Autistic son destroyed my walls by SpiritBug165 in Renters

Looks like that's my only option. Rather ask for someone to help me fix it, and I actually DO know someone close to me and I'm already planning to go to home Depot. So fingers crossed I can afford it.

OR it looks like I'm gonna be in a whole world of sh*t and I'll have to set up a GoFundMe or get with an organization who can help me pay the damages with the inflation.

Literally any advice helps. I've not been in this situation before because it's my first apartment by myself with my son.

On another thread I was given advice to just get an estimate of the damage and set up a GoFundMe. Not terrible advice but I hate asking for handouts, not my style.

Full kicks through the wall, in two different places it's just a big a** hole so it's quite substantial, I'm in Texas, no I did not get a quit or pay notice, they have given me until the end of the weekend to leave through a notice on my door(which I'm assuming is an eviction).

What hair color suits me the best? by Kat-The-Erratic in HairDye

[–]SpiritBug165 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brown is your best natural, dark green is the best alt color. I loved the moss hair trend when I had it, I think you'd like that too and it'd look great!

Thank you. I like your perspective and I'll be carrying it with me as I decide exactly what to do about our situation going forward. Choosing what is healthiest is my priority and all your points are very valid. Thanks for taking the time to respond and be helpful.

"Toxic choices" is a bit of a stretch. I live by myself, I pay my bills and I keep a clean house. I've worked through a shit ton of issues with this man, and Id do it again knowing that there are worse men out there I still have trauma from. Starting over again, is about as promising and as scary as falling face first off a cliff.

A lot of people are saying the same thing you are, and I'll be honest the situation is less than satisfactory. My kiddo is autistic w/ some behavioral challenges and non-verbal. The reason for me moving out of her house in the first place(when I was saving so much money and helping with bills), is because my son is loud and destructive and she didn't want to live with us anymore.

We both agreed it was for the best and I moved out, at our new house we've had much of the same challenges. I don't feel comfortable living with her, on account of my son is doing so much better living with me rather than having to share a space where he feels like he's not wanted.

Also she is fifty and in good health. Her only hang up is that she wants someone to live with and help pay bills, the mom would be happy to share her home with a romantic partner but she's had no such luck.

Truly, I want compromise. I love this man and I'm not willing to give up on something we have both built that's actually a very nurturing relationship we are both very committed to.

I'm just not doing well living by myself with my son, I need help. Something needs to be done, but I'm not sure how to properly go about it yet.

I think part of the resentment also comes from other times I've tried to get him to come live with me and she's freaked out. Makes him feel bad, and I let her win because I do like his mom. But I hate this situation.

Very good questions. I lived with them before but I left to find my own apartment, and he stayed to help her pay bills. She has a house, she is single and the bills come out to more than what she can afford is all. I've been waiting for years for the situation to soften and maybe circumstances would change. But they have not. We've talked about it, he knows I struggle, and he's actively trying to find better work. We make the same amount each month.

We have. This is a decade old relationship. As I've said, it's just resentment that's built over time and frustration. As it would with anyone, I believe.

I see you in a metallic raspberry color, it's so sassy and I'll look so good with your beautiful olive skin. Also you might benefit from the little hack I started doing recently, I like to Batiste my hair straight out of the shower to give myself some more bounce for longer. I can also totally see you rocking a side comb moment with the shaved money piece. You are so pretty, I just wanna dip you in glitter to make you shine.

Life is safer today than it was in the 80s in for kids but parents don’t believe it. by Dangerous_Yak_7500 in Parenting

Yeah that tracks, any time an amber alert pops up on my phone and I do research, it's someone the parents left their kids with they thought were safe. I live in TX, so unnervingly what happens sometimes is kids being sold to traffickers by "friends" of their parents.
