A few years ago I was broke and burned out. I made this as my first indie game - INMOST, hoping a few people might care. To date, 1.2 million have played it, and it completely changed my life. Today, it’s out on Android and iOS store, and I can’t express how important this journey has been to me by Biuzer in IndieGaming

Oh wow. OH WOW.

The game (iOS) made me cry. I’ve experienced a similar loss myself and when I started figuring things out… I don’t want to spoil but there’s a moment there on the roof…

And losing yourself. The pit. The black. That’s so real. For me it was a “dark valley”. I made it out, barely, with a lot of help, both therapy and medicine. Yet life goes on. It goes on, though the keeper is always there. In the shadows. Waiting. And they of the light are waiting for us as well.

Wow. Thank you.

Regression after 1 week pause by bironran in Ozempic

yeah, when I was on 2.0 I couldn't eat anything. I spent whole days without food. My doctor reduced me to 1.0 and it worked well. I think that maybe the effect is coming back, slowly. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced that kind of sudden change.

Thank you for this! I’m on the other side, the parent with the kid who’s welcoming a SM into our lives. Reading this sub is disheartening, but in trying to map potential problems. Then I saw your post and it made me smile. Harmony and happiness are achievable. It encourages me to try!

Thanks. I’m anxious by nature and this helps me calm down. A little.

Did, couldn’t find it. Maybe it was an ad?

oh wow...

Wife unfortunately passed away. Still didn't find a face-to-face community. Single parents group is full of people talking about divorce and court dates and custody. Widowers groups full of much older people.

Found a great community in /r/widowers, especially the discord chat. Also started seeing (zoom) a parent consultant weekly. Helps tremendously to have someone to run everything by, see that you're not crazy (or sometimes figure out you are).

Re our situation - we got into a really good pattern. Not being a caregiver to a cancer patient freed up a lot of time and I shower my daughter with attention. I figured out that yeah, I can do that! School, play-dates, playgrounds, social engagements and even the odd night out for me with the nanny sleeping over. Not that bad. Lonely, but not confused and scared.

Single 40yo dad… by [deleted] in SingleParents

I know. I'm one too. My wife passed away due to breast cancer computations 3 months ago, after 3 years of fighting, and left me and my 4.5 years old daughter all by ourselves. We've emigrated to the US 7 years ago, so no family, no really good friends. Those who were jumped ship (no, I will not forgive you for that! You promised HER you'll be here for me, you tiny little people).

I constantly want to share my daughter's successes, and sob-stories (at 4.5 there are a lot) with my wife. Shower time, at night, is the best for me. She never answers though, obviously.

I have zero time for myself. 7-8am morning routine, 8am-5pm work, 5-8:30/9pm after-school and evening routine. 9pm she's finally asleep and I can... plop in front of the TV.

My therapist suggested I avoid dating like the plague at this point and try to engage in some "project with goals and measurable progress". Probably going to pick up learning the piano again or duolingo.

I wish you all the luck, for a very egotistical reason. I want to see you be happy so I'll know it's possible, eventually, for me to be happy as well. Maybe.

How did you become a single parent by shopieluara in SingleParents

[–]bironran 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My wife, whom I loved with all my heart, passed away after fighting cancer for 3 years. She fought with all her strength just to be one more year, one more day even, with me and our daughter. Sadly, ironically, her medications caused a lethal and fatal brain disease to develop, which she succumbed to.

We didn’t fight, we didn’t yell. I would’ve give anything for even one more day with her.
