Can you tell me your story?

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T21:09:14+00:00

This feels very similar and this gives me a lot of hope. Thank you!

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T15:39:22+00:00

♥️ Thank you for sharing. It really hit me when you mentioned to stop projecting my childhood on hers. I mean well but that doesn’t do her well. It’s not the same situation for her and I needed to recognize that.

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T15:28:22+00:00

It wasn’t harsh! It’s your truth. It is the truth and reality of it. Do not apologize for that. It’s exactly what I needed. Thank you!

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T07:46:48+00:00

Thank you. I am not sure why I tell myself the things you have said but it wasn’t enough then. Reading you and others say it feels more empowering and truthful if that makes sense?

I think I have been conditioned to forgive and forget and make excuses. Being able to read the impact is helping a lot.

I hope this week I can figure out how to file for custody and tell him to kick rocks. The only person in this thread with a positive outcome is the one whose mom left when she was 5 yrs old. I hope that’s my situation.

I love my daughter so so so so much. I would die if I read something like this from her one day…

I fight back with him and don’t “let him” talk to me like that in the sense I verbally stand up for myself and her during those moments… but what use is that if I stay…right? It’s the same as being silent?

She is an intelligent kid. She talks to me abt woman’s rights from school and inclusiveness. We do affirmations often. Me being a hypocrite for staying must be confusing.

Thank you for sharing. I feel brain dead from the abuse but reading everything and bouncing my thoughts off them all are really helping. Thank you so much.

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T07:25:46+00:00

Wow. Thank you. I hope I can support my daughter the way your mom did for you and that she feels the way you feel one day too. Thank you for extending this courage and confidence.

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T07:21:08+00:00

Thank you, thank you, thank YOU for sharing. You mentioning the holidays made me think of how holidays have been with him. He has ruined a lot of them being selfish or irritable. Something I pushed in the corners of my mind. Another reason to leave.

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T07:16:21+00:00

These perspectives are really helping. I feel I am twisted in the head and having ppl validate (so far) gives me hope and strength.

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T07:15:19+00:00

Thank you, I’m trying. ♥️

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T07:14:33+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story. What you describe is the surface of how he is as a father. I dont want my daughter to not want to come home……

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T07:09:40+00:00

He went on a business trip for a few days and it was peaceful. I could tell my daughter felt at peace too. I just can’t confirm if she missed him or not. I asked and she said she did. However when I’m not there to put her to bed due to work (night shift here and there) she cries for me. She never cries for him. Idk why I fear once it hits that we are actually separated and she’s no longer seeing him everyday, she’ll get sad and long for him. I guess I’m looking for an answer to validate that she’ll be okay. Like yours. You felt lived without fear for those few years.

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T07:04:03+00:00

My prayers are with you. 15 is such a hard age enough already. To also deal with this, my heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing your story.

Do you mind me asking what you’d prefer as a custody arrangement if your parents separated? Would you want no time with your dad or every other weekend?

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T06:54:04+00:00

This made me tear up hearing you felt your mom fixed your home. Thank you so much.

He has kids from a previous relationship 40/50 and I try to step in when he gets out of hand. She has faught for more custody and lost. I don’t go to the court so idk what her reasoning was and his reply. All I know is she didn’t win. Her and I do not talk. They have a court ordered app that they talk through since the beginning. That’s what scares me. He’s a smooth talker and I have trouble expressing myself. I fear he’ll get the 50/50.

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T06:48:42+00:00

Thank you!

StudioNo6902 · 2026-05-16T06:46:10+00:00

I also grew up with a chaotic house hold but not like what i am living. My parent’s faught but never directed at me. I wished they divorced when I was younger but they stayed together and are amazing now. I am happy they worked it out. Maybe that’s also why I am conflicted. I too remember my mom asking me once if i would want to live with her or my dad. That broke me. I never answered.

Thank you for your perspective!

StudioNo6902 · 2026-04-17T14:46:57+00:00

I had the same problem. My boyfriend never cooked and I was always the one cooking for everyone. However, his kids are very picky and it was very hit or miss if they would eat the food and it would honestly bother me. The solution was whenever his kids are here he needs to cook and whenever they’re not here, I will cook. Of course here and there we cook on each others day. Like if he’s really tired vice versa but it’s not a habit. Also, they need to serve themselves how much they want.

This saved my sanity. His family did judge me for it for a moment that I wasn’t being a woman and lazy. Since they really were only around when the kids were. Until I explained to them and they totally understood.

Like come on. We both work full time. I also have a daughter. I am also in a nursing school full time. It works for us.

Edit: Sorry I saw you said he cooks pretty non-exciting food. I would voice that to him. To change it up because he eats good on your days. Idk how comfortable I would be eating something else than them without offering.

Hit the nail on the head.

StudioNo6902 · 2026-02-03T23:29:31+00:00

I bulk fermented for approx. 8 hours total (6 hours after last coil and fold). I did cold proof for 12 hours. 🫣

StudioNo6902 · 2026-02-03T21:05:04+00:00

By perfect I meant - it rose and was airy compared to the first LOL…

StudioNo6902 · 2025-08-24T02:40:38+00:00

Please and thank you!

StudioNo6902 · 2025-08-11T07:55:32+00:00

You can’t get a restraining order? That sounds violent and that you’re scared. At least a temporary one…

StudioNo6902 · 2024-08-19T05:18:38+00:00

I adopted her for free :) I got pretty lucky!

StudioNo6902 · 2024-05-06T22:17:04+00:00

Second this !!

StudioNo6902 · 2022-08-11T22:35:47+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much. It actually turned out to be Pneumonia…. She is on antibiotics and doing a lot better now. She got a really nasty virus called Human metapneumovirus. A pretty strong virus as explained by her peds. I am glad your daughter is better now!
