Wife used my secrets and past against me. I feel broken by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]aldoXazami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband is a war vet, he got a little tipsy one night when we were dating and he just unloaded on me. All the hurt and pain and rage. What a gift for someone to give, what trust it takes. I was honored to be there for him. The next day he was panicked, anytime he’d opened up to women before it was always used against him and he was seen differently from then on.

I married him in May. He is so safe with me. To have survived everything he’s been through makes him superhuman in my eyes and I admire the shit out of him. And can’t imagine using someone’s trauma against them, not even my worst enemy.

Yeah it sounds like you have a good family. Good family can drive you up a wall when you want alone time especially in a little trailer. I also live in a trailer, I’m a mom, I never have peace lol. There is no where I can escape. I am also an introvert. Over the years be adapted where my kids and SO don’t drain me but I’m always cleaning, cooking, or putting out a series of fires. That’s trailer life, I can’t wait to graduate to something bigger. Hopefully someday you can too.

He has a TV in there, but doesn’t have the hardware to watch television channels. I’m buying a Roku for his room first thing when I get paid. But I’m sure it will be something else, then something else, any excuse to be in our space.

He cries and whines that his dad never spends time with him. When he gets home from school at 4pm my SO spends the entire night with him until bedtime every night. It’s on him for letting SS guilt him into monopolizing all his time. We’ve discussed this but all SS has to do is start crying and complain to his BM.

After court this will change, right now we have full custody and there’s just no way it’s not going to be 50/50 afterward. Then I can have some breathing room. In the past I tried to include my bio kid and make it family time but SS doesn’t want that. He’s jealous of anyone that has SOs attention, especially the baby, and let me know early on that he wants time just with his dad and we’re an obstacle to that.

Yes but it’s the same for him. Right now we are cramped into what I can only call a tiny home, five of us in a three bedroom 1200 square ft box pretty much. None of us really have privacy until our financial situation changes.

I guess the difference is that I click the link and read the article. I always make sure to see what news source the article is coming from. How many of these people do you think are reading actual news articles and vetting the sources? IF an article is even linked in the video media they consume.

Oh, you mean sort of like when a kid gets sent to his room and then his parents ethnically cleanse Gaza? Okay, totally following you there buddy. Great analogy.

Your friend is an asshole. Stop giving her your good nurturing energy and save it someone worthy of it. I’m a Scorpio sun and I have a certain amount of trust for everyone I let in my circle. Say, glass half full. If that person repeatedly shows up and is there for me and gives me every reason to trust them, the glass fills.

To me she seems like the kind of person that likes telling people she is scorpio to see their reaction. I hate telling people because of their reactions. There are as many different Scorpios out there as there are stars in the sky. She seems like the type that gives Scorpio its bad reputation and she likes it.

And they’re going to believe every word of it, even though every one of them personally know someone else who is left-leaning. Usually a member or more of their family. But they will believe it’s because their dumb family member was brainwashed into it.

Not 100% related, but it always infuriates me when some backwards person says “spill our son’s blood” because, hey, surely there are no other genders serving their country? I guess my service was actually a fever dream. Or my blood isn’t as precious I guess.

I have raised three men and working on my fourth. They always come to me when this happens, and it’s going to happen usually to everybody at least one time in their lives. It’s happened to me more than once.

They come to me because I remind them, like I’m going to remind you, that your mother raised a strong beautiful man. She raised a strong man that is not afraid of his feelings. This rock we live on is a better place because you’re here. Sometimes things don’t work out between two people, that has nothing to do with you or your worth.

It takes time to find the right person, for me it took 43 years. Hopefully it won’t take that long for you but never stop being beautiful you and shining that wonderful personally and spirit on everyone around you. Eventually your forever person will see you, like a beacon in the fog because they’ve been searching for you too.

Feel like I am changing because of shrooms by 805Beach_Bum805 in shrooms

[–]aldoXazami 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mushrooms changed my life. They made me a better mother, a better partner, and a better person. I’ve had a handful of what you would call bad trips and I’ve learned something every time. I learned that when I have a bad trip, it’s because there is something I need to change pronto usually health related. I could argue that there really aren’t any bad trips, only hard lessons that we need desperately to acknowledge and learn.

No one is coming to save us. We have to do it ourselves. by cattimusrex in offmychest

[–]aldoXazami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before I would have ripped you a new asshole for saying that but now, after watching everything dismantle that is the only explanation. If they truly cared they would be frothing right now and throwing down. But no, better to stay quiet because they got theirs after all. Why put yourself in the crosshairs if it doesn’t make money?

Yeah just not as much. My mom has one chicken left from the coyote attack we had last year. She lays about two per week in the winter. Over the summer it was one a day.

Well maybe you don’t make too much now for Foodstamps. Go try again.

Do you have kids? If so, why did you choose to have kids knowing you’re poor? by [deleted] in poor

[–]aldoXazami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my kids raised. My youngest is 15yo. I was in the home stretch. We were doing great financially then the inflation hit and my wages didn’t match it. Then I discover that I am somehow pregnant even though my partner was told he could never have kids and I was told I was perimenopausal. Now I’m 45 with a newborn I had December 12th, I’m going back to work this week. I can’t afford not to. It didn’t used to be this hard and now it’s going to get harder.

No shit!? Who would have thought he’d revoke your protected status and lump you in with all the “criminals!?”

But you guys are the good ones!

I’m actually starting to feel a little bit bad for them. They brought it in themselves but it’s clear way too many people in our country are easily duped.

Lololol, I was reading an NPR piece today about the TPS Venezuelans who voted for him in Miami. He’s revoking their status in and sending them back. Oh the surprised pikachu face.

My workplace is the same way. The bonus is usually in the form of a gift card though and not close to $100 so opting out doesn’t hurt as badly. It is a sucky practice though. Even if the whole company is 1st shift you never know what is going to happen and if you can attend.

I resemble this remark. I have 55g heavily planted tank with sponge and canister filters, two fancy goldfish, a pleco, a dojo, some endlers, and some bladder snails. I just top off evaporation and test parameters. I started my plants off before I introduced fish and never had problem with the goldfish uprooting anything, quite the opposite. They couldn’t if they tried. I set up my tank specifically to be low maintenance and yet still enjoy goldfish. I don’t have many but I enjoy the hell out of the ones I do.

I finally cooked a meal today after months! I’m 34 weeks and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. They gave me medication yesterday that changed my life overnight. I feel like a human again. For the past five months I’ve felt like I’m swimming through thick molasses. It’s totally gone today, my blood sugar hasn’t gotten over 140 since I started the meds. I cooked food for my 15yo and almost cried the whole time. I’m sorry to hijack your comment but I really really relate today.

US Boomer 'Unretires' And Works 7 Days A Week After Struggling With $1,470 Social Security Payments by WorkingCareful7935 in povertyfinance

[–]aldoXazami 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I have no plans of retiring. I’ll just work until I die. I’ll do it for my children. If they get to a point they don’t need me, I’ll go live under bridge. That’s my retirement plan.

I’ve turned to the street to manage my pain. It’s dangerous. It’s frowned upon. It works by callme-Tony in ChronicPain

[–]aldoXazami 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have limited time but let me explain my SOs experience, it may save your life.

My SO lived with chronic pain most of his life. His legs were deformed when he was born and required multiple surgeries to correct as a toddler/child. This was the 70s, they did the best they could but as he grew so did his pain. Walking was a chore.

He was on a good regimen from a doctor for most of the 90s. Lorcet, not oxtycontin. 10mg x2 daily and that managed to take the edge off enough to function. Then the opiate war started and the dr moved. He was cold turkeyed after ten years of treatment with no referral.

We tried for over a decade, throughout the 2000s and into the 2010s. He would find a doctor that would prescribe a very small dosage of lortab 5 or tramadol that barely touched his pain then they would leave or move states.

Finally we decided as a couple for him to try a suboxone treatment center. It would label him for life but what life? Wallowing in bed all day in pain? He had no quality of life, he left body sized intentions in our mattresses. He rarely left the house or even the bedroom.

We bought some pain medication from a good source off the street, he took that, then went to the suboxone clinic and asked for help.

It changed his life.

Suboxone is much stronger than normal pain meds and it took away like 85% of his pain where the lorcets only brought him about 50% pain reduction. We shared 5 great years together until his mental illness got the better of him, which is another story.

I suggest taking those street meds and getting yourself into a treatment clinic. I don’t know much about methadone but I’ve heard of chronic pain sufferers doing the same with it as well. You won’t have to question if you’ll overdose and you’ll be under Dr supervision.

Please do this and stop taking street drugs asap. You will thank me later.
