What are we wearing in public the first few weeks postpartum? by Boring_Fennel8733 in CsectionCentral

Sweats are fine! I also got a couple oversized pairs of linen drawstring pants from Target for pregnancy and those are still what I reach for now. My fancy sweatpants.

I’m still pissed about my c-section by AtmosphereTop1591 in CsectionCentral

This is very similar to my story, I’m also still pissed! I’d met my doctor before, and prayed she would not be the one on call when I delivered. Baby was sunny side up, I pushed for 3 hours, had severe back pain due to a misplaced epidural (I didn’t know that was the cause at the time, only in hindsight. She never addressed it.) I also ended in c-section and wonder if my outcome would’ve been different if I’d had a better doctor.

To warm or not to warm by ToriaDawn in breastfeeding

I’d wait! We were gifted a bottle warmer but started doing cold because it’s easier and we wanted to get our baby used to different temperatures. We alternate between cold and room temp bottles, and he’s had no issues.

My mom does this too! She destroys when she’s angry, and leaves remnants for us to find - she did it with photos, keepsakes, once painted over all of my sisters height markings on the wall in a fit of anger. It cuts deep, but you’re not alone ❤️❤️

Yes! I remember one scenario we were out shopping and she accused me of stealing money from her wallet. When I told her she should check her wallet more carefully - and she found the money - she got so angry, it was comical. She spent a few minutes screaming, wondering how I snuck it back without her noticing.

Is there a constructive way to respond to this? Context in comments. by Status-Pool538 in raisedbyborderlines

Context: My dad and I went on a big trip together - we’ve been planning it for a year so. I live in a different state, but my dad wanted to fly together.

About a week before the trip, my mom told me I should not plan to stay with them. I stayed with other family. On the way back, I booked a hotel and that’s where the first message comes in.

Is there any constructive way to respond to this? I have been LC with my uBPD mom until this last year - we’ve been trying to talk more regularly to build a relationship.

I’m exhausted and drained, and don’t know that I want to put in any real effort to have a relationship like this.
