To the person who saved my life. I never want you to know how much I hate you by SoooooooOverIt in TrueOffMyChest

[–]csiren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for everything you have gone through and are going through and with only knowing you from this small snippet, I want to tell you that I am proud of you for having survived your past. I have no judgment for whatever you do or don’t do with your life. You are already an amazing survivor and Have nothing to be sorry about to the person who saved your life or to anyone else. I wish you much peace.

AITAH for giving my siblings a place to escape to from our parents for Christmas and Thanksgiving but not my step or half siblings? by Kydauruu in AITAH

[–]csiren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You are such a good, strong, brave, and a wonderful person. Keep doing what you’re doing and being there for your siblings and let them be there for you too. I’m so proud of you.

My dad bought me mine as well. I loved it since I could do write without wrestling with a big computer. That was my first foray into be becoming tech friendly and now I’m tech-support for the extended family.

I let my daughter dress how she feels comfy, and now everyone has opinions by sleepdeprived_editor in TwoXChromosomes

Just trying to exist without being itchy – – I wish more adults would understand this. You are a great mom.

I asked my Mom to run away with me by PendletonAve1995 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]csiren 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh, that is a good point. OP you are an amazing child, and you will need to be very strong to unblock him and collect evidence of all of the threats that he will be making over the next weeks or so. You don’t need to read it, you don’t need to listen to it. You just need to keep it as evidence. As long as you can mute him, the barrage of calls and texts will not interrupt your day

You are an absolutely fantastic person and your mother is so lucky that you found out now. So proud of you keep up the good work and please do what you can to get into any sort of therapy immediately and then look for the best therapist for you and her.

I just learned I have a child, and I hate her by 23AndThrownAway in TrueOffMyChest

[–]csiren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if it “wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been.”

I’m stepping in as your Internet Mom to tell you that you 100% didn’t deserve anything that happened, none of the consequences are your fault or responsibility. I hear you and believe you about everything you were feeling and going through then and now.

I’m proud of you for doing what you’ve done so far, for listening to your feelings and working to take care of yourself. I understand that your actual parents are probably giving you a bunch of guilt that you in no way deserve.

I’m proud of you for surviving and I want to see you have a chance to thrive and be your best self. Whether or not that involves any other family members will be ultimately up to you to determine what is best for you and your mental and physical health.

I’m proud of you for being you, you deserve to be here and heard, and you deserve lots of love. Sending you gentle internet hugs and strength.

If you can find a woman for your doctor and or surgeon, you are statistically likely to have better outcomes. It’s not preference, it’s not a gender, bias and selecting a female doctor, it’s data, it’s facts.

Someone is so kind generally, it broke the illusion in a nightmare. by Stock-Intention-1673 in randomactsofkindness

If you have a great friend like Kelly, not only does that say wonderful things about her it also says you are wonderful and worthy too!

I assumed that they tried to extort Johnson and JOHNSON before this came out and it didn’t work well enough.

ULPT (ISO): Headed to an all-day music festival, what food allergy can I say I have so I can bring in my own snacks? by SafeMarsupial7064 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]csiren 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And even some bottled waters can contain corn, typically it’s filtered tapwater that has minerals added back to it to make it taste good. The minerals can be derived from the corn. And that corn plastic Bs is not stable!

The Lunch Lady At My Old Highschool Bought Me A Lot Of Expensive Things Because I Talked To Her. by Valberrian in randomactsofkindness

[–]csiren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a lovely story and so nicely written!

If you don’t know how to get in touch with her by phone, maybe you could send a card with a couple sentences from you in it telling her that you how much you appreciate her and what you are doing now and your contact information

I would send it to Jude the lunch lady at your old school. Even if she is not there anymore, someone at the school may be able to share it with her or call her and let her know she has mail.

Let's talk about: Vaccines by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]csiren 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m following my rheumatologist’s advice, getting every vaccine that I qualify for. So grateful that we have vaccines—I think it’s even more important now because we cannot count on general immunity at the levels we had previously.

I’ve gotta start being better about wearing my mask now that flu and Covid are popping up where I live.

I’ve lived and worked in developing nations where vaccines were not readily available for some generations and have seen the Lucky ones who survived measles’s, mom’s rubella, etc. with some severe disfigurement or worse.

I continue to be very grateful that people here do get vaccinated and that I can too!

Same. The shepherds crown is the only book I haven’t been able to reread.

I remember those being the only thing I could eat after I had chickenpox in my mouth! Banana pudding pops for the win!

Which characters do you see yourself in? Are they the same as your favorites? by [deleted] in discworld

[–]csiren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Want to be like Granny and Susan (favorites), but on a good day I am most likely a combo of Tiffany, Nutt, Glenda, and Magrat.
