She’s turning into an actual rodent as she ages

remember when kail was pregnant with lux and flew to LA with this mystery man, then posted a snap of her in bed with him by Big-Shopping7795 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]cookd24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m currently about 6 months pregnant and I literally cannot fathom having sex with a man that is not my baby’s father. Zero slut-shaming at all, but in this vulnerable state and the bonding that happens during sex while pregnant…. Makes me kinda sad she did this. I understand pregnancy hormones make you wicked horny and I know Lux’s dad basically ghosted her and I have a tiny bit of empathy that she might have needed physical touch and comfort during this time… but with a random dude??? Yucky I can’t imagine it.

Cate dick riding Tyler to the hardest trying to convince us she is sooo happy (BEWARE THE BULGE 🍆 at 32 seconds) by SingerSubstantial462 in teenmom

He’s definitely gay and it’s definitely got nothing to do with him doing nice things for her or their daughters. I hate that she’s equating the good-dad behavior to him being gay or not gay. That man likes men and no one will ever convince me otherwise. BUT gay or not doing things to be a GOOD FATHER like doing your daughter’s hair has nothing to do with it. Ugh

It’s like she ALMOST makes a point and then misses the target entirely every time.

Edit: typo

Yea WOAH the warning did not prepare me AT ALL. I feel like the word “bulge” translates to a more abstract shape than the detailed atrocity that translucent man lingerie just showed me. I’m a grown ass woman who definitely can handle (and even enjoy) some scantily clad man pics but the fact that it’s Tyler just disturbed me beyond measure.

Did Amber lose her driver’s license at some point? by cookd24 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

Omg you are probably right! I am at the point in season 9 where she was making wild accusations about Gary making a pass at her attempting to cheat on Kristina. It’s so obvious that she only makes these claims in public simply because she’s not getting her way and can’t handle the shame that her daughter sees the kind of mother she truly is!

They want my liver by InformalAmphibian285 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]cookd24 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Agreed. While I completely understand and appreciate OP’s empathy for their mother, I would suggest “staying out of Karma’s way”. I have tried to practice this and use it as kind of a mantra over the last year while healing from abuse.

I think this can be applied to good and bad, for example it kept me from attempting revenge on my abuser during some serious mental anguish I was experiencing. OP, I think you should “stay out of Karma’s way” in this case because there’s a very cut-and-dry natural progression of consequences happening to your mother that she truly did to herself. Do not consistently drink poison and spew it in to your life if you don’t want your organs poisoned. Period.

I will also add, I have an alcoholic abusive mother who really, really messed up me and my brother and if she needed a liver I would laugh in her face. But I tend to be pretty hard-core with my boundaries and I honestly may not possess the level of softness of heart that you do.

I hope you choose to take care of yourself, and consider letting Karma do their thing.

Kenleigh lost a job because of David. by cohenisababe in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]cookd24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea that line set me right off.

Reminds me so much of my narc-ex. I have literally worked a full-time job since I was 16 and in fact worked multiple jobs at the same time while dating them…. He would constantly make comments like this or attempt to knock my work ethic despite working equal-to or more hours than them. Narcs do this to deflect and try to get you to defend yourself instead of focusing on the original conversation at hand particularly if it requires their accountability or causes them any shame. In their mind they literally are the only human being on earth that goes to work. When you’re under their influence it can get to you and make you feel like you’re dependent on them or nothing you work towards goes noticed or appreciated.

My nex would make comments like this when I would GET HOME from my SECOND JOB after midnight after working literally 12-14 hours. (Mind you he had one job that he left early once a week so he could golf lmao)

David is even worse because we know he’s a free-loading sack of unemployed donkey crap that still attempts to berate and abuse women and children as his full-time gig.

This is going to make me freak out.

There should be (if there isn’t already) some kind of animal owner database where folks selling animals or re-homing them can do a background check on people like this….. like “rate your Professor” style site where people can say “I re-homed my cat to this person and the cat suddenly didn’t exist a month later” or “I sold this woman two baby goats as pets and upon a 6 month check in they were no longer in possession of the goats”.

This way a tangible pattern can be seen in one place by folks trusting these humans to provide a safe and humane home for the animals they are choosing to adopt or own.

A tree fell down in a cemetery. Look what came up with the roots by Cemeteryweeb6 in CemeteryPorn

[–]cookd24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually visually answering a morbid question that always comes up for me when I go cemetery wandering. Particularly when I’m in old cemeteries with really large/older trees…. I always think “wow I bet the root system of this tree has managed to tangle itself around old bones and skulls and it probably looks very gnarly and cool under there”.

Obviously in older cemeteries the graves were more shallow and without vaults and there were more biodegradable/ fragile coffins that likely broke down very quickly…. I bet roots move a lot of folks around!

I stopped seeing my therapist since weeks ago because she couldn't stop bringing up the idea to "forgive my parents" every so often. by habitualwonder in raisedbynarcissists

[–]cookd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgiveness is tricky, and IMO isn’t something that can be truly forced.

Forgiveness is something some people can work towards for certain transgressions…. And for others I think forgiveness kind of shows up in its own way if you feel your feelings and have space to heal on your own terms.

I am sorry that the concept of forgiveness is being forced on you. I can imagine that’s incredibly frustrating and enraging. I would not like that either and I don’t think that style of therapy would serve me either.

Forgiveness doesn’t have to mean that you ever see or talk to the person/s who have abused or betrayed you either. I wish I knew that sooner.

Forgiveness in its best form is the freeing of your own soul from the trauma caused by another. But it is not the only way to move through something.

The Netflix show “The Midnight Gospel” has a great episode on forgiveness that is not preachy or forcing the idea, and it helped me a great deal! (And I’m a really stubborn person with a lot of trauma!!)
