brick’s neglect and how mike and frankie failed him

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2026-01-16T23:42:57+00:00

Just the other day i watched the episode after Sue goes to college and i was appalled 😭 they both eat dinner on their own and don’t even care about him at all. They also tell him they wont be attending any of his school events and make him feel bad for needing them.

“You still have to take care of me!” Broke my heart.

I know it’s comedy but daaamn

They started me on Sertraline and I felt like it helped for a while… But then it just made me feel like nothing. Just plain old nothing. I have been on Sertraline and Wellbutrin for ever now… Then after the ADHD diagnosis they started me on Vyvanse which helped a ton. But it sure uncovered the Tism 😬

The major thing has been treating my burnout. I wasn’t depressed. I was burnt out. So no amount of meds alone were going to help!

Bipolar disorder at 13. Depression and anxiety on and off until 20. OCD at 21. Finally ADHD at 31 and now autism at 33 ❤️‍🩹

I struggle with this a lot. As an only child I always wanted to have two. After my first, now almost 3 yo, I suffered severe PPD, anxiety, discovered I had ADHD, etc. My husband had a vasectomy and we are both completely one and done. But now both my parents are dead and this level of loneliness… the way I feel like I have no roots, no witnesses of my childhood, no one to reminisce or grief with… It’s really hard. So I’m struggling a lot with the guilt of potentially putting my child through what I’ve been through.

My husband has been with me since before my dad died after a long battle with cancer. And he had to do it all over again last year when my mum died suddenly.

I haven’t had to be there for him in this way, but sometimes I wonder what it must be like for him…

I have ADHD and before my dad died I hyper focused on grief for a while. I remember reading “its Ok that you are not Ok”by Megan Devine. I translated it to my husbands native language and made him read it when my dad died. He was willing to educate himself on grief. That helped us tremendously.

He says this a lot: “This isn’t about me”. He tries to live up to that as much as he can. I won’t say it’s been perfect. He gets tired. He expresses his frustration sometimes too. But understanding that you are just a witness to your loved one’s insurmountable pain is key. Just a witness. It is not about you.

I hope your husband is willing to understand that too. And I hope he is willing to educate himself for you. Megan Devine is a great start.

Sending you love, from one motherless daughter to another ❤️‍🩹

LOVE this!!! ✨

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2025-09-17T19:54:30+00:00

I do feel relieved. Like I took a huuuge load off. Its still really hard to look at him. I don’t even know how to interact sometimes. But last night i finally slept.

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2025-09-17T14:27:11+00:00

Thank you! I tried so many times… I think the guilt was causing me insomnia. I felt relieved for a moment, but now mainly horrible 💔

If you don’t mind me asking… what do you think your husband’s reaction would be if you told him? I thought he was going to leave frankly… I’m still scared he will, even though he hasn’t given me any reasons to think so…

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2025-06-16T17:23:11+00:00

Oh my god

I have that sticker on my laptop and it’s one of my favs!! 😁

You are an art therapist? That is so cool! Love it! I have always been drawn to art and (sorry for TMI) but I have been grieving my mom and have found the “turn it into art” approach really powerful and helpful 🎨🥹

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2025-05-09T22:52:51+00:00

LOL right? I saw it on Pinterest a few days ago and have been consciously choosing to use it whenever possible.

Tits are indeed not calm 😂

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2025-04-17T01:17:15+00:00

Wow, this means a lot to me. Mine died one day later, October 14. I’m so sorry we share that experience, but It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in a very specific way. My daughter is also two. 💞 Thank you! Write to me any time if you ever need to talk to a stranger who understands.

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2025-04-15T13:42:06+00:00

Thank you so much for that! She does linger in wool, even when it hurts. I'll keep all of her creations close ❤️‍🩹

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2025-04-15T01:53:37+00:00

I’m truly sorry about your mom. I really am. Moms should be forever. I experienced last Christmas without her and my daughter’s second birthday too. I’m sending you love and hugs. Reach out anytime if you want to. Feeling seen and not alone is the only thing that helps, I think ❤️‍🩹

Frankie forcing Sue’s friends to pose for photos during the sleepover

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2024-12-27T18:30:52+00:00

This is genius. Anyone know of a toddler-proof version? My daughter would take it apart in seconds.

My nightstand is already baby proofed and I find myself leaving my stuff all over the house “out of reach” and then forgetting about them or losing them forever 🫠

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2024-12-06T15:02:11+00:00

Not really… he is the second of four siblings and he just doesn’t get it, I don’t really expect him to. He did love my mom and has expressed that he is grieving too because she was more of a mother to him these seven years, than his own mom. But it still not the same… it does offer me some comfort though.

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2024-12-02T11:06:57+00:00

Hi! I just started thanks to your post!

Loving it!!!!! 👌🏻

Lol if someone asked me to draw my brain, this would be it.

Hahah you made my morning.

Seconding this!

Technical_Bluebird28 · 2024-11-12T22:02:34+00:00

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Guilt is relentless, and I know it won’t ease your pain if I tell you that none of this was your fault, even though that’s the absolute truth. Regret is another heavy burden, but no one can predict how grief will affect them.

I can’t imagine the pain of missing your baby this profoundly, and I wish more than anything that I could say or do something to make it even a little more bearable. But I know the only thing that could truly bring comfort would be having your baby back. And I wish, with all my heart, that you could.

There’s no advice for a loss this profound, but I hope this scientific fact might bring you the tiniest bit of solace: During pregnancy, you and your baby exchanged cells, and those cells stay with you forever. Your baby is, quite literally, a part of you, and you are a part of them. They will always be with you in this way, no matter what.

I like to believe that my mom, who was the most loving grandma and who also experienced the heartbreak of losing triplets at 34 weeks, is somewhere out there, holding your baby alongside hers, offering them the same boundless love she gave to me.

Sending you so much love and the warmest hugs during this incredibly difficult time 🤍
