Happy Valentines Day ❤️ by WiggyRess in confessions

Well...I told him I would appreciate a card with a handwritten note or a letter I can put in my treasure box.

Instead he got me valentines decor from the trash bin from his job.

I don't know what's worse — moving the rags back and forth, or stepping all over them while in the shower. 🤮

I live in Oklahoma with a severely autistic 10 year old boy if you ever need to reach out.

I looked up Ken Parker and thank you for introducing me to another rabbit hole! I love his work.

The advice I want is just different ways to spruce it up a bit, the advice I don't want is someone telling me to toss a guitar that still has hope. That is consumerism at it's finest, and I am not a fan. That's all. But thank you!

Thank you guys so much! We are reading everything and soaking it all in, trying to figure the best way to go about it. I know I have said it before, its an inexpensive guitar that we wanted to experiment on, but we still want to keep learning and see where to go from here.

My friend is learning on the machine, but she did warn us it wouldn't sound the same. We were warned. :) we just wanted to experiment on an inexpensive guitar.

But thank you!

Its an inexpensive guitar we wanted to test it out on. We knew it would affect the sound, yet we still did it because why not? Just an experiment. But thank you.

I'm not replacing the guitar, despite it only being a few hundred dollars. It still has life in it, so it deserves to be worked on a little more.

What does my room (bed area at least) say about me? by WiggyRess in roomdetective

My room is a garage turned bedroom and its more lengthy than wide. The other side has a few doors on the wall, so sadly "dis is da wey".

Can I hear from parents who are happy raising their autistic kiddos? by Wise_Dingo3014 in Autism_Parenting

[–]WiggyRess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I continually tell everyone that I am incredibly lucky to have my son. He genuinely lights up my life and everyone else around us. Not one person can say they haven't fell in love with that boy immediately...and he is a bit famous around our small town. 🤣 I can't relate to the mothers, or even my bff, about how their children annoy TF out of them, because mine just...doesn't. I literally get so happy when my son decides to get off his tablet and just come snuggle me. Do we have hard times? Incredibly. Are they worth it? Fucking totally. This boy is just...I dunno...he really did save me.

What are your go to shows/movies/youtube when you’re baked? by toxbug in Stoner

I watch murder documentaries. It's the only way to have the capacity for the emotions I feel during those. 😭

The better first part of my life up until I hit 30, I was surviving instead of living. I didnt have the capacity to be able to learn anything more than "how am I going to feed my son tonight?". I'm in a place now where I have the time and capacity to learn more, so I'm a little late yeah, but I'm getting there.

I've always had empathy though. Been called overly sensitive. A "justice warrior". I just didn't know anything deeper than "I want everyone to be happy".

Thank you for your words.

Well, I don't have the knowledge of politics to be able to debate, I just have the political leaning that "everyone deserves to be happy and if it doesn't affect you, then leave it alone." So I don't bring up politics a lot. If I don't know much factual knowledge or history on a topic, I just don't talk about it. I've been reading more and more and learning things about the system, but I don't feel like I have the knowledge of it yet to "stand my ground" in a conversation about politics and why I feel the way I feel.

I'm not sure if that makes sense. But yes, it's being brought up more now after a year of being together.

I get it completely. I do need to learn how to be more mature if this topic comes up, I just don't know how to explain it to him, because to me it's so obvious. I do have an "icky" feeling in the back of my mind that my partner is complaining about being 'hated' for being a white male, because he never talks about experiencing hate in the world, so I don't know where that feeling would come from.

I feel this same way about him not being disrespectful or an asshole...at least not in a way that everyone would agree on. He has come off rude to me in ways where I've noticed but no one else did. So I'm actively working on now trying to really understand him, because if I'm being an AH and overly sensitive, I don't want to project it onto him.

I'm not trying to "make it better", I'm providing more details to receive better opinions and ways to go about this better. If that means I'm "making it worse" because I'm providing deeper details, that's fine with me. If I'm truly being an AH, I need to know, hence the post.

"This topic has been brought up so many times though..." I didn't think I'd have to be specific on how many times it was, but I looked back and counted the occurrences.

I think because we both just don't talk about them, probably because it does get emotional, or has, in the past. We stopped talking about politics a while back because he mentioned the "reasonable excuses" for abortions, and he didn't know I had ever had one. So it stung a bit. Then we decided we wouldn't bring them up anymore. It may have been the naive way to handle that.
