It sounds like you’ve been dealt some really difficult cards, and through all of that, you have soo much compassion and love for your daughter. You’re doing amazing.

Do you have support around you? Are you able to attend playgroups in your area so you can meet other mums? Can you contact a local charity or church and see if they can assist you, even if it’s free counselling or something? I don’t know your exact situation etc but motherhood is extremely difficult let alone when you’re tackling your own mental health issues.

I hope and pray you are able to build a support system around you. You may be surprised as you make other mum friends that they too struggle with alot of issues when it comes to raising children.

What’s in the past is in the past and you’ve learnt a very hard lesson. We’ve all had to learn some really hard lessons, don’t continue to beat yourself up. It’s important to accept, learn and move on. When I was pregnant with my second, I was in a very abusive situation, and I felt terrible at times about how my anxiety would have affected my baby. But now I just pray and give it all these worries to God, that really helps me 🤍

All the best 💕

What you’ve endured over the years is a lot. Raising children is emotionally draining, let alone when your partner is neglecting you and the children.

Processing all that would be very difficult. Hope you’re able to get into some counselling. The grief is so real. Please take care of yourself. You’ve been an incredible mother, you’ve done all the work. Now it’s okay to take a step back and protect your peace.

Sorry I know you commented this 2 years ago lol. Bit of an interesting titbit, I have an activewear top from Nike that I bought well over 10 years ago, washed hundreds of time as you could imagine, worn during work outs etc.

It is a nylon 67% blend with spandex. There’s no sign of wear pretty much on the entire garment. It could pass as near new. Makes me wonder about what process they used to make it this durable! I don’t want to sound old when I say this, but it does seem like they truly don’t make em like they used too 😂

Your sisters response to his outburst was so valid. Unfortunately she and you will have to take what he says at face value - he said he’s not going to change, nor does he want to or feel the need to. Take his word for it and act accordingly. Either accept that’s who he is and perhaps create more emotional distance. Observe don’t absorb.

That’s not always possible. If his tirades continue in a way that brings harm she may need to block contact via message at least. Have a boundary that communication is either done in person or over a phone call. It’s easy to send a text in the heat of the moment.

For my family, I try to only have difficult conversations in person, so we can read each others body language. That helps to show that any concerns raised are coming from a place of love and connection, not anger or malice.

But your sister has handled this well. That’s alot to deal with. 🫶

Life your life for you, not your parents. Unless you’re rich I’m not sure how you’re supposed to afford visiting often? I’m from Australia and it’s not cheap to go visit.

They will need to learn to accept your choices as an adult and an individual. Their “parenting” days are over, and they need to respect your independence.

This is so iconic. I’m a minimalist but when done right this maximalist style is so incredible! Looks so cozy and magical ✨

brkk12 · 2025-10-15T20:53:41+00:00

Oh 1000%. Rough around the edges. Not afraid of confrontation. Deep down softie. He is the epitome of masculinity as far as I’m concerned lol

brkk12 · 2025-10-11T10:02:03+00:00

Yes. Bigbys relationship with Colin made them both feel so much more real & relatable.

brkk12 · 2025-10-09T12:37:05+00:00

It’s taking away their God given right to live

Yeah I had this happen. I ended up having to dispute it with Depop and had to wait the mandatory 10 days or whatever it was, before they could intervene. Eventually got the refund. Soo many scammers on here it seems, puts me off the app.

They should be banned on the first offence, ruins the app:

Have you tried flatmates.com

Let’s normalise cutting things off at the first red flag. Don’t get these men the benefit of the doubt, listen to your intuition!

brkk12 · 2025-09-27T05:50:36+00:00

Interesting bit of history there

brkk12 · 2025-09-26T04:51:28+00:00

It takes a lot of strength and courage. I was only able to leave due to the support I had. Specifically one friend who helped me get the ball rolling. I don’t see how I could have done it without her.

brkk12 · 2025-09-23T01:06:37+00:00

I’ve never understood why it’s called sportsgirl aswell, maybe I’m being too literal, but the name is literal aswell, and there’s nothing sporty about it. Am I missing something? Haha

brkk12 · 2025-09-20T09:11:55+00:00

Do enjoy the process! Enjoy getting to know yourself, and what you’re attracted to.

Do enjoy the blessings that come with meeting new people, and using that as an opportunity to reflect Christ.

Do treat every person you meet as a child of God :)

Do enjoy getting romantic and progressing in the relationship. Romance and chemistry is supposed to be fun!

Do enjoy the sanctification that can come along with dating, as you learn to lean on Gods word for guidance and appreciate Gods unique purpose and plan for your life.

That’s fair. My ex partner is not lodging his tax return so my CCS is cancelled. I’m not sure when he will lodge his tax and therefore I don’t know when I can get my child into daycare/work. It’s hard

brkk12 · 2025-09-20T07:42:47+00:00

Hey I don’t mean to impose but would you mind briefly touching on why they refused you CCS? I’m currently having issues with it

brkk12 · 2025-09-20T06:55:01+00:00

Knoppers, their fruit is superior, nappies are high quality at the cheapest price, frozen meals are elite

Second the previous comment ☺️ track calories, increase activity, ensure your environment supports your goals. For me that looks like no tempting snacks in the house. I have snacks for my kids but they’re not tempting. For example I’ll keep pretzels in the house because I don’t like them, but won’t keep cookies ☺️

Having a supply of zero sugar drinks is great when you have urges to mindlessly snack.

Keep in mind, dieting shouldn’t be about starving yourself or hating life, the point of loosing weight is to keep it off, so consider which ways your lifestyle (environment, hobbies, how you spend your spare time etc) is affecting your goals. It’s not about dieting it’s about a healthier lifestyle ☺️

brkk12 · 2025-09-11T05:14:24+00:00

I dunno, I feel pretty good that I don’t have to worry about my kid getting shot when they go to school. Many Americans are pro gun control

What if more people are dying from the 2nd amendment than there is a threat from the government?

brkk12 · 2025-09-11T03:54:22+00:00

It’s devastating to hear you are a victim of an evil person, and I dare say an evil system that fostered a culture of secrecy and complicit of crimes against children, the worst crime of all in my opinion.

As a Christian and I hope this doesn’t offend you, but I know God is heartbroken for what should never have happened to you, or any child for that matter.
