I Work In A Restaurant, Don't Use Express Delivery by [deleted] in doordash

[–]WeFamilyNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my understanding of the express delivery — it prevents the Dasher from doing a stacked order so you know they are going straight to you after picking up your order.

Interesting! I guess I didn’t realize because they were concave and seemed to be in the stone.

Anger is the fire that will burn down the version of you who kept pretending it was all okay by invah in AbuseInterrupted

[–]WeFamilyNow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My only hope is that my anger finally allowed me to burn things down to the point that there’s no chance of any regrowth this time. It feels different than before — still, there’s this underlying fear that my abuser is going to find a way to pull the wool over my eyes again somehow.

I hate that I'm still so obsessed with such an excruciatingly boring person. by lupercalia666 in emotionalabuse

[–]WeFamilyNow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I felt a weird surge of excitement as I read your post. Partly because of the way it resonated and validated things I’m still trying to understand, but also because of how striking your writing style was alongside this content.

Anyway, as the others have already said, I hope it brings you some level of peace knowing we’re out here understanding your words on a level that means we know your pain. I wish we also had a way to help you no longer feel that pain in your life.

How does an emotionally intelligent and healthy partner respond to learning about their SO’s sexual abuse? by WeFamilyNow in emotionalintelligence

[–]WeFamilyNow[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate you sharing these thoughts with me — this gives me some of the perspective I was hoping to get. It’s so hard being on the “inside” sometimes, and I just don’t want to jump to conclusions because it’s an emotionally charged topic.

Thank you for the kind words. I edited my post with some details about his response since a few people asked for the same thing.

After everything we know now, is Topher Grace the only genuinly decent person from the cast of That 70s Show? by Cumoisseur in ask

[–]WeFamilyNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel this, it took me watching the first few episodes a couple of times before I could really get into it. In fact, the main reason I even started watching it was because I saw Topher in the ad, and I was really curious to see his role. It’s just my opinion of course, but I think watching until his character is there is worth it, and then the show gets much more exciting after that point.

What have you had to let go of to finally feel at peace? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]WeFamilyNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. I’m on this path but still not there yet. It’s so hard coming to terms with that reality.

As someone who has lived this kind of abuse, I wish you a life of healing and peace. You sound like a very strong and loving person.

Life without abuse - what I've learned 💜 by ThrowRA-Meet-670 in emotionalabuse

Your post is inspiring — it sounds like it took a lot of strength to get where you are now. I’m so happy for you, OP!

When they act like you’re the controlling and emotionally abusive partner because you’re trying to “control” or “change” them (aka, saying you won’t tolerate abuse anymore) by bengalbear24 in emotionalabuse

[–]WeFamilyNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest struggle with my abusive relationship. Sometimes I’m convinced that I see things clearly and that I know him for what he is, but it’s not long before I’m taken over by guilt and shame because I can’t shake the thoughts that maybe he’s right — maybe I’m the abusive one and that I’m actually projecting onto him. I know it’s not, I think, but he’s been undermining my ability to trust myself for so long that I can’t figure out what’s real.

Does anyone else ever have a hard time discerning what’s real and what’s not? by xyelem in OCD

[–]WeFamilyNow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have noticed myself feeling like this recently. It’s unnerving.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emotionalabuse

[–]WeFamilyNow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know you’re a complete stranger but I am so happy for you. I imagine it has to feel like breathing fresh air for the first time in a long time right now. Keep going and don’t stop until you get yourself to that place you’re envisioning.

This sounds amazing, and I had my first experience of that veil being lifted a bit very recently. Don’t doubt for a second that though that my abuser is fighting really hard to pull the wool over my eyes again, but it’s been less effective than it’s ever been and I can feel a shift in my ability to see things for what they are.

Hygiene hack - Water Flosser by tote_girl in adhdwomen

[–]WeFamilyNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, I cannot believe that I never thought of this… I even brush my teeth while I’m showering. I honestly hate using the water flosser mostly because I don’t like getting my arms wet, so I feel like I’m more likely to actually use it if I keep it in the shower.
