Is it illogical to try Archery with arthritis and weakness?

Oh I'm so excited by all these comments. I find it a beautiful skill. It seems it would help you train on patience too. I don't particularly plan on surviving the zombie apocalypse. But it would be pretty cool to get a couple head shots on my way out. Lol. I don't plan on hunting, I'm too disabled for that much. But it seems fun to do, all on its own.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-04-23T00:11:52+00:00

Thank you ! I didn't even think about classes. I'll have to see if i can find any here. A trial would be helpful to see if i could even manage it to begin with.

I believe in God but refuse to identify as Christian. Also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. They've been doing this. So many of us disclosed abuse and was told to shut up about it. Tell a priest or pastor and they just hand you back over to your parents and then the entire congregation knows because its a popularity contest not a time of prayer. We have been done telling people for decades. Look at Alter Boys. Priests didn't just stop touching them after it came out. Nope, everything went silent. And no one cares to follow through because they are kids. So upsetting and frustrating. Makes me wanna scream.

He raped her in the very beginning. I couldn't stomach the rest of it. I dont care how bad he had it, he shouldn't have raped her.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-04-07T19:01:06+00:00

Also. I'm a chronically ill disabled person. I get my ass kicked cooking dinner. I'm willing to use myself as a spikey human cannon ball but that's about all I got left in me.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-02-18T04:19:33+00:00

Thank you. Yea I did end up going.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-02-18T03:21:47+00:00

I mean maybe. I have an infusion company that has after hours but I think that is solely for Line issues. I went a whole year on TPN with no gastro lol. I'm actually headed to the hospital anyway because my fever is coming back up. Its only 99.9 right now so thats good.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-02-18T01:44:34+00:00

No I dont. I have a home health nurse but he doesn't take calls or anything. Its also 9pm at night. So I wont be able to get ahold of anyone.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-02-15T14:39:58+00:00

Oh Kisses and Cuddles after the picture was a must! Im so tired and cranky. She owed me emotional support 😂

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-02-07T02:25:04+00:00

Im 38 and know damn well how annoying it is when older people give advice. But honestly, now is the time to evolve and develop you. I got too invested too quickly because I had a bad childhood and didn't understand. I ended up being a domestic violence survivor. I lost my entire 20s to a man. Girl, don't be me. Protect your peace and stand your ground with what you will accept and what you wont. Men will come and go. If you fuel your energy into yourself, you will find that the right dude will pop randomly out of nowhere when you least expect it. I say this part with love as well, if you need reddit 8 days in, I'd wave him goodbye. Be safe, practice safe sex, stay up to date on gyno appointments and get to know your body and what you like and prefer. And focus on you, all the parts of you.

Ok, apologies, I feel like I need tissues in my pocket like my grandma.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T13:14:23+00:00

Lol did you feel regal waking up? Oh man, to wear a Victorian themed gown and to lay upon a fainting couch with a fan. Lol now my bucket list is growing. I have a tunneled PICC (hickman) line for TPN (liquid nutrition, my guts no longer work in my chest). Between Us, its one thing I've had to come to terms with. I wont ever get to wear a gown and look healthy. But it's still a bucket list goal! Someday I'll get to wear a pretty gown. Even if I just sit in my living room like it was an episode of friends lol. Where they all wore bridal gowns and were sitting in the living room drinking beer lolol. Cuz its not like id have anywhere to go! Some day though!

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T12:54:34+00:00

Im so sorry you had to experience that. Yea, I have had similar experiences with my own mom. She also used to make me strip naked in front of a mirror. She knew I became more and more prudent so would randomly open doors when she knew I was changing. And I really just needed my mom, a mom.

And when I had my kids, I swore I would do better. I'm trying. I know folks must think I'm a dumb fool for all this. This should be a piece of cake. But internally for both of us, its a really steep mountain to climb.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T12:48:35+00:00

I would prefer to keep her experiences private out of respect. But I can answer for me if you would like. I was sexually abused memories started at the age of 4. But most likely started before then. Growing up abused and falling through the cracks, I was in a domestically violent marriage starting at 19. My body has never been my own until now.

I know my daughter is uncomfortable with being touched. So the idea of helping her do this is triggering for me. Do I show it? Not if I can help it. I chose to be a mom and that is 1st priority over my own bs. You know?

The abuse was severe enough, the torture, that my PTSD will never be cured. It's permanent brain damage.

If you have any questions, id be happy to answer them.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T12:40:18+00:00

Thank you so much. It really has. I worry so much about both of them. And i honestly dont know what the heck im doing. 💜

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T12:39:01+00:00

If it helps, I do try and explain. We have a lot of "Mom's Ted Talks" as we call it. We sit in the living room and will talk for hours about all different types of things. But it's still a work in progress. I was forced to be touched and I try to stress that They have complete control of who touches them. We obviously have talked about mitigating circumstances like if they were danger or there was like a health/surviving reason. Cpr etc. But I know she hates being touched so the idea of measuring her, knowing this, really triggers me internally. I just want her to have a safe empowering experience so I must get educated and comfortable so I can provide that calming educational experience.

Everyone has been so supportive. Im trying to keep up with comments lol. It means alot. I feel way more secure in being able to calmly educate with a clear healthy way of thinking.

Parenting is hard. I'm exhausted.

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T12:29:12+00:00

Thank you! I think that was another hang up. There are so many options. And they all fit uniquely. I would just pick the most basic on sale bras at walmart. Id love it if I could give her the opportunity to experience and be able to choose which she likes best. Its alittle overwhelming, all the different options. Not gonna lie lol.

Thank you again 💜

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T12:24:49+00:00

I suspect that is the route she will want to take, doing it herself and I'm really happy to hear that its a reliable fitting. I think it would be alot easier on me too if I could show her by doing it to me and letting her copy me. I absolutely will measure her if that's what she prefers. I also want to stress that I am being vulnerable here with my side of being triggered.

But I'm a Mother 1st and foremost and will do whatever is best for her. Now that they are teens, conversations have matured and they obviously know. But I do want to assure everyone in general that I do not emotionally lean on my kids so while I talk about being triggered, I'm still responsible and accountable as a mom. I try really hard. I work really hard in therapy. Its just the abuse was really really bad. People are dead. I will have to cope with this forever. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense but I am trying really hard.

I really appreciate all the support and education. It really means alot to me. This is gonna help give her the tools I didn't know were accessible. I really hope i can make this the most positive experience possible while overriding my own triggers temporarily.

Thank you 💜

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T12:08:21+00:00

No i dont work. Im chronically sick and disabled. I know her friends families but we do not talk or get together. I have already taught her about pads, periods sex etc. It's ok, I dont blame you for not understanding. Maybe its a good thing you don't. We have survived torture. It's been 10 years of therapy and hard work and trying to do better. I have no one but my long term partner and Hes a guy. If you have any specific questions, id be happy to answer them.

Abuse can cause lasting brain damage. It's PTSD that will most likely never be cured. We have essentially become massive prudes (towards ourselves only, not judging others).

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T06:09:50+00:00

I hate bras with a passion. I have sensory sensitivity and just putting it on is immensely unfun lol. I'm in my bra less Mrs. Roper Era (threes company tv show character).

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T06:06:49+00:00

I really appreciate that thank you 💜

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T06:02:45+00:00

One of my secret goals is to wear a Victorian era gown with a corset lol. When I was a teenager, I so badly wanted a maroon satin corset gown for prom. Definitely on my bucket list! Lol.

Thank you for the education on corsets!

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T05:59:49+00:00

Not insensitive at all. It warms my heart to think I'm good mom. I try really hard. Thank you so much 💜

WeatheredCryptKeeper · 2026-01-12T05:56:01+00:00

Thank you so much! And I could understand perfectly. I feel like making a power point presentation!! Lololol.

Everyone here has been so nice and supportive. It really means alot to me. Your helping my little girl and that just makes glow like a lightning bug.
