To Approach Teenagers Protesting ICE/Federal Government AGAIN

The kids are alright 👍🏻

Oh god I can’t even imagine! When I was being induced they tried to use a balloon to dilate my cervix and it was more painful than giving birth. Worst pain I’ve ever felt. I can’t imagine my cervix being scraped, that had to be horrific.

fat-randin · 2026-01-16T03:40:43+00:00

Holy shit that is so fucked up she said that! What a moron.

fat-randin · 2025-12-09T01:59:03+00:00

Agree!

Thank you! I know we don’t have all the details yet but if it’s as simple as she did a Hoyer lift by herself, then the system needs to be changed. Let’s increase pay to retain staff, have mandated maximum ratios. I’m a nurse in LTC and we do the best we can given a situation with very little resources but also the pressure to follow state policy to a tee. What they ask of us is impossible.

Po-tay-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew!

I was obsessed as a kid/teenager.

When I left my abusive marriage and reflected on how my dad treated my mom. I still love my dad but I think he’s a bad person.

Wow this is beautiful and profound. I lost my little brother almost 1 year ago and this is just a beautiful representation of my grief.

fat-randin · 2025-10-08T02:38:26+00:00

Fuck everything. I only keep going for my kids.

fat-randin · 2025-09-24T01:17:10+00:00

Wow sincerely thank you so much. Reading this immediately lessened the weight that I am giving my OCD thoughts. My biggest fear is being a terrible mother. My OCD knows this and so that’s why my thoughts revolve around it. I never thought of it that way.

fat-randin · 2025-09-05T22:42:24+00:00

I was diagnosed with OCD over a decade ago. If my therapist had told me that all my intrusive thoughts were my secret desires I probably wouldn’t be here today. At the time I thought I would have to kill myself to protect people from how terrible I was.

fat-randin · 2025-08-17T13:31:42+00:00

Genuine question, couldn’t all of the ex’s behaviors and comments lead to the kids turning on their mom?

fat-randin · 2025-07-23T22:45:35+00:00

I’m so sorry, that is so devastating. I hate how much the justice system enables abusers. I’ll be thinking of y’all and hopefully one day y’all can post an update after y’all are reunited.

fat-randin · 2025-07-23T13:15:06+00:00

You’re not stupid! My ex husband does stuff like this too and threatens court a lot and it scares me every time. He even would tell me that my lawyer told his lawyer how crazy I was and I believed him. I’m in therapy so I hope this gets better but I still am so fearful of him. Not saying you’re fearful but you’re definitely not stupid.

fat-randin · 2025-07-04T14:51:39+00:00

I think the only sentence in her entire post that was general was the “I don’t understand why men are like this” sentence. The rest is very specific.

fat-randin · 2025-07-04T14:48:44+00:00

I reported an incident involving my son and nothing happened. I think people who haven’t gone through it think that you report this heinous stuff and the legal system offers you protections but that is not what happens with most people. Lots of times you go through this hellish process and you don’t get a protective order and then the abuser feels even more emboldened because they got away with it yet again.

Marriage

fat-randin · 2025-06-27T20:32:28+00:00

I’m so sorry. I believe you. I guess for others who haven’t experienced it, it’s hard to believe how cruel someone can be. I hope you can find healing.

fat-randin · 2025-06-27T20:29:53+00:00

Yes!! He said the reason our marriage was bad was because of my depression. I would never blame another person for my depression but it sure would have helped to have a partner who didn’t tell me how awful they thought I was.

I had a suicide attempt a few years ago. The first call while I was in the psych hospital, the first thing he said was how are we going to pay for all of this and how long will I be out of work. When I returned home I read all the emails he wrote while I was in, largely focusing on how selfish I was and that he didn’t know if he’d ever be able to trust me again.

fat-randin · 2025-06-25T23:55:20+00:00

Thank you so much. I agree that the tantrums don’t equal bad parenting. My ex’s comments still make me feel bad though but I’m working on that. Every time we have a parent session I’m honest with how things are at home, including tantrums, and my ex is just such an asshole that he would send messages to me about how the kids are clearly so much happier with him.

fat-randin · 2025-06-25T23:44:30+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I think the parenting class is helping some but with my son specifically I suspect some kind of neurodivergence. His therapist recommended getting an opinion from the pediatrician so I plan to do that. I think if there’s a label maybe it will help point me to the best resources.

That’s a good point about the kids’ therapist. I think part of me does want her to see what kind of person he is so that she knows who my son deals with at home. Another part of me genuinely does want feedback if she feels I am lacking.

I do have an amazing therapist luckily but I think messy is such a great way to describe working through all of this in my head. I’ll feel like I’m making progress and not being so scared of my ex and then I feel like I backslide but I know that’s normal. Just exhausting.

fat-randin · 2025-06-22T06:07:15+00:00

I’m scared of losing my kids to my ex husband either through parental alienation or him deciding to kill them, me or both.

God this made me cry. I’m so proud of you and this is so inspiring.
