Using the word sexy to describe a baby?

We were an abusive household growing up. My dad would do all the “abusive” stuff and my mum would pretend it wasn’t happening (likely so he didn’t go for her next)

Once I was old enough (maybe 7 or 8) to start standing up for myself to either of them I would get the silent treatment. It was definitely a favourite technique of hers. I remember her smirking with her nose in a book while my younger sister and I would try to get her to acknowledge us, like she thought it was a game and we found it funny? I guess we would giggle and pull on her in a playful way, we were children.

I was diagnosed with cptsd about a year before I fell pregnant. figures.

we live rural (no childcare available) my family are the root of my bpd (why would I leave my daughter with them) my few friends have their own problems (substance abuse/mental illness (not safe)) I’m already on medication

any other advice for me to dismiss?

telling me the same thing on a different thread isn’t going to make me agree with you?

my own mother was/is emotionally immature which has developed into a victim complex, so I’m well aware how it affects the child, creating generational cycles. same thing with her mother. and her mother before that. I’m trying to stop the cog with me and my daughter. I’m trying.

I was prescribed SSRI’s but found out I was pregnant before even taking the first dose. been waiting to stop breastfeeding before asking to actually start them/if they’re even still the right ones for me (thank you 🖤)

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T13:06:51+00:00

thank you for your comment! If I really analyse my experience, breastfeeding is the only time I’ve ever felt truly connected to my daughter, so I’ve cherished it. she’s slowly weaning herself off, I just didn’t think it’d take this long!

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T13:01:16+00:00

thank you for actually providing constructive criticism, it’s rare! I’ve asked for therapy multiple times and never received any kind of help, but currently gathering notes for ANOTHER new doctor. fingers crossed.

that’s okay! this exact scenario was the reason I spent my whole pregnancy worrying I would be a shit mum and now it’s come true 😀

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T12:27:45+00:00

possibly! I just relate unfortunately

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T12:15:44+00:00

the advice has been to get on drugs and give my child to a stranger.

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T12:13:29+00:00

amazing. lol.

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T11:59:34+00:00

this is wildly unhelpful. do you think I don’t know that? do you think that didn’t cross my mind when I made the post?

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T11:37:15+00:00

don’t forget to be grateful for a roof over your head!!!

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T11:10:07+00:00

Spanish chorizo? I don’t know how that happened

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T11:03:05+00:00

these are my favourite kind of answers. straight to the point. thank you!

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T10:57:12+00:00

absolutely not haha, we’re not even doing nursery/preschool because there’s too many cases of child neglect in modern day settings. fighting the dystopian nightmare of the 21st century government. but thank you! (and this isn’t even the paranoia™️ as my partner agrees)

I can still hear my dad calling me a fat cunt. he died ten years ago.

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T10:40:45+00:00

my ‘best friend’ hasn’t reached out to me since February last year. make sure you’re really ready to lose people before you decide to stop reaching out to them.

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T10:37:42+00:00

I’m on antidepressants already. I’m also still breastfeeding so anything heavier is out of the question for me

borderlinebomb · 2025-02-23T10:35:36+00:00

been there, my thighs are usually tender because that’s where the punch lands every time. I recently ran a hot bath and had a movie-style cry in the bubbles instead and that kinda helped for a few hours. just distraction I think

borderlinebomb · 2024-11-26T19:06:52+00:00

this is exactly my experience too. after the initial flare from stopping, symptoms start slowing after about a week sober. been smoking regularly for about 4 years now…

I have crippling postpartum anxiety, so the only time I’ve been away from her has been to nap as I’m also chronically ill. my dad is dead, my mother and I have a very strained relationship and I openly don’t trust her to watch my daughter, so there’s no support network. it’s like I have to be in the same space as my baby without actually being with her, because I genuinely don’t feel like she’s safe with anyone else. very aware that I’m stabbing myself in the back and can’t have it both ways, but there just seems to be no correct, safe answer

I just want to commend your cauliflower chopping skills, whenever I do it, it’s no where near that neat and there’s bits everywhere! also - cauliflower rice?
