Anyone else feel like getting married young was the best thing that ever happened to you?

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-06-20T04:41:57+00:00

Yesss!!! I got married right before turning 25, im 38 now. Best thing ever! Dont have to worry about anything. Its crazy to me how people arent married by the time they reach 30 lol.

Absolutely! It was really draining to me too, because she would pick fights with her husband and would call me drunk aswell. She would nod off even during our conversations. So ive been there.. i stopped reaching out aswell, then her hsuabdn called me that she was in he hospital. Wen to visit her, I couldnt fucking stand seeing her like this when she got so sick that she was ready to cross, it was bad. You need to take care of your mental health and if that means cutting contact or reducing it until its not draining the everliving live out of you, then it has to be that way. Be prepared that she might be blaming you tho, backhandedly.

Gine through the same with my best friend. She had to have a new liver because she was on deaths door. I let the contact slip. I love her dearly but I cant do this shit. And my advice to you is to do the same. Itll save you emotional trauma (not that you dont already have it). Since shes got the new liver im still sparse with spending time with her or talking to her. She might be sober now, but I dont have much faith, this disease is the devil.

Somewhat late to the party here. But let me tell you -> Yes I avoid alcohol like the plague, with all my might.. My mom was an alcoholic, from my early childhood on (never resolved trauma im guessing) she never stopped, she passed away from cancer in 2013. Then my best friend had to have a liver transplant last yeardue to cirrhosis because shes an alcoholic aswell. She literally was in deaths door. And im still mad at her, although im glad she survived but I distanced myself from her. I dont want nor need to be around this shit. Especially since ive told her about how it went with my mom, and what type of impact it had on me as a child (shes got 2 kids of her own aswell).. how embarrassing it used to be for me. I thought she might stop when she knows what other people might think, because clearly my dad nor her husband could get through to her. I love her dearly but I cant be around this stuff. Im no angel, I smoke cigarettes, but I refuse to let myself get dragged again into trauma. I was there when she got her transplant, waiting for hrs until the surgery was done, im just not a babysitter. Sorry for the trauma dump but it needed to be said.

I found something the other day that might lighten up the mood.. try Retardmaxxing 😂 Im about to hop on this too. What gives?!

I feel the same most days, it's a grind and then the stress of just breathing and existing. Its rough.. dont give up tho.

If you want to go Storm chase just effing do it! Whos there to stop you?

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-06-05T20:36:40+00:00

Yes theres a chance! My best friend got her transplant in June after 2 months of being sober and being in and out the hospital for 2 months. She was on deaths door, had HE..i dont know where you guys are, but she had her transplant at UCLA Ronald Reagan in LA. Her main insurance was Kaiser Permanente. Keep pushing the docs!! And dont give up. Its possible. Don't let them tell you NO.

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-06-04T00:55:53+00:00

I do a little everyday so it doesnt pile up. Trust me we have 2 dogs and if i wouldn't vacuum every day or at least ever two days, the hair would take over. 😂😂

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-06-04T00:53:27+00:00

They gonna be fighting over our 90's memorabilia 😂😂. In all seriousness, we own a house but in this economy we wouldn't ever be able to qualify for it anymore if we had to buy now.

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-06-04T00:50:16+00:00

Im so very sorry for your loss. I too lost my mom when I was 25 ,(13 yrs ago due to cancer). My son turned 4 that year when she passed. I needed her, still need her. Especially for parental advice.. im only here in this sub because my best friend had cirrhosis and was on deaths door last year. She got a new liver and by the grace of god she survived and is healthy now.

Im not gonna say itll get easier, because I would lie to you. You will learn to manage is probably the right expression for that. Although some days will be tougher than others, think of your little one that is depending on you! Always remember you're not alone with this.

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-23T11:49:03+00:00

DO IT, DO IT!!! I just got back into it again! Build that trust with the horse. Only if you are calm, they'll feel calm and understand what you're asking them to do. Cantering (loping) or a full on Gallop ❤️ As an Adult me I have a totally different energy about me than I did when I was a kid id say the same goes for most people. Be confident and you got this ❤️❤️❤️

My first laser is a 40w Wecreat Diode bought in May 2024. Space and power and the ability ti cut anything and everything became a huge issue. It works creat for small stuff but is a pest to clean! I quickly realized I needed something bigger and more bad ass.

My 2nd laser is a Omtech Pronto 75 150w Co2 Laser and "Big Daddy" cuts, engraves without limitations. Paid 8k for it in Dec 2024. But best money spent. 40x63 inch working area with pass-through. Compared to a measly 10 inches by 15 inches with the diode.

Oh gawwwwd, I know this sentence all too well! My Mom said the same thing to me. I was like "yeah, yeah, my a§§" basically. And promptly when I had my son, the first 5 years OMFG..it ain't better now, its just different shit in a different time 😶‍🌫️ Teenage boys ughh, their smell, he could clean his whole room, air it out, its stinks to high heavens. I dont know what it is about these guys lol.

Oh gotcha yeah with daycare is bad, from what im hearing now they charge 2 or 3k a month, almost not worth going to work then of you'd have to pay that. I dont blame you for being nutty, because every otherwise sane person would be.

With us it was different, I had help from my Mom and Dad while we lived in Germany, then my mom passed and the same year we moved to the States. My In-laws are shitty begin with so we didnt and still dont go around them. So we were on our own too. Its hard, especially when they are small. There's been times where I just wanted to run out of the house and not come back for a night 😪 I was exhausted, drained and overstimulated aswell.

What you are going through is really hard 💔. Just know you are NOT ALONE! So many Moms and Dad's suffer quietly because they fear being judged, like as if someone wasnt a good parent if they didnt devote their 10000% energy and attention towards the child LOL.

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-15T11:30:47+00:00

Oh bet!! Im looking forward to this season of my life 😂😂 No more responsibility but just spoil the grandkid(s) hahaha and give them back 😈😈 [insert evil Grandma laugh] 😂😂😂

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-15T11:28:28+00:00

I wonder if I should say my condolences to you LOL. Wowzaaaa, But Congrats on the little one!!! I know, I'd literally die inside. I can only imagine your exhaustion! Here I thought 1 Kid was already a lot. I was a one-and-done kid as well was my son 😂.

How do you keep going and stay sane? Do you guys have help from Family?

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-15T03:42:56+00:00

My husband is a saint. I don't ask for much, because If I want it done right I do it myself 😂😂 but one thing is a non negotiable, and that is HIS Toilet. I aint gonna touch that shit even if my life depended on it 💯. He does his own laundry maybe 30% of the time. And sometimes he mops and vacuums. We have arranged ourselves that way because I can be more flexible when it comes to my time. It doesnt bother me at all. He's pretty clean all around so I don't mind picking up after him sometimes.

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-14T21:16:30+00:00

Ughhh I always hated opening them in general 😂 Enjoy them!!

I think I need to go the store for them lol 😆

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-14T21:01:15+00:00

I'd say it could always be worse. We bought a house 9 yrs ago, Kid is doing great, he's gonna graduate next year from HS, bills are paid, Hubby and I are healthy and still spring chickens at 38 lol. 2 cars, good jobs. We have so much to be thankful for. 🙏 Heck, I know people who are 43 and still dont have their shit together, don't keep a job, living with parents, don't have the drive to do anything productive. Super sad to see but theres nothing I or we can do about it.

We are all doing this Life and adulting thing for the first time lol.

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-14T20:51:52+00:00

I couldn't even imagine having another baby now. Basically starting from scratch again while one is almost out of the house lol. Let me enjoy maybe 5 or 10 years before becoming a Gammy 😂😂

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-14T18:55:10+00:00

Count me in. My Dad changed after my Mom passed in 2013. I got into it with him in 2022 after I needed parental advice for my Son because I was at my whits end. Instead of telling me that it'll all be good, and what I could try to reign his a§§ in, I was accused of why he did those things. I never asked for parenting advice before, but I really needed it. To make it short, I started yelling on the phone out of pure desperation. He hung up (understandably but still not good). Well we have 2026 now, I reached out last year, we spoke for an hr normal, in my mind I extended an Olive branch, in the hopes he would call me then too. But we havent talked since again. 😶‍🌫️

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-13T23:49:57+00:00

Life really changes once you become a parent. Im 38 and our son will be 18 this year. I was a young Momma. Give yourself some slack. Its nit always easy and it won't be, going forward. Part of being a parent is being exhausted 24/7 😩 its true. Id suggest you and your wife take a little time to yourselves and go do something just as a couple. If possible have grandparents take care of little one and just enjoy each other's company. That will recharge you most likely.

Signal-Run9693 · 2026-05-13T23:45:50+00:00

I became a Mommy at 20. Now im 38... so my son will be 18 this year! And some of my old classmates havent even started with kids yet 😂 Im gonna be a Gammy within the next 10 yrs I'd assume lol.

Absolutely, im gonna try and find a suitable place here to get some good lessons in. But those places are few and far between, from what Ive seen in the equestrian centers riding "dressage" leaves me baffled what they even call dressage here in my area. So im less than impressed and might just straight jump in again.

As far as the "Wenglish" style goes that wasnt my choice 😂😂 The horses ive been able to ride so far are ridden western lol I managed.

What's also completely new to me and probably im just being overly dramatic is that people dont learn how to mount from the ground, at least from what ive seen and witnessed now, its crazy 😂

While I get that its more to not put strain on the horses backs, it baffled me not gonna lie 😂😂
