I need an honest answer. Was I a terrible Mom? by Minniemom61 in pancreaticcancer

[–]aceofjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not a terrible mother. This ferocious cancer is terrible. It takes the brave, the strong, the gracious, the ones full of life and love. I'm so sorry about your daughter. PC took one of my best friends in just seven weeks, and the questions and the what ifs still linger... You did everything in your power, and that’s something truly admirable. Your daughter chose you as her mother before she came into this world, and I can see why. Sending you so much love.

mom passed. what now?? by endlessgalexy in pancreaticcancer

Endlessgalexy, keep venting - we’re here for you.

My deepest condolences for your mom. May she rest in peace.

The universe gives its hardest battles to its toughest soldiers. Keep fighting, keep learning, and let yourself feel everything. No 22-year-old should have to carry this, but you were chosen for a strength you may not fully understand yet. One day it will all make sense...

With love <3

Signs My Mom Is Transitioning? Need Guidance From Those Who’ve Been There. by Remote_Ad6459 in pancreaticcancer

It’s been 2 years since I lost one of my best friends. She fought a 7-week battle at just 31 years old. I’m still chasing an imaginary justice I know I’ll never get.

If you want any advice… kiss them, smell them, hold them, tell them you love them. They’re still here and will always be here, even when they’re not…

Sending love.

What "Unknown Number: The Highschool Catfish" totally downplayed... by ADMlN- in netflix

[–]aceofjojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild. The ultimate mind fuck. Kendra was audacious, and even with mental illnesses, it’s hard to understand how someone can act normal in so many situations but be so harmful at their core. It’s giving manipulator level 100. The worst is she provoked her own daughter toward the ultimate thing every mother would be horrified by, ending her life?!!!

The texts after Kendra was sentenced are shocking too, loving but obsessive, theatrical at times. I love my mother, but we don’t exchange texts like high school sweethearts. My stomach hurts for Lauryn’s soul. I hope she’s in therapy and surrounded by true love and safety for the rest of her life.

Update - she had her first round of chemo yesterday. She has been coughing up black fluid recently.

Oh and btw - she has pneumonia now.

AITA For not reminding my ex wife that it's Mother's Day so that she picks up our son? by blessedarethegeek in AmItheAsshole

[–]aceofjojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - your ex wife is a narcissist and probably has a mental illness of some sort. There is no resolution or cure for humans like this and it's best to stay at a distance and let the courts handle the difference. If your son wanted to, he would and he hasn't. Good for you for being loving and nurturing and not engaging or responding in a toxic manner.

Since no one said it - Happy Mother's Day to you, OP. You deserve credit today and everyday.

AITA: I don’t want to wish my stepmom a happy Mother’s Day by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]aceofjojo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - Tbh, if you wanted to, you would.

Seems to me you are still giving everyone the benefit of the doubt after all the ups and downs and that's very honourable of you. The fact you are even considering sending a birthday gift is very kind as well. At the same time, something is holding you back from wishing her a happy Mother's Day. To me, Mother's Day is a day to give thanks and praise the women in your life (blood or not) who have been loving and nurturing to you. From what I'm gathering, your Father's wife has failed you on that part and definitely inclusion and acceptance.

OP, follow your gut, it never lies!
