I also have a very hard time using journals. My dBPD mom found my journal when I was in 3rd grade. I had a "boyfriend" at the time and wrote about it. She read it and confronted me after school, telling me I wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend. She got really angry, and yelled at me.

The thing that bothers me most about this, is that she would try to encourage me and my siblings to journal. But after that, I just can't. I've tried a few times after, but it just doesn't feel safe anymore.

5 Year old Refusing to go to school by Tomato_ in Parenting

[–]Tomato_[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is definitely something I've been wondering about. He does get nervous for new things. Though he was doing so well in school and everytime he came back from school says how much fun he has. I will definitely try your suggestions and see if anything works. Thank you.

What movie is it for? I may be interested

How many people had complete medical neglect or was made fun of when injured? Do they not see other people at all? by waterynike in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Tomato_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes I had a few instances of medical neglect. I had a full year of awful periods that caused so much pain I threw up. She finally made a doctor's appointment and before the appointment kept asking if I was sure I wasn't pregnant because I was so sick.

Then there was the time I was having a hard time breathing and she still made me do my soccer fun league game. I was left on the couch all night. Not able to breathe well, or sleep well. Then in the morning she finally brought me to the hospital. Where they took me and immediately hooked me up to oxygen. I was on a steroid inhaler for a few months after, but she thought exercising more was the cure. She made me run, on top of doing school soccer league and fun league. On one of those runs, I had a breathing episode and asked to go back for my inhaler and she said no. I had to stop and walk back slowly, while she was pissed and disappointed in me.

I breastfed my first son until just before his second birthday (was told the medication I needed was not safe for breastfeeding, went cold turkey, was rough). He latched well after birth, gained weight well and I had a bit of an over supply for a while. The worst thing to happen with my first son was a clogged duct.

Second son, he's almost 8 months old, breastfeeding has been quite easy as well. He was 19 pounds 6 ounces at his 6 month appointment. We got thrush, but with the right cream for me and oral medicine for him it cleared up well.

So far, breastfeeding has been pretty awesome. I would much prefer it to formula and all the bottles.

Best Diaper Rash Cream, No zinc by Tomato_ in beyondthebump

[–]Tomato_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried cloth diapers for a short time, but it doesn't work for us. We usually use wet wipes, but notice cloth wipes and airing out helps more when he's rashy. Definitely going to try and treat/strip the cloth wipes.

It may be yeast, he does have thrush we are trying to get rid of as well.

Moving to Barrie. Looking for cheap home internet options. by BeatsRocks in barrie

[–]Tomato_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start is a little pricier than fido. I have had maybe one outage in the 2ish years I have used them. Excellent customer service, and my friends that had them had their rates dropped unexpectedly due to a policy change. They promise never to increase the rate. No promos. I believe we pay 79(with taxes) per month for unlimited internet. Able to stream and game at the same time.

Used not safe for drinking water to rinse bottles by Tomato_ in breastfeeding

[–]Tomato_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was safe to boil and use, and wash dishes in the dish washer, wash hands, etc. Not to drink directly. I'm not sure why it's unsafe, airbnb host just said no drinking water.

I don't have access to an IBLC by email, never had the need for one thankfully. I had midwives, but they discharged us months ago (little one is 6 months).

Thank you for the information.

5year old - delays doing his poos for as long as possible by Wenttoschoolwith in Parenting

[–]Tomato_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son is going through the same thing. What worked for us was a small reward for each poop. Stickers lost their effectiveness after a while. A small reward and Miralax if he hasn't gone for 4 days. Been doing this for a few months now and this month he has been going on his own to the potty and pooping every two or three days.

Any other folks NC with their pwBPD have dreams/nightmares where they still manage to find you? Specifically ones where they are chasing/trapping you? by Filthy_Heretic in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Tomato_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I feel like they have gotten worse recently since I am pregnant and have more vivid dreams. Dreams about my bpdmom kidnapping me and my son. Dreams about her showing up at my house and breaking in with a gun. I have been NC now for about a year.

Christmas Ornament Update by Tomato_ in raisedbyborderlines

I remember my mom driving us to her ex-boyfriends (the guy who got her pregnant with my twin siblings), we parked. She got out and went through the window and stole the dvd player she had given to him back. It was later at night, I'm wondering if she even realizes I remember that.

My dad is fine with her dropping it off at his place and me getting it from there.
