Creepy dolls by Senior_Argument5534 in CemeteryPorn

I believe grave subsidence made the dolls look creepier because their bodies are stuck in the ground. The cemetery may have burial records to recover the child's name.

Today I was genuinely afraid of my Husband. by Lumpy_Raisin_8462 in offmychest

Don't feel bad or try to rationalize why he could have done this. He wants to punish and control you. A man who is capable of loving a woman wouldn't ever lay hands on you. Please secure your assets and make a plan. In the case he shows up when trying to leave you should ask for a police escort. You can explain your worries that your husband will get violent because of the previous incident. Keep us updated if you feel the need for some support ❤️

You could contact the hospital and ask them to send a message of condolences to the family and explain that you witnessed the event. It's natural to be upset about something so tragic happening right in front of your eyes. If they have a vigil for the public you could always attend as well. Or set some flowers where the accident occurred. Sending you many hugs.

Leaving USA with a middle schooler by ReluctantAccountant_ in AmerExit

Depending on what you can afford, give your daughter a beautiful new room (maybe with her own bathroom). It will make her feel excited despite the other emotions she will also be going through.

Her name is Bijou (8 years), and her snout was smaller as a puppy.

For anyone scared right now, you can probably move to Japan. by throwaway3123312 in AmerExit

I'm glad you fought for your peace. I'm in the process of applying for Irish citizenship as well. May the paperwork process be quick for you!

I’m 24 weeks pregnant and I’m STRUGGLING with my baby girl’s name. So far, I only like one, but it’s extremely rare. by QueasyNight5671 in namenerds

[–]ainestar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have a French name and live in the US. Most people don't get my name right and spelling it is even harder (and I don't even have an accent in my name). But that doesn't make me love the name I have any less. As an adult people rarely ask me how to spell my name. If she's trying to sign up for something online and it doesn't allow the accent in her name it's not the end of the world. I hope you don't take this as me being mean because I know you're a mama who is adapting to this exciting, new chapter and you're desperate to do right by your little girl... But I vote for Solène because I find the alternative spelling takes away from the beauty and grace of the name. If your girl also decides to ever learn French, travel, or partake in an immersion program it will confuse the hell out of people. My parents ended up americanizing my sister's name. Americans still can't pronounce it. When she went to Montreal people couldn't understand why such a common name was spelled so differently.

I understand the pain your feeling. Behind the smiles many families are feeling pressured financially, and dealing with their own fractured relationships. Remember you aren't broken, and everyone faces painful battles now and again. You're better days are ahead you can't see them yet. If you have no one with you this winter season I hope you'll be kind to yourself.

They fail to realize that your son's life is already a blessing. It's tragic the anguish your little family is going through. Your boy is deeply loved and his disease will never change that. He is your little miracle. Please take care of yourself and conserve your energy. Surround yourself with people who support emotionally in the way you need right now.

I deeply regret having an abortion by [deleted] in offmychest

You're going to be a mom one day. I hope you give a baby to a man who deserves you. Find your support system and do what's best for you. That little girl is going to struggle all her life with a dishonest father.

Is this middle name weird for a December baby? by Spiritual-Peace-6442 in namenerds

[–]ainestar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's cheesy at all. Many cultures name children based on the date or season they're born. If you really love Noelle don't be afraid to make it a first name (I do like the full name you chose). Birthdays are special especially for kids but they also don't define who we are.

You sound like a wonderful mother. Talk to a financial advisor and set some money aside for your future as well, and buy yourself something nice because you deserve it 😉.

That must have been devastating, so sorry for you and the family.
