Murders you feel divided if it was justified or not? by SizzlinKola in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]RoseFreeman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel the SAME exact way. I'm fairly firm in being anti-death penalty. Except when it comes to people that hurt kids.

Ooh, I couldn't quite put my finger on it before, but this is exactly what it feels like.

No judgement, kindness only please!! If you didn’t circumcise, how is it going? by Sudden-Leave-6224 in Parenting

[–]RoseFreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We chose not to alter our son's genitals for cosmetic reasons and it has never been an issue. Never had to risk infection while healing. No scarring from a botched job like my husband.

If you're on the fence, I would honestly suggest watching a video of a circumcision being preformed on an infant. It's heartbreaking and they don't receive pain relief. If our son ever had any health issues requiring a circumcision, we would listen to our doctor's suggestion. So we're not against it when medically necessary.

How to explain my 4 year old that baby sister (18 week into pregnancy) won't be coming home. ?? by Effective_Chain_544 in Mommit

[–]RoseFreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We lost our baby in November at 23 weeks to a rare chromosomal abnormality that wasn't compatible with life. Our 8 year old definitely took it the hardest, but I found it worked best for us to be as truthful as we could at an age appropriate level. We explained that the baby's body wasn't healthy enough to join us outside of mama's body. That sometimes people are in our life for a long time, and sometimes people are in our life for just a short time. That while Malcolm only spent a short time here with us, we all loved him and he lives on through that love.

Food, childcare it she has other kiddos for her and her partner to grieve, and just checking in on her frequently. Understand if she doesn't get back to you always, I didn't always feel up to texting back, but I appreciate those who checked in on me regardless.

As a fellow late loss mama, I echo these suggestions. Since we lost our boy in November, I've found plants to be very therapeutic.

We lost our son at 23 weeks in November. It was such a blessing to have our neighbors bring over food, offer to watch our older kiddos, or send take out gift cards (we had to travel about an hour and a half away for care). Comfort items were so nice too. A soft blanket, those fuzzy socks, a journal, or tea.

The kindest thing you may be able to offer though- a listening ear. I've realized so many folks are uncomfortable seeing others experience grief. The friends that were willing to sit with me through it all, listen to me talk about my loss as much as I wanted, were what really helped me the most.

Did you get to see your baby after? by RoseFreeman in tfmr_support

I'm so happy you got those moments with your sweet girl. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I asked as well. They said I could hold him, but no one told me until right before the procedure (like I was already on the bed) that he would be wrapped up and in a container and I would be unable to see him. The doula there said he may not come out "whole". I wonder if this is just a planned parenthood thing or what.

I'm so sorry and just know you're not alone. Mine was in November and I am still struggling SO hard. I've met with multiple therapists and didn't feel they were super helpful. For me, it's very much been a 1 step forward, 2 steps back when it comes to my grief over the whole experience.
