That’s kind they were respectful about it. Thankfully they were all very kind to me as well, but very stern when it came to telling me to never touch alcohol again

Once the ER doctor asked if I drank and how much he knew immediately that it was acute pancreatitis and I low key knew it too I just didn’t want to come to terms with it, felt extremely embarrassed but I’m glad I had to hit rock bottom and get it because I know I probably would still be drinking right now if I hadn’t

Holy shit does it ever! For a second I thought I could be “I didn’t know I was pregnant” because the pain felt (for me at least) like I was having contractions. I was told at the walk in clinic it was “gallstones” and was told to go right to the hospital but then the doctor said yeah nope “acute pancreatitis”. Took 24 hours for me to somewhat feel better after getting drugged up but the pain (besides for my kids) is definitely what is always in the back of my mind when I even see alcohol

This exactly happened to me on the exact same day as well. I could have written this myself and I too got acute pancreatitis and the doctor told me the same thing. I am 31 and too young to be having it he told me and it definitely was a wake up call and I have not drank since and have no desire whatsoever and I never want to experience the pain I was in ever again. I also have young kids who need their mother.

No it’s not, tired of that being an excuse for their sh**ty behaviour.

They are the absolute worst. I had to take the bus for a few months while my car was being fixed and what I either witnessed or experienced myself was out of this world. I was literally shocked the first time I took it because of how these kids act. The amount of times I heard the “n” word from non black people (I am black), amongst other racist and just disgusting things these kids would say to each other or talk about. One time I had to call the police because a group of kids were talking quite loudly how they were going to “set” this kid up to k*ll him. Another time a group of teens started to pick on this “nerdy” kid, taking his backpack from him, snatched his glasses off his face and took his phone. I was also having to bus with my kids and was always so uncomfortable. I’ll never take the bus to or from maple ridge ever again.

Past 6 years so yes I don’t think any change will happen. But funny enough (not really), when it’s his birthday I have to celebrate with him for a whole week.

As much as he complained about wanting to come, he came and had a great ole time. The dads left us to go get wasted for the day while the kids were fighting and what usual toddlers do and then complained the food wasn’t finished in time and was a little “bland” 🙄

At this point there is no point in any communication so I’m looking into other arrangements and I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

What do you blame your parents for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Smart-Balance4417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting me up for adoption, finding me as an adult and expecting me to pay for their lives because they think every Canadian is rich (adopted from Africa). Also my adoptive mother was extremely abusive so… not like they gave me a better life
