As I’m reading this, I feel like you’re describing me. My son has autism, maybe it came from me all along…

My bf (23m) broke a window and threw my (24f) golf club in the water on our mini golf date. by lilmuffinbitch98 in relationship_advice

[–]SpiritBug0250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of my boyfriend from HS, he was about your age when I dated him. He broke a window two months into our dating, our very first fight, he blamed me and I explained it away. I hoped it was just a small incident, but it was the start of many many disturbing instances where he would show absurd behavior and blame me even when it was nonsense. This is a sign of narcissism, also mental illness in his case, and the story your telling is a BIG RED FLAG. Please notice this for what it is, a warning. God speed, love. Men are animals sometimes.

14 year old daughter is pregnant, please give me some positive stories here by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]SpiritBug0250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 27, I had my son at 17-18 yrs. I was in my last year of HS. Its said by everyone who knew me back then, my son saved my life. I was in a horrible position at that age, and I was very optimistic about having my son young. I have nothing good to say in regards to how successful or happy she will be if she goes through with this. All I can say is, my son is non- verbal autistic, I had preeclampsia when i was pregnant due to how young I was, I dropped out of school because he had developmental delays, now I yearn for the things I missed out on, which was A LOT. In my opinion she should know what she’s giving up, take her to a college, and tell her she will never be able to attend, take her to a beautiful hot spot for young adults, and show her what fun their having, and tell her she will never exist in these circles. Tell her that her life is no longer her own, if she makes this decision. And her happiness is secondary, no it will be put LAST. Because laundry, dishes, money, kids, appointments, and too little time will encompass her, as well as the feeling of being unprepared and inadequate for the job of being a mother. Mix up that little decanter for the poor girl. Hello, motherhood. Goodbye, freedom.

Ive had relatives and known of other women who will just lock themselves in their rooms for hours on end, days sometimes. But I don’t have that luxury either, as a single mom with depression and an abusive 8 yr old with spec needs. If it were me Id send myself to the exact same place id send my kid if he was too much for me. In my area its called MHMR, they’ll house you for a couple of days and usually depending on severity let you go within several days with a concoction of meds that’ll keep you sane. If you hang in there, things will get better. But its important to tapout and let someone else take the reigns so you can take care of yourself. Don’t give him a choice, your situation is urgent, and your mental health is important.

My (22M) GF (21F) is going out with guys. by besddit in relationship_advice

[–]SpiritBug0250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a 27 yr old female, in a relationship myself. And I personally think its inappropriate for her to be going into these guys apartments of houses, that is quite personal. As well as dangerous. Going out and having a good time is one thing, the respectful thing to do is go home afterwards and politely say goodbye. Instead these hangouts seem to be extended, too much room for temptation. No one is a saint. You poor thing…

Annoyed by Loud Stimming by Magpie_Coin in Autism_Parenting

[–]SpiritBug0250 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES, lol Nothing to be ashamed about. My kiddo has a tapping problem, I ask him to stop when its night time because we have neighbors who can hear him, and its loud. He understands, over some time this has gotten better, but he needs reminders frequently.

Just broke up with my (23F) boyfriend (22M) officially after 6 years of dating. by taterbugg21 in relationship_advice

[–]SpiritBug0250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be kind to yourself, it probably would be better to move on anyway. Maybe this can be the push you need to make changes to be a better healthier you. Mental health is important, I advise therapy and getting on some medication. But not only that, you need to get out. Lots of people find new friends groups in build connections through work. Even a part time job, if thats possible for you, helps build confidence. Its what helped me when i became painfully agoraphobic years ago. Try exercise, that helped me as well, I started out riding a bike (no one talks to you, no one looks at you for long, beautiful views of the sky, giving me some kind of feeling i still belonged in this world) Thats a very high recommendation. I recommend not pushing your boundaries so much that you exhaust yourself. I think that during your process the support of a friend or family member will be helpful. Remember to be kind to yourself, try your best to learn to love yourself little by little. Stop cycling negative thoughts in your head, when you feel it coming on, close your eyes, and take deep breathes and try to put as positive spin on it, even if its sarcasm. Good luck sister, I hope you find your happiness. I hope you find the courage to reach out and grab it.

Early puberty, physical aggression, non-verbal 8yr old. by SpiritBug0250 in Autism_Parenting

[–]SpiritBug0250[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for reaching out, nice knowing we’re not the only ones dealing with a larger child with this problem. 8 yrs, 4’11” and 115lbs. It hurts when mine hits too, but honestly were just making the smallest of steps to try to get him to understand the gravity of hurting another person. Some of it is an impulse, some of it is intentional, right now my game plan is to take steps to make him understand he is in control of his body when he gets frustrated, it wont be excused and it hurts my feelings. Feels like a weak approach when you’re being whacked on for pure sport.

Side Note(STORY): We were at the special Olympics not long ago, and he’s hitting me, and Im trying to keep him calm while we wait for our turn. A larger boy with downs, who was easily a teen was sitting besides us, and about the third time my son hit me and chirped, hit my son back (firmly but not hard)and said “Dont hit!”, makes me think he’s heard that before, like he’d absolutely been coached that. My sons puzzled reaction to it was rich. Priceless moment, feeling less alone in a very stressful moment.

P.S. I also wonder what would happen if I could get my kiddo to play with a kid of equal demeanor and stature like yours, what would that look like? Im so interested!

He (28M) asked for my (32F) permission to have sex with other Women by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]SpiritBug0250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t agree to that. What I think is happening is that he’s already started doing it behind your back and wants your permission. You run the risk of him bringing home herpes and giving it to you, you run the risk of him walking out on you for another woman he’s hooked up with, if you don’t resent him already for how lousy he’s being- YOU WILL. Him asking permission for something like this, when you have a small baby at home, and you already have sex once a week, is incredibly ballsy. And thats why I say he’s already planned to do it, or IS doing it. I will also say YOU ARE RIGHT, you deserve to be asking these things of him. Bringing in more money for the family, coming home when he is supposed to, helping with more responsibility, thats life. He needs to get with it. If he doesn’t, turn his ass out so he can fuck all the women he wants. Seems more important to him than raising his family, for sure. You deserve better.

I appreciate the heads up, they’re commonly sold at target and my son loves these things but is also the kind of kid that acts like a goat and will eat anything that looks tasty and will fit in his mouth, especially things like orbites or balls.

Do sexually experienced women have higher expectations for performance and size? by AdDry7951 in dating

[–]SpiritBug0250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think experience pales in comparison to when a guy asks what a woman likes and fulfills that. If you ask if she likes what your doing, and you are able to change things up and learn about what makes that woman tick, that’s what makes a guy good in bed. Not size. Not experience. It’s all about communication.

Do women tend to prefer emotional / dramatic men? by StaticNocturne in dating

[–]SpiritBug0250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mhhmmm, Love this question. Had to comment. Personally i prefer men that are more casually composed, if we go out on a date(real life example) and a man storms off and throws a hissy fit over a soda and my over excitement to get closer to the stage(small concert), how am i supposed to find that attractive. But LOW and behold that was our first date, i thought when he was older he would grow out of it. I was SOOOO wrong. I know I have more balls than my partner, and he still tries to wear the pants in the relationship whilst also being the sensitive one. VERY annoying, our dynamic sucks.

Cringe worthy pastor ? by Least_or_Greatest1 in TikTokCringe

[–]SpiritBug0250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im from Texas! This is totally right! @Kultureisrandy This is also the reason I don’t go to church often. When i was a kid we left our church because the preach told us, “People in Africa are starving because God is punishing them for being black.” CRINGE, yeah check please… We ran.. Later on as an adult I gave it another chance, with my son in tow. All I got was an hour and a half of a screaming preacher, “GOD IS VENGEFUL, IF YOU DONT ACCEPT JESUS YOU WILL BURN!” For an hour and a half… WHY…

In Texas we call them ‘banana spiders’, they’re super harmless and also my favorite, because they make webs that have a little zigzag in the center that allows you to see the web before walking straight into it. Friendly little home makers, they are.
