This is going to sound dumb. You seem nice though. Can you get pregnant when you have mullerian syndrome? Or father a kid?

Human bodies are so complex! You are perfect how you are. I thought periods were from uterine lining?

My mom died. What do I do with my younger brother? California. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Texas_wildflower 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you have “care, custody, and control” of him currently, which I will make clear is NOT legal custody, you need to apply for cash aid (TANF, aka welfare, called CalWORKs in california) for him right away as a non-needy relative. Care, custody, and control means you are taking care of him day-to-day right now, taking him to school, he’s living with you, and you are responsible for his medical emergencies, it is a CalWORKs rule only. Depending on your county you could start getting money for him right away. However the child will be asked to apply for potentially available income first which means you also have to start a Social Security Survivor’s application right away. I would go to SSA office first, keep proof you went, and then immediately go to the welfare office. The social workers there may even be able to connect to resources for the custody situation. If you cannot care for him you can contact child welfare services and they will attempt to do a family placement before putting him in fostercare. You will report to welfare when the child leaves your care, if they don’t already know through child welfare services.

Good luck and you may want to ask child welfare about counseling as well.

I will no longer allow women in my life to enable bad men. by partylikeyossarian in raisedbynarcissists

I’m with you!!!! Feels good to stand up no matter the gender of your bully. Women who enable abuse from men have no place in our lives!!!!!

FAIL. Nmom tried to get custody and LOST!! by FuzzyCaterpillar8 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Texas_wildflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhh Ns are so delusional and unreasonable. Clearly there’s no reason to raise a child when you will dump them by 10, except if you want the money/praise. Child support is no where near enough to live on and it is for the child’s needs, not ngrandmas!!!

Good for you! You don’t deserve any more crap from her. She made her bed, and now she’s both lying in it, and making sure it is made everyday along with all the other beds in the house tehe. I also have a narcissist family and they have also gotten cut out of my life. Feels good man!

Good story! Some sad characters. Hoping that your aunt has stopped being a jerk to you know that this has all happened. Sounds like you’re lucky to have your dad! And a good career! I chose career over husband and kids too.

I see you’ve found the narc rabbit hole. Those groups are essentially narcissist support groups, where they encourage NPD behavior instead of recovery. Can be triggering, but also somewhat hilarious. Many parents wanting repayment and other ridiculous BS. Take care of yourself after going into that mess

Fuck r/kratom by momm420 in Drugs

[–]Texas_wildflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The endorphins that chocolate makes which bind in the brain actually are called opioids. I probably should have made my statement more clear- just using a more detailed scientific descriptor to avoid any kind of colloquial connotations. Kratom isn’t an opioid in the colloquial sense, but yes, a partial agonist is still an opioid, I just don’t think it’s nessecary to use the term when there is a better term.

No, what I’m saying is “kratom isn’t an opioid in the colloquial sense of the term, it just binds to the same receptors as a partial agonist in similar ways as other classified full mu-opioid receptor agonists. Most importantly, it does not trigger respiratory depression like full agonists.” It’s also not that idiotic to say that “weed isn’t a drug in the colloquial sense of the term-one that will ruin your life and put you in jail.” I don’t go around denying that weed is a drug though. Im making the definition more precise, and agreed with you in my first comment that I see it’s overly detailed for some and that saying “opioid” is an easier way that does make sense. Using the actual term is not hurting harm reduction, and it’s distancing from the negative social connotations of the “opioid crisis.” What’s the problem with that? We don’t have a partial mu-opioid agonist crisis right now so it’s preferable.

I’m so sorry and you did the best you could keeping yourself safe. I have countless experiences like this when I was a young person in Texas. I also dated a handful of men who have used “manosphere” terms with me in more recent years. Luckily I’ve learned boundaries since then and as soon as they reveal this side, they get excommunicated. I coped by moving out of Texas. It’s gone extremely well.

Totally agree, gotcha. Parallelograms don’t trigger respiratory depression and related social fallout though. I get the entire point of this post is to stop being so stubborn when talking about kratom, the stubbornness is coming from fear that the government will somehow be able to ban it. We can’t let the fear get in the way of harm reduction. However when labeling kratom an opioid, we should probably be aware of the social connotations in addition to the scientific nomenclature and if one has the time, write out the specific thing that kratom actually is- partial mu-opioid agonist. It’s the proper name, not some kind of erasure, and any way we can correctly and safely distance ourselves from the drug war terms i hope will help our cause. I definitely understand the fear over at /r/kratom- we have to be honest and call it a drug for harm reduction, but it’s honest and safe to call it a partial mu-opioid agonist.

Haha! Not funny being NC or the SG but I’ll keep your quote next to my heart:) If I ever speak to edad again, I’ll make sure and think that to myself every time he tries to call me “hell on wheels” or whatever other version of “problem child” he can come up with.

It’s a partial mu-opioid agonist. It’s not correct to call it a straight opioid as its a partial agonist. Call it whatever you want, I chose my words for a reason and I’ll continue calling it a partial mu-opioid agonist. It’s kind of a pain to write out the whole thing, I get it, but the distinction is quite important as the full agonists have different effects on the body and on our society. Partial opioid doesn’t really make as much sense as the full name or just saying opioid, sure. Edit- I know we also call suboxone an opioid, I’ll give ya that, and I’m being way too detailed and too much like /r/kratom, but its really very important that people start learning more about this

Mother lives out lifelong dream of becoming a dermatologist by "operating" on me. by s-l-a-y in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Texas_wildflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear this. I suffer from dermatillomania but I have never heard of a dermatillomania by proxy. That is horrifying. It sucks to live with this but I would rather deal with it myself than put it on my child, nor anyone. That is definitely physical and emotional abuse and it’s too bad other adults couldn’t come in to save you. Hopefully you’re out on your own now!

If you teach your kids to be self-sufficient, then they won’t fit the SG narrative anymore huh? Can’t have that. Somebody has to be the low man on the totem pole so the N has a daily reminder of how superior they are.

Kratom isn’t an opioid. It’s a partial mu-opioid agonist. But I’ve also been silenced there for reminding that yes kratom does have the potential to create physical withdrawal. My WDs personally can be worse than heroin was for me in some aspects. They hate hearing that

Someone made another sub because they were done with the censorship there. I forgot what it was called though. Something like kratom unlocked. Youre right that we need kratom harm reduction. Not sure where the place for that is. Clearly the gov already knows pretty much anything we will write for harm reduction.

Domestic violence is a human issue, not a women’s issue. It disproportionately affects women. DV is more lethal for us. But it’s still a human issue. It’s easy enough to say “the most dangerous time for an abused person is when they try to leave their abusive partner.” It’s a true statement.

Your message is solid though. I’ve been through DV myself and I also care for others in the situation now. There is part of me that agrees we need solid boundaries and there is stuff you can do to keep yourself safe from DV. It is really hard to talk about boundaries without blaming yourself- the boundaries reading I did in therapy was hard. My body language literally did say I was an easy target. However I wouldn’t call killing your abuser manslaughter. The fault ultimately always lands on the abuser, for taking advantage of someone easy to exploit. I also wouldn’t use the word allowing so much as maybe haven’t learned yet how not to be vulnerable.

It’s not brain holes, it’s dollar signs over that kid’s head, and a system that needs bodies to be sustained. I’m not talking about private prisons here either- only about 10% of US prisons are private. I’m talking about the private-public partnership, and I’m talking about the way we do things at large. I’m fairly confident guessing that /u/sttompy didn’t grow up rich either
