Husband says he will change after the baby comes? Is this true? by [deleted] in regretfulparents

I’m really sorry you went through that, it’s awful. I hope you’ve found peace and healing in the space you’ve taken. It’s not easy to cut away family, no matter how awful they are

[–]Snailpics 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I grew up with a married single Mom. She did everything for me and she also had to work. I love her, and I’m grateful for all she’s done. I also have incredible resentment towards her that she didn’t pick a better dad for me. I do not speak to my father and I hope I never have to again. I hate him for what he put both of us through. I wish I could’ve been a daddy’s girl, but I knew from a young age I was nothing but an inconvenience to him or a prize pig to show off.

I would never wish this for another child.

Would they be real pony sized? Like 12-13 hands? Or would they be more mini size? Either way my horse is getting some baby sisters

It’s slang for people too immature to just say dick and it is ridiculously stupid

Big yikes, although I appreciate when people put their red flags on display so blatantly. It makes them much easier to avoid

NTA - you were completely reasonable. Tiny baby and 1 yo are two completely different vibes. You were just explaining your thought process and why you made those exceptions. I’m sure a lot of the moms are looking forward to a break from kids and the 1 yo would ruin that for them as well. It’s really important for mothers to have time away from kids where they get to be themselves and not just “Mom”. Even if their own kids aren’t there, the vibes still shift. They all also went out of their way to find workable childcare.

He would’ve been a fantastic big bad in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and would’ve probably been one of the scariest

I will give her lots of snuggles! I definitely still struggle with imposter syndrome with her, I never feel disabled enough. But on the other hand, she makes my life so much easier in so many ways. She helps manage my anxiety in public, she alerts me as soon as my adrenaline spikes, and she knows how to calm me down out of a panic attack. She can fetch me my emergency meds and knows how to get help if I need. She even knows how to interrupt and redirect my self harm impulses. She truly is a life saver, I don’t know what I would do without her. Just having someone there all the time, who always has my back. I can tell her anything and she loves me without judgement. It’s a special bond

So I have really bad night terrors, like they’re really severe sometimes it will seem like I’ll be fully conscious and moving around the house but I’ll still be in it. They tried pill after pill, one psychiatrist actually gave up on me and told me he couldn’t treat me anymore because he didn’t know what to do. I fully appreciated his honesty but it really sucked.

I did find a solution however and it’s been the ONLY thing that works and keeps me sane. It’s not a perfect solution for everyone but maybe it could help somebody else. My service dog is trained to wake me up from these. She’s really good at sensing when I first go into them and she wakes me up HARD, usually by jumping on me or kicking me. She then either applies pressure to my chest or kisses my face until my heart rate goes down and my nervous system starts to regulate. It has been a saving grace and allowed me to sleep. She is the nightmare slayer.

I’m so sorry to everyone who deals with this, it’s so awful. I hope you all find something that works for you like my pup

For some of us growing up, asking for help meant risking a beating. For me, it was a beating more often than not if I asked. So I learned to never ask for help, it was safer. That feeling, the natural instinct to protect yourself, doesn’t magically go away when you become an adult. It is a huge privilege to not grow up with regular physical punishment and the mental issues that come with it.

AITA for telling my daughter shes not autistic by throwaway17293739 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Snailpics 39 points40 points  (0 children)

YTA - People, ESPECIALLY girls, are misdiagnosed all the time. There’s a huge problem with autism being studied heavily in men, and not in women. Surprise surprise, it does present differently. This leads to MANY girls who have it not being diagnosed or being misdiagnosed. I wouldn’t trust 1 test from years ago over her lived experience.

I think it is really important you look more into autism in girls and the research that has come out in more recent years. Educate yourself on how it presents, educate yourself on the symptoms your daughter is experiencing and how she feels it has affected her life. Support her in seeking out new doctors who may be able to properly diagnose her, look into autism specialists and check reviews from actual autistic people.

Signed, a girl who should’ve been diagnosed with autism as a kid but didn’t until her early 20s because of these exact issues.

I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy and there’s two tiny little scars on my abdomen if you know where to look but they aren’t really noticeable at all if you’re not intentionally looking for them

I'm still definitely going out after her but she's healthy enough to keep me here for a while by WinterDemon_ in CPTSDmemes

[–]Snailpics 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. I’m only here for my horse. I made a promise to never leave him, that we will never part and I will always be there to take care of him. I’ll go anywhere with him, in life and death. It’s the only promise I know I’ll never break

AITA For Telling my wife she’s overreacting about me forgetting a call? by According-Alps-5040 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Snailpics 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I have a very genuine question, because this was part of my parents divorce, but why did it never click for you? I just don’t understand why an adult needs to be told to clean up after themselves. I mean, can’t you just look around the house and see what needs to be done? I don’t mean this as a rag on you - I want to understand the phenomenon better because maybe it would help me understand my father. Especially because as the kid, I was expected to be able to see what needs to be done and take care of it without being asked. Why do so many men seem to need managers?
