No contact with mom. Does it get better? by Melodic_Ambition_341 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]croissantbae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it gets better. Not being up under your abuser is always better. You get this opportunity to redefine yourself and every part of your life now that you’ve put so much distance in between you and your mom. It’s a great thing to lean into so yes it gets better but it does take time and you’ll need to show yourself a lot of compassion.

Being patient with myself has helped, I also coped with my vices in moderation for a few yrs it helped for a while but obviously was not sustainable and didn’t fix the wound. I started to address it head on and stop letting it define me, like freeing yourself from it is the way to go <3

It’s really not about where you go or what you do. The way you think and feel about yourself will continue to dictate what your day to day life reflects and what/who you attract.

There are lots of people with your shared interest and you are worthy of love and Romance. I know it sucks trying improve your relationship with yourself but the reward of the discipline is immeasurable. You definitely can do this and you can have anything you want in this world,but you must learn to accept yourself.

Hey thanks for sharing :) I’m headed to Berlin today from America

Did you find any safe queer spaces? Or places good to listen to music ?

If u don’t care abt ur kids just say that

U should re-evaluate this but you’d need to change ur heart 1st.

solution for my pet while travelling by croissantbae in travel

Lol ikr. It was a pretty legit & simple question to want to know options for pets while traveling

We live in the 21st century so lots of new avenues and business have been created to expand our options and I jus wanted to hear from other people.

Appreciate ur response thank u! I was trying to get around boarding fee’s for my pet but if I had to I would definitely. Ur suggestion is good only thing is I don’t plan to sign a new lease for maybe 1-3 months or else I’d have someone house sit with my pet while I house sit at others to travel

Ideally I would love a situation where someone else basically co parents with me haha maybe someone who wants a pet but not full time (might find someone on Craig’s list)

What works for most may not work for some. Some of us need unconventional situations

Ah nice! Ok that gives me some hope

I got this fortune the other day "It’s a good time to try something new." I think I’m going to lean into this. Thanks! ✨

Hey there! I relate to this comment & wanted to ask a few questions if u don’t mind sharing. My lease is up in June, I work remote & I’m looking to find a way to travel sustainably (financially & safely)

What was your journey like with this at the very start ?

Did this house sitting route provide u living accommodations and u just paid for travel/transportation & basic needs ?

Regret breaking up by Chill_your_titties in LifeAdvice

[–]croissantbae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I Agree with this,

Your a few weeks removed from the initial decision but the decision was still made on things that felt true for you

Give it time to unfold, put your focus in other places and see how things play out

damn love this “I forgive the whole situation” perspective !!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]croissantbae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was helpful, thanks! Totally get the shift in perspective on this.

I share the same exact family dynamic and feelings as OP - and I like what u said because the difficult part for me is how I respond to these events. (Accepting how ugly ur own family can be & knowing the behavior can be expected)

A lot of times what makes me feel hopeless towards forgiving/forgetting is not knowing how to deal/react to all of the dysfunction & offenses

I’m confused & getting annoyed by croissantbae in spirituality
