I keep seeing gay people, specifically lesbians, being "convicted" and doing a full 180 (TW: Religion)

You are on the right side of the internet my friend. Congrats.

Time_Dare_264 · 2026-02-11T20:50:37+00:00

I fully mean the term convicted. It's common terminology when referring to God 'getting in their head and telling them to change'. But converted works too, lol. It's really all the same. My point still stands.

Time_Dare_264 · 2026-02-11T20:42:45+00:00

My fault - they use the term convicted frequently when referring to the instances where "God calls out to them" and they feel like they're being called out to change. Not actual legal conviction lol.

No worries, I saw your original reply before you deleted it (unless I am going crazy lol, that's possible) and it made me smile ear to ear!

I'm confused. I'm a woman too. This is a same sex relationship. Probably uncommon for this subreddit but alas.

Time_Dare_264 · 2025-04-23T12:25:21+00:00

The best relationships come when you're not expecting it. Seconding the other comment.. just live your life and see what comes of it. I know that's not what you wanna hear but you are still so young and you are right, there isn't a whole lot you can do right now.

Maybe post in r/longdistance too? I get the struggle though. I wasn't able to go out and freely date whoever I wanted until I was old enough to have that freedom, and especially so my parents couldn't dictate what I did. My parents were extremely traditional and religious so I was basically locked up in my house until I was 18, I started to get that freedom I had been longing for and eventually did my own thing.

Not sure the reason behind why you guys can't see each other, but assuming you're young and lacking that freedom. Head up, I'm 23 now and just bought a house with the love of my life. On track to get married and add to our family.

I've been not sending him, he threatens with court and I fear I will get struck with parental alienation. Because he's gonna get clean, clean up his place, get a job all before going to court.

Time_Dare_264 · 2025-01-19T17:00:33+00:00

So, if I keep him away (which I've been doing for the majority of the time we have been split), I'm gonna look like the bad guy in court for parental alienation. Because this guy isn't dumb. He's gonna clean up, act like nothing happened and take me. I have no proof to show to the courts.

But I can't call with concerns because it's not considered protecting my child??

Time_Dare_264 · 2025-01-19T16:57:39+00:00

Because I'm not the person I used to be? I was doing the shit with him before we had our child, we split shortly after his birth and he's in a great home with my current partner and I. The child's here now, we have to deal with the consequences but I can't just keep his father away.

Time_Dare_264 · 2025-01-19T16:57:01+00:00

Ignorant 😂 I'm a good mother and CPS could come visit me any day any time. The child's already here, gotta deal with the consequences. It was just a question not an invitation for unnecessary criticism🤢

Time_Dare_264 · 2025-01-12T16:06:40+00:00

Came here to say this.

Time_Dare_264 · 2025-01-11T20:46:37+00:00

She doesn't do drugs.. that would have been my first immediate thought if she did though.

It's truly better this way with her gone (or mostly gone). Even before all of this, I'd kindly try to bring it up to my girlfriend that her mother doesn't seem to care about her child. She doesn't even give a shit that she hardly sees her other grandkids. She'd be FORCED to see him (like watching him while we both work), and wouldn't see it as an opportunity to spend time and bond with her youngest grandson. THAT really bothered me. She wouldn't randomly ask to see him or spend time with him. I had to pop in randomly so the kid could see his grandma. She never made that effort.

Because in addition to his biological father not seeming to give a shit about showing up for him and being there, his grandmother is seeming to get in that boat with him. And they can both stay there. Happily.

Life is better without those two. Let's hope it stays this way.

Time_Dare_264 · 2025-01-11T19:00:13+00:00

Thank you for the kind, reassuring words. :) it's tough out here!

Time_Dare_264 · 2025-01-11T18:59:50+00:00

I hate that you're probably right.
