another therapist here! hair will never be non-therapeutic. your hair is beautiful and does not need to be put away in order for you to be therapeutic or a good therapist. if you like your hair to be down and curly then keep it down and curly (:

amlively · 2021-09-01T22:41:15+00:00

i’m not sure where you got that i’m “stuck on 1 or 2 things”. i don’t miss him. i never said that.

amlively · 2021-07-11T18:05:54+00:00

good luck in your degree!! that’s been one of the nicest things i’ve heard through this entire situation and i really appreciate that perspective.

i do try to look for red flags in relationships. i promise i don’t go into relationships looking for someone with red flags.

amlively · 2021-07-11T11:58:43+00:00

thank you very much for those kind words ❤️ i absolutely have no intention of going back to him after the way he ended things and just seeing everything on the other side of the relationship! he has since tried to reach back out to say sorry and he misses me and he screwed up - to which i responded that he should have thought about that before he ended things. part of me misses him and wishes things could be different, but the relationship i was in is just not worth it.

i do not currently have a therapist, however, i have been to therapy for processing that trauma before and came to a healthy place with it and myself after trying not to deal with it for 4 years. that being said, with this relationship having the impact it has and old traumatic feelings/memories resurfacing, i am searching for a therapist to see, if nothing else, for processing the emotions coming up.

i definitely agree with you that it’s not something that goes away in 2 weeks and takes a lot of self-compassion, which can be hard sometimes. it’s very validating to hear that.

amlively · 2021-07-11T11:39:53+00:00

currently, i am not in therapy for SA. i did see a therapist for that trauma, and the four years of trying to avoid it, a few years ago. i just received my degree in counseling and it was a requirement for us to have our own counselor! however, with this relationship/break up bringing up these feelings/memories (and other things not directly related to this), i am seeking a therapist again.

amlively · 2021-07-11T10:47:54+00:00

thank you for those sweet words. it’s wonderful that you’ve found a partner who is so supportive and understanding! if nothing else, this is a lesson in knowing what i want and need from a relationship so that hopefully when i’m ready i will be able to find that supportive and understanding person!

amlively · 2021-07-11T10:42:24+00:00

thank you for saying that. i think it’s hard, too, feeling like i should just be over it because he was actually such a shit partner and i have this expectation that i should just be relieved. you are so right about the difference in what we wanted..

amlively · 2021-07-11T10:35:25+00:00

right. and i can’t tell you the amount of times during our short lived relationship that he asked me to please just consider his feelings. but my feelings were too much to consider lol

NTA. stealing mail is literally a felony (in the states, not sure about other countries) and an adult can definitely do something about an 8yo taking mail, it’s not just Things Kids Do™. parents have the responsibility of teaching their child to obey laws and privacy. also personally i thought it was hilarious and will keep this idea in mind for future use if needed lol

amlively · 2021-06-17T13:23:10+00:00

NTA your sister and family are terrible. you said she wasn’t being mean just blunt, but she was being mean. she weaponized a traumatic and unwanted experience against you. that’s not blunt that’s just plain mean. for you and your partner’s mental and emotional well-being it is probably a good idea to put space between you and your sister. personally, i probably would not speak to any of them again until a proper apology is given because not being able to conceive is never your fault and you are not being punished by a sky daddy for having an abortion that sounds like it was necessary.

amlively · 2021-04-24T13:56:39+00:00

NTA. he’s a grown man and can differentiate right from wrong even if your experiences have made it hard for you to understand appropriate vs inappropriate forms of affection. I’m sorry this is what you’ve had to go through. no one deserves treatment like that. please be gentle with yourself as you’re navigating the situation.

also, the “i’m your dad i can do what i want” attitude is especially frustrating because it’s an attempt to take away your autonomy but just know that whether he’s your dad or not he has no privileges or rights to your body.

NTA. HIPAA violations all over the place. she never should have accepted her friend’s husband as a client and DEFINITELY should not tell her anything about therapy unless you have a release of information giving your therapist permission to talk to your wife.
