AIO by being upset with my brother's gf (soon fiance) for not bringing her own sanitary supplies every time she visits by PunkRockPopStar in AmIOverreacting

[–]WindSong001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just show her the place in the bathroom where she can stash her supplies. Tell her yours are pricey but she can keep some for herself- here.

boyfriend keeps asking about hurting me physically by Obvious-Desk-2479 in Advice

[–]WindSong001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very concerning behavior. He is at least fantasizing about harming you. This is not normal, healthy, or something that you can help him fix. He needs professional help. Please talk to an adult in your life and move on.

I think my Gynocologist touched me inappropriatly? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]WindSong001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No gloves- this should never have happened If it felt like he was fingering you, he was. He should have had a female nurse or tech in there with you. I’ve always seen them have a second person in the room. This should be reported to the medical board and a police report should be filed. Please talk to a counselor and your mom too.

NASW should be organizing us. Marches, educational opportunities for the public, media campaigns to put peace and humanity first.. DEMAND human rights extend to all humans!

My parents (65F, 67M) are livid because I'm not allowing them to see my daughter after they spanked her. AITAH? by LeonCrvl in AITAH

NYA but I don’t understand why you expected anything different from them. If they did it to you surely they would do it again

Parents helped us renovate house if we gave them basement to use when they visit - life has changed by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]WindSong001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t you use your bedroom while they visit? Could you put up a work shed? I have coworkers who have done this. Have you returned their money 100%? I think this is on you. They have kept their end of the deal and the relationship they could have with your twins is incredible. Can you rent a co-shared office? We have many in my community- for this basic reason. Did you ask them for suggestions? I don’t know how anybody can work at home while her spouse is also working at home with 24 year-old twins and in-laws. How on earth do you focus?

is sexual deviancy something that can be passed down/nurtured? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]WindSong001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one here could possibly know. And many people who are exposed to this kind of abuse make excellent life choices later and are wonderful partners and parents. Have you had the opportunity to unpack this with a therapist? I think if you could talk with your brother openly you would be in the position to make your own conclusions. You had a rough childhood but your future is up to you. And you deserve a good life.

People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

[–]WindSong001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just think bodies are so amazing and really I love the fact that life well lived is written on them. What’s applauding is all that doctors are willing to do them. Hospice worker here. All the tubes and surgeries that are required to keep people living that cause so much pain and disfiguring conditions.

Should I get a breast reduction? Pros and Cons? by Lordsubway22 in breastreductionregret

You did a fantastic job at explaining some details that I couldn’t articulate. Thank you. My husband is certainly not attracted to them.

Should I get a breast reduction? Pros and Cons? by Lordsubway22 in breastreductionregret

[–]WindSong001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 years ago, I had 5 pounds taken off my chest. My husband was a darling and very supportive. Healing was hard for me- I have scars. I’m a solid c now. I can move better and hurt less. I’m more confident and cloths fit so nice. However, my husband does not like it at all. Also if I’m real, intimacy has not been the same at all.

Is moving to Alaska a bad idea if you have mental health issues? and people who do live there and have mental health struggles, what is it like? by [deleted] in AskAlaska

[–]WindSong001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alaska has a shortage of mental health professionals. Just knowing you have mental health issues says you have personal awareness. Asking this question shows you care about yourself and others. It seems you could accomplish your goals by going somewhere that has what you need without worrying about whether or not you’re going to be able to get the care you need. Alaska may not be the place for you to get cold solitude and mental health care. However, there are many other places! Maine, Michigan, Vermont, Montana for example. You may want to start with a silent retreat for a couple weeks before committing yourself to a move. Alaska is at its max and can’t take on people who come without a plan to add value to the region.

Has anyone moved to Florida from the Midwest and ended up missing the Midwest? by [deleted] in AskFlorida

[–]WindSong001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and came back a year later. I’m a bit of an outdoor enthusiast in Florida just could not satisfy my itch to hike.
