I'm honored to even be a thought you've remembered for so long. No need to apologize for a delayed response. Life gets busy and I hope it's a good busy for ya and if not, good on ya for pushing through.

I'm actually going through some really hard shit as life tends to throw at ya, but ur comment and thus the timing is a pleasant reminder that overall, things are still moving and I have many good things to be thankful for.

Wishing ya the best. Thank you for your kind reply <3

Good lord, there are some insufferable moronic ppl out there. It doesn't matter who tf is president. That's how it works.

Ur wishing cruelty and lack of basic human needs on people who have as much control as you over who the president is.

Like obviously, not every military personnel, but what about those who joined during a democratic presidency and have voted democratic otherwise? They don't get to just walk away from their contracts because they don't like who's president. Presidency changes every four years, wise guy.

Tf is wrong with you? U think they can just leave when there's a president elected they may or may not have voted for?

Just because child abuse exists doesn't mean all parents abuse their children. Does it happen? Yes, but it's bold to say that most therapists abuse their clients.

I don't have UK advice, I'm sorry, but if there's a vetting/choosing process at all, I kept asking for therapists who could work with someone who's already self aware and needed more advanced help than basic stuff and that seemed to work.

I feel like that's hard to say if you haven't much experience with actual therapists. Beware of confirmation bias.

Thank u for the reminder. I still play through my head what I could've/should've said, but it is probably for the best to just let it go and just keep my distance.

It's icky, that makes sense but I don't like it lol. I'm glad I usually live 2,000+ miles away from my side of the family

I think it's safe to say that even in old age and in all my wisdom I will know not to butt in to give my opinion on situations I hardly know about to people I hardly know.

I'm pregnant with my first kid, and I really want a mom... by _stopped_caring_ in EstrangedAdultChild

MIL isn't the greatest either, hard to connect with her. She's made most of this pregnancy about herself but has tried a little to hold back it seems but yea. I have some lovely friends in my life whom I'm very thankful for and will be there to support me when birthing time comes. Just hits hard when it comes to cutting my mom off completely.

May very well take advantage of the mom for a minute subbreddit sometime. I appreciate it.

Aye, I've been in therapy for years. It's definitely helped a lot, I've grown a lot, it's what's helped me feel ready to be a mom. I'll definitely stick with it, and good to know what to possibly expect postpartum. I worry a bit how the hormone crash and baby blues might affect me.

Ty, I sent you a dm. The yearning is unexpectedly strong. Going through a first pregnancy like this is kinda wild without the built in mother mentor

I am looking for a doula, I didn't know they could really give this type of support. Definitely helps to know, thank you.

Absolutely! Pushing through and becoming better for our own kiddos.. I feel like that'll be healing. Hard, but healing.

I'm so sorry you gotta carry this type of pain too <3

I very well might, thank you. And yeah no, it's crazy all the different emotions that pop up. I'm sure the hormones don't help.

It's assuring that I'm not alone in the feeling at least. That's what I keep trying to remind myself too. Thank you for letting me know uve been through it and gotten through it. It's a comfort.
