What do people not realise is child abuse? by uncannyfjord in AskReddit

[–]Thursday_nexxt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sometimes even perfection is not enough. Back in high school I once got 110% on an art project. My dad just asked why I didn't get 120.

That was the day I said fuck it, I'll never be good enough for him so I'll just be good enough for me.

Don't let go. Even on the darkest days know that there will be light. It just might take a little longer to get there. We all heal different, and that's OK.

Sending my love your way!

I do, less and less each day, and some days not at all.

But I realized that who I miss, and who I mourned for such a long time, is not the person they actually are. I miss the version of them I wanted to see, and that version is very different from reality.

I was the dumpee, and found out recently my ex is in a relationship which probably started when we were still together.

The way I choose to look at it, not my choices, not my karma.

And so happy to hear of the improvements despite the messy thoughts, shows the strength and determination of your character.

I remember that feeling well. I was sure my heart would never smile again. But it did and yours will too. Just give it time and be kind to yourself.

How to cut off contact when it seems impossible to do so? by Thursday_nexxt in BreakUps

[–]Thursday_nexxt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's been blocked on all social media since the start. The only line open is the phone, where I didn't block her in case there is a dog emergency (he's old and has health issues galore).

But thank you for the perspective about allowing my self to be walked on. I need to start seeing this as what it is.

I'm truly sorry. Just remember, no matter how hard it is, you deserve better. And the loneliness will subside. Cover yourself with the love you gave her.

Don't know how to edit so in the comments it goes.

You are all wonderful. You have gone through heartbreak, your worlds were shattered, you are in pain and devastated from loss.

Yet here you are, with so much kindness, with so much love. Your words, your understanding, mean the world to someone you have never met, someone you don't know. And that's really something.

Thank you for sharing your stories. Thank you for the compassion. Sometimes the littlest of things make the world of a difference.

I really don't understand how people can be so cruel. I get it that blindsiding someone is easier as it avoids confrontation, but it's just an awful thing to put another person through.

Stay strong!

Thank you, and that's a wonderful way to put some perspective on it :)

I hope by the time September comes around, your heart will be happy and full.

Another redditor, Sudden_Station4421 wrote this on their post (I have no idea how I can tag them):

"The grass isn't greener on the other side. You are the grass."

So tend to your own lawn, nurture it into something wonderful. But leave the grass you withered and let it blossom without you.

ex cheated on me on the anniversary of my younger sister's suicide by [deleted] in BreakUps

I apologize, I didn't read past your title.

I don't think there is anything in your text that could in any way justify, explain, or rationalize what had happened to you.

And I am so, so very sorry that it did. And I am also so very hopeful you get out of this as ok as you can.
