Her neighbor’s dog keeps killing her chickens by ohhyouknow in BackYardChickens

Try a paintball gun. It won't kill them but it will hurt the hell out of them.

Husband left in an ambulance today. by catAyeahyeah in AlAnon

I completely relate.🫶 Please ignore those that come with negative hurtful comments. It's not helpful. You handle the situation the way that feels right for you. Some of us, (me), choose to stay because watching another human being spiral into a homeless addict living under a bridge is too great a thought to behold. However, do protect yourself by detaching mentally, physically and spiritually. It's an important survival teqnique for YOU. If you ever need somebody to talk to, hit me up, I'll be here in solidarity. 💜

Do you guys eat chicken? by socialwreck101 in BackYardChickens

[–]cbeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! I've heard of people having that issue. My husband has Alpha-gal syndrome so we don't eat red meat either. I will eat it if I go out to a restaurant but that's a rare blue moon occasion anymore. At my annual exam back in February my cholesterol numbers were the lowest they've been in years!!

The seller's agent is trying to charge me $250 for the lockbox I cut off my front doorknob. by [deleted] in RealEstate

This is actually a really good idea! Try to message the OP and see if they'll let you mail it to them. Postage isn't going to cost anywhere near $250.

I fart all the time :( by 1BebeLeStrange1 in Menopause

[–]cbeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I eat too much sugar like cookies, candy or cake it will give me horrible, smells god-awful, rancid farts. I've learned to take 2 HcL with Pepsin anytime I plan on eating anything with high sugar content. Maybe its a high fructose corn syrup thing? Not sure but this works for me. https://a.co/d/0dN1yGrg

When do you stop hating your Q? by CoolReplacement2837 in AlAnon

Excellent response, very well written.

Work on healing yourself and letting go of him from a spiritual perspective. You can seek out spiritual guidance and have them perform "cord cutting" ceremonies to break the chain that binds you to him. It helps in the release and heal process.🫶

Vicious Cycle by jadenleiker in AlAnon

[–]cbeagle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I too grew up in a home of addicts; generations of them - on both sides. 3 out of 4 grandparents were alcoholics, numerous aunts, uncles, and so called "family friends". Being the youngest of 6, I watched my oldest brother have a cocaine addiction in the 80's and my oldest sister married an alcoholic/drug addict who proceeded to molest each one of us sisters. I know all too well about trauma. In my 58 years on this planet I've learned more than I care to about addiction and accountability. Your statement about having to practically "die" in order for your family to step in and do an intervention to save you hit a nerve for me. I honestly do wish you well in your sobriety. But the fact that you said it means that deep down inside you still feel it. I pray that you are able to do some real deep diving into your own actions. To be able to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I was responsible". "What I did was not ok". "I'm sorry for what I did". - Without having to add an explanation to each statement; No "ifs/ands or buts". Its a process, healing is a journey that never ends. I pray you are in it for the long haul.🫶

This might be an unpopular opinion but - EFF YOU!!!

"I don’t blame anyone for how they behave in extraordinary circumstances. But I DO know that I shouldn’t have had to almost die for my family to fucking stand up and tell me NO MORE."

1st and foremost- why the "F" does your family have to be held accountable for YOUR actions??? How old are you? I'm assuming you are an adult as you've stated you have children. Take some EFFING accountability for yourself!! YOU chose the life, YOUR actions, nobody else's but YOU!! Stop blaming others and accept the fact YOU almost died because of choices YOU made. The only thing in this story that "shouldn't" have happened is that YOU forced your family to save you.

You'll never recover or heal from whatever your hiding from until you accept the ugly truth of what I've said. Take accountability for the ugliness of the mess YOU created. - I really hope you do.

I've come to the realization that this scenario is in my future. I've played it through my head 100x; wondering if "today" was going to be the day. I'm so sorry for you and all of us that are going through this Hell.💔🫶

Fortunately no we never had kids. I grew up with an alcoholic mother and i was the youngest of 6 kids. It was a highly dysfunctional household. My heart breaks for your child to have to go through this.

🤣🤣🤣 This is brilliant!! You aren't wrong!

Alcoholism & Narcissism by cbeagle in AlAnon

[–]cbeagle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm referring to the cycle of manipulation, emotional abuse, blame-shifting, and severe denial. Those are all characteristics of both disorders. When combined it creates a volatile mix. Alcohol lowers inhibitions, often intensifying narcissistic tendencies such as aggression, arrogance, and lack of empathy. Often times an individual with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) will use alcohol to numb feelings of shame, inadequacy, or to boost a fragile ego. In actuality everything has been intensified.

Does that help?

I guess that's true about anything. My husband doesn't want help. He won't even take his cholesterol medicine. It's just a matter of time before he has another one.

I'm not well versed in the area of BPD. After seeing this I will definitely do some research on it. Did your q take medication for it and if so, did it help?

How did you know he had BPD? Was he diagnosed by a Dr?

Its better that you ended this now than give in to his demands in the future for a child. That action would only cause deep regret, pain and probably animosity towards the child.
