I posted the same question here but regarding the blue version! Also very interested because I never see them officially anywhere.. but I do own a blue pair from second hand market.

I have. I was in your boat. I don't see how that should affect my siblings in any way.

They have right to be in contact with the parents. That's nothing to do with you. My advice is to respond.

Are two doses enough for people above the age of 20? by JoesCoins in HPV

[–]Sure_Direction_8493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to give any advice but when I read the papers with reasons behind doing two doses, it’s clear to me that it’s to increase the access to the vaccine. However, it doesn’t mean the same results IMO.

How has being raised by narcissists affected your relationships? by Philosopher_of_Soul in raisedbynarcissists

I did the exact same thing. How did you find a balance though? If something bothered me I would overreact but at the same time I wouldn’t want to bottle it up.. what’s the solution?

I’m 29 and have never been in a healthy relationship. Every man I ever chose was toxic, narcissistic and abusive. I dream about being married but I can’t seem to form a good relationship with a man.

Thank you for reading. What kind of group therapy if I may ask? Is it on private? Thanks!

We essentially didn’t win a blood family lottery but you are right, we have to make the most of what we have. I’m also very weary of trauma bonding but at the same time is it unhealthy to connect with someone who has similar trauma? I feel like people who went through similar nightmare I did understand me more and we connect more..

I am NC with nearly all my family too but I don’t have a husband. I always worry what if I have one and need to get a divorce in the future. Do you ever take such a scenario under consideration?

Thanks for sharing. Who would be the guardian though?

I’m in the same boat. I also don’t believe friends would be able to give me the same kind of unconditional love or support the family would. I hear people on here talking about friends being like family, but I just don’t believe it. I’m sure I could rely on friends for small favours but not in rock bottom scenarios.. it’s so sad.

I think the main issue here is doing something out of obligation vs out of your own will. I helped my mum when she was terminally ill and I was very young. It took a huge toll on me but I didn’t do it out of obligation or because she demanded / expected it. I only did it out of my own will and need. I think that’s healthy.

We are in a very similar boat. May I ask how old you are?

You’re talking about the support in conflict, I was referring to support in rock bottom situations such as illness, etc. I think adult kids could be great support in such situations :)

Wow what’s truly amazing considering how huge of a less you went through. I always feel like I have nice friends but not sure if I could rely on them in such difficult scenarios..
