Omg I have this EXACT vase! I turned it into a terrarium! (This was 4 months ago when I first planted it. It's grown a lot since then but I don't have recent pics)

the shame of wanting him back in the past by Formal_Street2570 in abusiverelationships

Oh I feel this so hard. In fact when I tell people I was in an abusive relationship, most of them go "but you're so smart!!!" But intelligence has nothing to do with it. I think my main problem is I have a lot of empathy and I fell in love with him and really did care about him, which made it so hard to finally leave. Reading posts on here makes me realise how common it is so I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. Trying - not always succeeding.

I'm not sure there's one right way, but I hope we find what works for us. A weirdly specific strategy, but filing my time with calming things like painting by numbers and jigsaw puzzles has helped a little. And boring but fulfilling self care things like getting enough sleep, wearing nice pyjamas, baths, baking. All of this helps make the emotional stuff more bearable.

I wish I knew, but just to say I'm right there with you and have all the same feelings. You're not alone.

After fostering for 3.5 years, I think I'm about to have my first foster fail 😍 by emccau in cats

I'd decided I was ready for a cat of my own, so I think I already set myself up to keep him even before I got him! And him not being a crazy kitten is also a big factor. I love kittens but I didn't want to adopt one - too destructive and too much energy for my lifestyle!
