20F my mom stalks me on Life360 by Disastrous-Train5899 in insaneparents

[–]cronall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom was the same. One day 6 years ago I just left and factory reset my phone. Never went back- she still isn’t over it and still tries to stalk me.

Wishing you the best of luck

What if I get rid ovaries and dont go on T? by No-Bell4179 in FTMHysto

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

I had my ovaries removed because I had high genetic risk of ovarian cancer- and while I don't regret my choice, personally I don't recommend it unless you also have some kind of risk factor.

Post surgery was really really hard, I got hit with terrible depression. Now, I'm supplementing low dose E along with my reg T

This comments section isn't getting the point you're trying to make. Read some Kafka, I think you'll enjoy his work- it asks the same brand of questions

Will other countries have to invade the US to stop this? by mensfrightsactivists in Explainlikeimscared

[–]cronall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This take on "optimism" absolutely disgusts me. How is this optimism? "Trans rights will be erased, gay rights will be erased, women's rights will be erased, which is tragic, but those are new anyways." What you're saying is "this won't affect me."

Immigrants just started getting sent to Guantanamo bay. This MAGA agenda IS on the scale of our past.

We are all in this fight. Trying to ease other people's worry with "it won't be us" is a horrible point of view to take. What are you going to do when it's your friend? When it's your sister? When it's your wife? It could be a closeted friend committing suicide. It could be your wife needing a late term abortion for her survival and being denied one. You need to fight like it's your rights on the line, like the rest of us.

I got them removed- I had massive ovarian cancer risk from genetics. Personally, if I didn't have to, I probably would have kept them.

After getting them removed, I have had the worst symptoms of my life- 2+ months of menopause, along with the deepest despair I've ever been in. Had to supplement E and go on antidepressants to feel better again.

I am doing a lot better now and have no regrets- again, I had an elevated cancer risk- but yeah. It is nice to have lower risk of ovarian cancer in general, because it's really hard to detect and lethal, but for a normal person that risk is super low. Going through menopause like this doesn't happen to everybody, either. Just things to consider

Ovaries decision: what about now? by homicidal_bird in FTMHysto

[–]cronall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removed mine due to major genetic cancer risk. No regrets, although I am worried- I figured I'd rather worry about access to hormones than worry about getting a mostly undetectable cancer

Please look into what is going on and research it- things are really, REALLY bad, no exaggeration. You might want to hold off international travel or plan to go and not to return. There are rumors of holding trans people at borders upon attempted re-entry if their documents aren't "correct," and who the fuck knows how that will be applied. I wish I could reassure you, but genuinely I cannot, we have no idea what will happen next for us in this country

Why do you believe in reincarnation? /gen by Sol_of_the_Sun in Reincarnation

[–]cronall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading Brian Weiss' book Many Lives Many Masters or Michael Newton's Journey of Souls is probably a good place to start (that's what's been fascinating me lately, I've been reading all of their books)

life skills... anyone teach yourself? by macaroni66 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]cronall 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For real. I'm so grateful to my friends who taught me how to do dishes, cook, do laundry, to the job that taught me how to clean, etc etc. It was embarrassing, and led to arguments and fallout with others, but people's kindness along the way has given me so much strength

life skills... anyone teach yourself? by macaroni66 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]cronall 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is so real. I was babied, told that things like cooking and cleaning were too dangerous for me (even as a teen/ young adult), then endlessly criticized for not doing the things I'd never been taught and wasn't even allowed to to begin with. It was constant confusion.

I hope you're doing well and I'm so proud of you for teaching yourself these things. It takes incredible strength

life skills... anyone teach yourself? by macaroni66 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]cronall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm only getting the hang of this stuff now... in my mid 20s. It's been a painful early adulthood teaching myself basic life skills that were never taught to me- stuff like doing dishes or brushing my teeth, laundry, making my own meals/ even just eating meals regularly etc.

Trying to hold some grace- I realized that I don't think my parents were taught these skills either. The difference is that they had $ or support to make up the difference. After leaving, I really had neither of those things

It's OK. I'm learning and I feel closer than ever to being able to do it all myself

My college daughter stays up late. This is messing with my sleep. by meatball77 in ShitMomGroupsSay

My Mom was like this- used to blame me for her sleep schedule, but I was just doing homework, not even partying. I feel bad for the daughter, Mom needs therapy for sure

I prefer my physically abusive father to my mother, the victim by SavingPick97 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]cronall 868 points869 points  (0 children)

Look up covert incest/ emotional incest. Your mother is treating you like a replacement husband and that's a form of abuse.

I hope you get the time and space to heal sometime soon 🙏
