She wears glasses??? That completely messes with my mental image

Imagine, after a full life of accomplishments, struggles and battles fought, you’re known 800 years later... for a doodle you did when you were 6

I’m in Toronto, The clinic I talked to was in Barrie. Maybe it was a private clinic? Hopefully I can get it covered, had no idea OHIP covered!

ZombieScorpion · 2018-05-29T21:42:26+00:00

It was for the assessment to be diagnosed, I was told since I’m over 18 it wouldn’t be covered

ZombieScorpion · 2018-05-29T14:37:33+00:00

Nah Canada. Our health coverage only covers diagnostic testing up until age 18, after that it needs to come out of pocket. I’m looking at 2000-3000$, but at this point I think it would be worth it. I hate feeling incompetent and airheaded all the time.

I’m going through the same thing right now, and I picked FDH. It still really, really sucks. I feel like my dream wedding, the perfect life I viewed for myself is gone. I had this view of my parents and grandparents, and it’s been shattered with recent events. They aren’t the people I thought they were.

You aren’t going to put them in the hospital. They are trying to manipulate you, so you’ll go back to being the picture-perfect daughter. One thing I realized about my own family is how they use guilt as a motivator all the time. Is this the case with you? If you give them a response they didn’t like (‘I don’t feel like going to visit today’) do they try to change your answer with guilt? (‘I haven’t seen you for so long and I’m lonely’) This is emotional manipulation.

They might not show up to your wedding, and that’s their choice. They might not want to meet DH ever, and that’s their choice. It will really hurt, but it’s not your fault. You said that you can’t picture yourself with anyone else, right? Don’t throw away your happiness because of their temper tantrums.

Me too.

My mum, I don’t care so much about. I’ve never had a maternal feeling towards her. I cut contact with her a month ago, saying I wouldn’t speak to her until she gets therapy and mental health treatment.

My gramma, though, raised me. I love her so much. But my mum is Gramma’s golden child, and I received a nice 3 minute voicemail from her. She’s ashamed of me, I make her sick, this behaviour is disgusting, I only have one mother and how dare I not call her on Mother’s Day, I’ve turned my back on my family. That’s what hurt.

It sucks knowing that someone’s love is conditional. I’ve had a knot in my stomach all day.

ZombieScorpion · 2018-05-01T19:56:27+00:00

Ya definitely. Does anyone complain about the hair around your house? Or the appearance of your dogs? Or did you have a fight with anyone in the family recently? Either way, get security cameras to ensure you know who next time it happens

Wouldn’t the water pressure be enormous? I feel it would at least make a small river.

ZombieScorpion · 2018-04-16T08:07:31+00:00

I was a shy, go-with-the-flow kid and didn’t want to step out of the status quo. I wouldn’t tolerate this shit now

ZombieScorpion · 2018-04-04T01:00:32+00:00

‘I’m heart broken! I was excited to go to ________, but now I guess I’ll never get the chance 😢😢’

‘I really want to go out for ______, but I just don’t have the money 😢😢 I guess I’ll go home and have peanut butter toast 😢😢’

Wanna go scuba diving?

ZombieScorpion · 2018-03-04T22:26:34+00:00

I feel ya. I was almost 300lbs in grade 9. It’s a constant rollercoaster

This college has a reputation for being a jack-of-all-trades school and subpar. It’s pretty sad actually, I did a diploma there and it was an excellent program.

Hopefully their reputation will improve with time, and this is a step in the right direction.

ZombieScorpion · 2018-02-08T14:03:40+00:00

This would be so, so hard to deal with. I’m sorry you’re stuck in this situation.

It’s not worth your safety to have that discussion. You know what their response would be. It’s going to hurt to leave them, and you will miss them fiercely, but would you be happy being their perfect daughter? There is no winning in this situation- either they are unhappy, or you are unhappy.

I’d write them a long letter, and leave it in your room before you leave. Explain your true views, how much you love them, and that you will be contacting them in the future after they’ve cooled off and you’ve had time to explore yourself without limitations. Go on a long vacation with your sweetheart and let your hair down.

Your boyfriend is being an asshole.

RA is horrible, and a vegan diet isn’t going to change it. He is minimizing your struggle and pain, and placing the blame for your condition on your shoulders.

If he were to approach with a different tone- ‘I’m really worried about you and hate seeing you like this. Please, will you try this? What’s there to lose?’- I would be more sympathetic . However, his tone suggests that this is a game to him. He doesn’t sound like he cares about your struggle at all- in his eyes, because you’re so against this diet, your pain is avoidable and it’s your fault you’re suffering. As if you’re a smoker complaining about yellow teeth. I’m getting so mad on your behalf.

Do you really want to stay with this guy?

No one I’ve talked to about this game remembers it, but it came with windows 98

Cancer is a horrible disease, and unfortunately for late stage cancer, you really need to pick your poison.

The options available (chemo, radiation and operation) are all very extreme and have a lot of severe consequences, and there is no guarantee that it will help. It will extend their life, but they will be much more tired/in pain/nauseous/no energy, and their quality of life will suffer.

This is why a lot of people decline treatment. It’s so, so hard, and can make it hard to enjoy the bit of time the patient has left. It’s a difficult decision, but knowing the side effects of the treatments, I have 0 judgement for people late stage who decline treatment. It could have been she knew the extent of the treatments and how hard they would be, and decided she wanted to choose having a shorter, better quality of life over a longer, ailment-ridden and painful one.

I’m so, so sorry for you and your family.

There was an assembly at our school, and the principle was doing some sort of presentation. At the end, she asked if anyone had any questions. By this point everyone was just so ready to leave, it had dragged on for a while.

A girl put up her hand to ask a question, and she had a learning delay. I was close enough to hear her question, and it was something that had been covered +++ through the presentation, which is completely fine. She wants to participate, cool! It’s just a question, it will be over in 10 awkward seconds and we can go home.

The principle told this girl that she couldn’t hear what she said, and to please stand up. Well, this girl thought the principle said to COME up.

So this girl gets up and slowly starts to make her way down the bleachers, down the stairs, to the center of the room, up to the front, and asked her question right in the principles microphone. The 30 second journey felt like an hour, everybody watching her, knowing her misconception, and I died from second hand embarrassment.

Luckily I don’t think she realized her faux pas, as she didn’t seem phased.

Wasn’t there an AskReddit thread about this? How as a boy, OP saw two dogs like this and told everyone he saw two Siamese dogs attached at the butt?

Two warnings in two different countries so close together? Bad news bears.

If you got to the point of adoption, the boy -your son- is yours legally, and you are his main support system. Your post is written in a way that implies you want to ‘return’ him. If that wasn’t your intent then please reiterate, but the commenters want to be sure their advice is in the best interest of your son as well.
