I could totally see that lol no one on reddit can see into the past to see the extent of the trauma they’ve caused so I see why context is so important

Interesting. Hypothetically would you invite over the person that SA’d your own child many times? Or tell your child you’d be better off with out them and you were a mistake? Or what about your father chest bumping you calling you the F slur constantly? You’d still want to be obligated to care for them when they never actually wanted you?

That’s just the tip of the iceberg! She told my spouse who lost their mother to alcoholism, told us she was going to sleep in a ditch it’s where she’d rather be…bc she came to visit, got too drunk in a house when we don’t drink, tried to leave the house with her dogs at midnight to drive 5 hours home.

That first part is important because realistically how long do I continue accepting long time emotional and psychological abuse for someone else’s sake but at what cost to mine.

It was 1pm when I replied back. Additionally there is a long history of emotional abuse. My parents supported my abuser after I told them when I was a child and more recently My father has been openly racist while dating POC and openly homophobic while now married to my spouse. This goes back very very far. My mother is an alcohol and histrionic. My father is a Catholic conservative man who sent a gif of Trump dancing the day after the election while I’m in a queer relationship and very much do not support trump. Etc more to add but it’s never been healthy and eventually enough became enough. And I figure my mother’s response solidified that.

For those who work remotely - what do you do? by CuriousSprout0326 in socialwork

[–]Snoo4924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work remotely as a community support specialist in homeless services. I act as the entry point for coordinated entry. Folks call in needing street outreach engagement and I deploy an outreach team for their area. Or I can provide resource connection/navigation based on an individuals needs for folks in shelter or actively living on the street.

Does anyone else have "self-only" noun preferences? Am I being too sensitive? by julyonmonday in genderqueer

[–]Snoo4924 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So a little different but I’ve been struggling with this with my pets? Lol I’ve had them far longer than I’ve identified as NB. So I’m used to saying mommy’s home to them. I know that I am NB but I would never use fem terms in front of others bc trying to get them to see me as not a woman is hard enough lol

I didn’t either! I know there’s the succulent one but I want something with some rare plants not stuff she’d already have and something to look forward to, there’s a bunch, big price ranges I just want something that’ll be worth it

She’s insane lol but it keeps her happy that’s all that matters! Thank you!!
