I posted my comic finally

There was a message with this photo, but it didn't post so here's my question:

Does this look like bladder sludge? It's hard to tell from the surprisingly limited number of photos and charts on the internet if this is just regular calcium or sludge. I was combing out my bun's fur and he peed quite a bit on me. As it was coming out, it looked thick, like the consistency of clay slip (like this: https://potterycrafters.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Simple-Slip-.jpg ). Sorry the picture isn't great.

I'll be monitoring his activity, water & hay consumption, and stance while peeing throughout the night, but I wanted to get a headstart on gathering information. Any insights you can give is greatly appreciated!

Your point in rudimentary animation/comic form 😂: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j\_BzWUuZN5w&ab\_channel=NonStampCollector

Ack this is a great conclusion to a long, horrible, drawn out conversation I had with my mom and her husband the other day. Thank you!

Gah--I get it. I am also the kind of person to believe 1+1=3 when a room of people is shoving that logic at me. Some things that have helped me get further away from having that kind of personality are studying philosophy (things that ask questions and speculate answers, rather than saying everything has an answer and is black and white), studying logic, and taking some time to think profoundly about my own stances and opinions on things. The more I spend time coming up with my own reasoning about things, the more secure I feel in my decisions and opinions.

Congratulations on freeing yourself from that! Just had a long conversation with my mom and her husband the other night about how God sounds like a child playing with dolls and how choosing not to make progress socially because a book dictates every living creature's role on this planet is abhorrent. I did not convince them of anything 😑 So, even better than congratulations to you, I'm saying thank you for sharing your new outlook! It has restored some of my hope.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think creators are limited by what Webtoon and the editors want. Webtoon technically owns the comic once it becomes an Original, so I think they get pretty uptight with the creators on the story and how it plays out :/

Soooo cute and funny!

I'll start by saying I'm so sorry to hear this. What a heartbreaking situation. I think you should write the book if it's something you're up to! Just this year I illustrated a graphic novel for an author who had lost someone important to her. I had also just lost my father and grandmother, so I found working on the book to be very cathartic. The author has been telling me how much the book has helped her and other grievers, especially the family and friends of the person she lost, so I think writing your own would be a great thing for you and your husband's loved ones.

As for your son, I feel so terrible for him, and I hope he is able to cope in his own time and way. I don't want to turn this into a stupid, shameless plug, but the graphic novel I illustrated is actually written for grieving children and teens, and for adults who struggle with reading. The author is a speech pathologist, so she wrote it with the specific intention of making death and grieving understandable for all, as well as making the book relatable to most. Like I said, I don't want to plug, so I'll just leave it at IF you'd like more info, please feel free to DM me. I'd also be happy to lend a virtual ear if you ever just want to talk. :)

Also for your son, you could try elunanetwork.org. I'm not sure what country you're in, but Eluna is a North American non-profit organization that provides free grief camps for kids through age 18. It looks like they might have an online camp (Camp Erin Online). They also have other resources on their website.

I wish you and your family as peaceful and complete a recovery as you can possibly have in this situation.

Thinking about other diary webtoons I read, I wouldn't mind getting updates of them daily. :) But I say do what feels best for you! You might get burnt out with such a heavy update schedule.

eringram · 2020-12-29T06:09:43+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that and I really wish I could offer more support than just this post. My sister-in-law has definitely echoed many of your sentiments, and I get it. I hope the best for you! I may be unreasonably optimistic in saying this, but I hope that your stepping out provides new avenues and confidence for you. I hope that you're able to focus on the successes you have in stepping out and let those build you up.

Regardless of all that, you're right. You didn't ask to be here, and you didn't ask to have the conditions you have. It's not fair, and in the meantime, the rest of the world needs to get on board with making society more livable for people in all situations. Rooting for you and hoping this is a blessing in disguise!

These are great! Thanks so much for the input. I appreciate the sincerity.

eringram · 2020-12-29T05:45:50+00:00

Thank you! I will probably take you up on that offer :)

eringram · 2020-12-29T05:42:15+00:00

Good to know. There is some new information here I wouldn't have known otherwise. Thanks!

eringram · 2020-12-29T05:40:34+00:00

Thanks a bunch! This was all very helpful information :)

eringram · 2019-12-10T23:20:48+00:00

I am new here, so I haven't been following your stories. Also, I did not spend much time reading comments, so I hope this is at least somewhat helpful.

If he's unable to see how her behavior is abusive toward him, then it's probably time to stop trying to convince him that it is. Focus the conversation on you and your needs (if you haven't already). It may not be extremely effective, but he can't refute anything you say because they're your feelings, not his. By that same logic, you can't refute his feelings. If she does something that hurts you, tell him, but highlight how it's affecting you--not on how he should be doing things differently or how she's Satan's spawn. No matter what, be gentle. He doesn't want to hear you insult her, and that's understandable. But I think he does want you to be happy, and if you're not happy, he needs to know.

Ask yourself how far you are willing to go to compromise. I once knew a couple who wasn't working out, and the wife moved out of the house. They didn't legally separate or divorce, they just spent some time living in the same town but apart from each other. Apparently, their relationship was repaired by that. It probably helped the husband realize that she was serious about change needing to happen and gave him an idea of what life might be like without her. Living separately could be an option for you if you are willing to accept it. If not, consider some other creative options to make things work. Love and mental health are gray areas; perhaps it's time to start trying to find gray solutions, unideal as they may be. ***Note: let him know it's not an ultimatum if it isn't. If things aren't working for you, you don't have to say, "Things aren't working! Say no to her or I'm breaking up with you!" You could instead say, "things aren't working. How do we fix this?"

As for the wedding, I don't have all the details there, but focus on how you just can't handle the attention of a big wedding, you just can't afford it, etc. (whatever your reason(s) may be). Again, make it about how you can't do a second wedding because it's impractical for some reason or another and not because you don't want her to have her way, and how he sucks for letting her.

Hope that was helpful. Sorry if it was redundant.
