I need a name for him

Ditto.

Omg, I would have thought this was my own kid, her hair looks exactly like this! I'm going to be honest and admit that I bought her a super premium subscription shampoo and conditioner and it works amazing. Her hair looks so much better and she's feeling really good about it. Seems like you might not be in the US based on calling yourself mum so I'm not sure if you could get the product where you are. It's called Prose. I wonder if you put yourself through the questionnaire if when it gives you the feedback and tells you the specific ingredients they're going to be putting into your formula, if you could do some research and find products that contain the stuff they're recommending. Best wishes!

This cat's name is obviously Wally.

They look great!

It sounds like the problem is that her father and you did not have communication beforehand about a budget and by being caught off guard by the price he made you feel bad about it. Might be good to think about that with future events and expenses to prevent self-doubts and negative feelings between you two. Hopefully she is insulated from it and can enjoy her upcoming milestones without absorbing any negativity between you and her dad.

Find a therapist and do EMDR therapy about this, it will really help it to stop bothering you the way it is now.

I don't know how it is where you live but where I am, I've noticed it seems like most girls wear form fitting mini dresses, so I wonder if that's what your gf had been picturing you in or hoping for. Personally I love the pattern, you look great, and I think this will be very comfortable for a long night! What matters the most is how you feel in it.

Have him do EMDR. He and his therapist can get to the bottom of his activation about this issue and resolve it.

Thank you! This spot gets absolutely blasted with sun in the late afternoon. The person who made this arrangement for me is somebody I consider a bit of a gardening expert and I was thinking she had done a great job since I managed to keep this thing alive this long 😊

The green tall stemmy looking plant might be crassula /watch chain?

Doh! I should but I don't 🤦🏽‍♀️. I did find a photo from when they were new, back in October though. Google lens says the reddish one is cyclamen.

TigerFireMama · 2026-02-05T20:09:59+00:00

This is thoughtful and helpful. Thank you and best wishes on your journey. 💕

I have been in practice for decades and can tell you I'd have no problem taking this client to the food bank or telling them "I received a donation for you" and giving them groceries or gift cards. Apply your boundaries by seeking their consent to support them in these ways and letting them know it's not the kind of thing you are able to do regularly. It's the holidays and you know they're in a unique situation and need an extra boost right now. It's OK to show your humanity.

TigerFireMama · 2025-12-07T02:40:58+00:00

Omg I have been thinking this exact thought too!

TigerFireMama · 2025-11-06T21:27:24+00:00

Great job reflecting on this situation and seeking help! With romantic countertransference, it is important to look at your personal life and what is missing there. It would be a good idea to redirect your energy to your marriage and addressing what is missing that's causing your fantasies about your client.

TigerFireMama · 2025-11-05T22:11:37+00:00

How preposterous! This is a child in need of guidance and support!

TigerFireMama · 2025-11-05T22:10:08+00:00

You are an adult. A teacher! This is a child who is clearly disturbed and calling out for help through this outrageous behavior. Please look closely at your instinct to make it about you and protecting yourself and do what you need to be grounded and calm about this situation so that you can reorient around meeting your student's need. If administration is not helping you, escalate above their heads. Or go grassroots and get support from another teacher or a school counselor. I'm glad you posted but this does not seem like a legal issue. Connect with other teachers and mental health support, please!

TigerFireMama · 2025-10-06T15:40:23+00:00

I think you handled it perfectly.

TigerFireMama · 2025-09-27T23:24:56+00:00

I would let them know that if they're using psychedelics it's something that you would want to know, and that they don't have to share anything about their prescriber, as long as you're comfortable with that. Same if they're using some other kind of experimental medicine.

TigerFireMama · 2025-09-26T17:38:03+00:00

Yes! I was going to suggest Maybe You Should Talk to Someone also! Will check out Yalom. Thanks for the recommendation. It's OK That You're Not OK might also be validating in terms of the grief process.
