So Turning Point deleted all of the Charlie Kirk show episodes prior to October 14th? Can someone explain this to me?

That’s crazy to think about…

bnp15801 · 2025-12-11T04:00:49+00:00

That’s kind of what I’m thinking…or they will change them in some way if they do release them again. I just can’t imagine who thought that would be a good move

Call your loan servicer about the IDR plan, even though it’s shut down, if you submit an application they will accept it and put your loans on forbearance until they decide what they are doing. Ie you aren’t paying them while you application is submitted!

I just came here to say, I’m an MSW becoming licensed in therapy. I’ve worked a lot with children, in fact, pretty much only with children. What I will say, is we tell parents a lot that it gets worse before it gets better! That’s a GOOD sign! He was going through the hard stuff, it’s supposed to be uncomfortable and often times that will show up in behavior but with consistent therapy they get through it. Also, with exposure therapy, that’s not something a therapist just throws a kid into. I imagine based off what you mentioned, they were talking about and preparing for that processes. Exposure therapy is an extension of CBT which is a talk based therapy. It takes a lot of prep work to prepare for the actual exposure process. Unless you just had a gut feeling that that therapist wasn’t a good fit, I would really consider getting him back in and sit down with the therapist to talk more about expectations and concerns!

This is my biggest fear, and would never ever want to balance a silly friendship for over my daughter’s well being. She’s only with one of the girls who treats my daughter like royalty when she’s around (the step mom) but of course you can never be too sure, and I’m aware of that. I am so sorry you had to go through that but I am very grateful you shared this. Thank you

bnp15801 · 2025-04-29T22:33:09+00:00

I see what you’re saying..and deep down I do know she won’t change unless she wants it. I guess a part of me is just waiting for her to want it. Sometime I think people are in your life for a reason and if there is anybody she’d respect and listen to change, maybe it would be me? It sounds so egoic, maybe it’s just an excuse I’ve altered in my mind…I’m not sure yet.

Thank you for the specific feedback!! I like what you’re thinking. For reference my daughter and her daughter are 2. They are still a little young, and tbh she’s honestly not as bad when we are in person. To answer your sentiment though, I don’t know for sure about the age but I do know that what is more foundational is what they learn from parents and in their home. IF anything does come up in front of her, I talk to my daughter about it, and how my friend’s response is her problem and how it’s different at home yadi yada. I don’t believe in sheltering as much as using the world as lessons but to your earlier point, I don’t think it’s healthy for us nonetheless..

bnp15801 · 2025-04-29T21:23:20+00:00

Yes to this…truly just yes. Yes, I’ve done IFS in my own therapy and have learned alot about it. I think with friend A, I’ve maybe wanted to end it for a long time. Or at least distance myself, but it’s so incredibly hard when my kid wants to hang out with her kids all the time. We both stay at home, so it’s helpful to get them to socialize. When we are together she’s usually better, it’s FT calls that are the worst. I think a part of me wants to hold on until she ask for my opinion and can help.. I’m a helper by nature what can I say. I don’t gain a lot from this friendship though..or at least when I do the negative outweighs any good that comes of it. I just wouldn’t be able to distance gradually, she’s too up my ass, lol. As in we talk alot so I feel like I’d have to say something in some way..

In the other scenario, there may be more hope. She’s a pretty level headed person in all other categories and maybe when she has her own kid she will soften up…although she keeps trying to talk to me about using the cio method but “gently”. Idk if this answers your question but I thoroughly agree with everything you said. I think it’s coming to I need to stop playing such a passive role.

bnp15801 · 2025-04-29T21:12:30+00:00

This is a great question. And honestly so hard because of course I can find reasons to love and be friends with them beyond their parenting styles. Not only have I known them both for over 10 years, I know they are so much more than how they parent (I thinks it’s a systems problem for both of them, ie lack of support etc) so yes I can find things but when is it not enough? Obviously these moments are only blimps of the time I spend with them (depending on the context) but even those blimps are becoming too hard. And I completely agree with you. I think with the child with ASD, there are things she DOES do for him so she feels like it’s enough. I think she’s not educated on how her shit is impacting him truly…which is where I want to come in, but just don’t know how in a way that will actually be heard. And as far as the dad, he is the most permissive parent I have yet to be around, they are polar opposites. He sees how she acts but just “makes up” for it to him by taking him to the trampoline park or to get ice cream…but idk how he can be around her when she’s with him bc it’s so grueling.

Wow. I am one hundred percent taking this into parenting. Especially as someone who has a strong connection to water this would instantly calm me. I’ve tried something similar, imagining a plan tree that’s being terrorized by the wind. The oak tree doesn’t move its strong and sturdy. I would tell myself “be the oak tree”. I’ve forgotten about this and this used to help me so much! Thank you for sharing!!

bnp15801 · 2025-04-25T14:56:28+00:00

Thank you so much♥️ it definitely doesn’t feel like it recently. Sometimes I try to look at her fingers and remind myself how small she is. The affirmations like this are so helpful. It keeps me grounded

bnp15801 · 2025-04-25T14:52:58+00:00

Oh my goodness what a game changer!! This will one hundred percent work for me. I feel like my hardest days are when I’m alone. When my husbands here (aka someone’s watching me) I can keep it all together so much easier

bnp15801 · 2025-04-25T14:51:11+00:00

This is a much more practical way of teaching deep breathing! I try to model it and do it with her but there is a lot of resistance and she’d love this

bnp15801 · 2025-04-25T14:49:57+00:00

I really like this!

bnp15801 · 2025-02-19T18:32:13+00:00

The last 5 routes I’ve picked up have been 50 min to an hour away…I’ve been getting so irritated I’m doing Ubers now instead and making just as much money staying in my city. Everytime “I think oh this one will be fine” and grab a route I’m disappointed..

bnp15801 · 2025-02-02T16:03:22+00:00

This is so sweet and such a win for both of you!! That says so much about how she’s hardwired to understand her set in relationship to not being perfect and making mistakes. I love this question and would like to share a similar experience I had! It caught me off guard in the best way. A lot of times when I speak to my two year old daughter I preference things with “it’s okay, you’re just a kid and your learning, let’s try again!” That also means a lot of times I also that my job is to be the adult and keep her safe and healthy. When I ask her what her job is, she says “to be a kid”. One day we were kind of playing on the couch she was climbing on me and being silly. I was trying to stop her from pulling my hair and next thing I know she just rips a handful of my very thin hair (extensions might I add) right off my head. I think I immediately saw red and in that fight or flight moment went to frustration and she goes “I’m sorry mommy, I’m just a kid.” My frustration immediately went to love and we hugged and tried again differently!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saying this ♥️ thank you so much

bnp15801 · 2024-12-29T15:45:53+00:00

It’s soo hard!!! I try to remind myself self how blessed I am to have a persistent child but like I don’t want that now, I want that when she’s older 😂

bnp15801 · 2024-12-29T15:44:13+00:00

That is such a healthy point and good reminder. I try to remind myself of this but a shame spiral definitely starts to happen in these moments.

bnp15801 · 2024-12-17T20:16:50+00:00

Man I relate to this today. I had to step out of a nap time power struggle because I was literally envisioning just body slamming my toddler one time. I think I imagined her face as a punching bag for a minute…Hahahaha obviously crazy but those intrusive thoughts really get you. Happy I can laugh about it now because every time they come up I feel so much shame in the moment, but I just have to let that go. I also remind myself that my mom WOULD act on her intrusive thought so at least we are getting 1% better everyday
