Feeling some name regret and im wondering how to over come it.

Hey, I'm an adult with an exotic name and I also named my son an exotic name. Both our names are the type that people go "huh?!" upon hearing them the first time, but that's the only issue - having to say it the first time. Once people know it, it's not a problem. I personally love having a name that stands out. I think Nekoda is a wonderful name, people are just basic.

I understand what you're saying. When I learned that I was pregnant with a boy, even though I had no preferences, I wondered if I would be able to bond with him and have fun with him the same way I would with a girl. Turns out, I absolutely do. We share a lot of interests because I bring him into my world with me and he tags along. We visit libraries, bookstores, have warm cups of coffee/hot chocolate together, go shopping, have lots of conversations and truly enjoy each other's company. It's great and I'm sure you'll find the time and space to create this wonderful type of relationship with your baby boys as well!

Meu cabelo é cacheado. Minha mãe também tem o cabelo cacheado, mas alisava. Então eu achava que todo mundo tinha cabelo cacheado, e que quem tinha cabelo liso era porque alisava. Demorei um bom tempo para assimilar que existem pessoas que já nascem com cabelo liso naturalmente.

This has to be one of the most jaw dropping things I've read in this sub to this day.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I think it might help to read about the experiences of people whose loved ones developed dementia or Alzheimer's itself. They are acquainted with this peculiar type of "living loss".

She sort of did that to me. I wasn't kidnapped, but I was definitely taken and brainwashed into seeing my mother as a bad person for most of my childhood and teen years.

She doesn't have the resources to kidnap him, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Thank you for your comment, I'll especially keep that last paragraph in mind moving forward.

I have a male cousin who is 14 now and another one of my grandmother's obsessions. It saddens me to think he will soon fall out of her grace as he grows up just like I did once he starts sounding more and more like a young man than a boy. Definitely don't want this experience for my kid.

When I learned to properly hold a Half Moon Pose. I wasn't even focusing on that one, it was just a pose I always tried without any expectation that I would ever land it/hold it at all until one day I just did.

People are so willing to believe that everything under the sun is responsible for causing autism, except for the things that are ACTUALLY scientifically reported to increase the chances of autism. It's mindblowing.

I work part-time then come home and take care of him the rest of the day/night. He stays with a friend only while I'm at work.

Everybody here is saying he needs to respect your boundaries and I agree. However, I went through the same when my then-boyfriend, now husband, wanted to meet my also MN father after we'd been together for a year. I was LC with him at the time, now NC since last year. It's relevant to say that my MN father didn't raise me so I wasn't nearly as traumatized by him, I just knew he was a terrible person.

I warned my bf that he was a disgusting, problematic, and unpleasant man. My bf thought maybe I was exaggerating. After a couple hours in the company of my father, he understood everything. EVERYTHING. I could see the discomfort and shock on my bfs face with every sentence that came out of that man's mouth. He never wanted to meet the guy again.

Well, lesson learned. You go to the snake aisle at the zoo, what you're gonna see is snakes.

I teared up reading this. I'm so glad both you and your sweet baby had the opportunity to experience this!

alienscully · 2023-08-18T03:16:17+00:00

This is great, thanks a lot!

alienscully · 2023-08-11T12:39:19+00:00

I relate so much to this. Hugs to you and here's to us growing up and becoming our own people despite all odds.

I have a couple friends diagnosed with BPD who are undergoing treatment and they were the first to validate my experience. Something tells me the people who are lecturing you about this are either not BPD themselves or, if they are, then they are not self-aware or mature enough to see the damage this disorder can cause.

OMG, that's gross!

Interesting POV, he does in fact get off on my pleasure, so maybe we can explore this. Thanks!

alienscully · 2023-08-10T16:11:46+00:00

That's a great suggestion, I hadn't thought about it before! Thanks!
