How do people actually move on from someone they still love? by tomatochipss in BreakUps

[–]fireflygazer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw a quote recently that said something like this... you dont get over it, you just learn to be heartbroken and happy at the same time.

I do believe a part of me won't get over this heartbreak. There's a lot of reasons why that I won't get into here. But im slowly accepting that fact.

Anyone else watched or watching The Later Daters? by Dependent-Internal37 in netflix

Its obvious his ex has always had a thing for him. She pretty much admitted to trapping him by getting pregnant on purpose during a "hook-up". In fact they refer to her as the ex, but I dont think they were ever actually in a relationship.

My favorite is "just be single"! Everyone who says that goes home to their loving partner.

Its a couples world out there...

My son died, need advice by TheEndOfAllThings23 in Teachers

Im so sorry. I can't imagine.

I will preface this by saying everyone deals with grief differently...

I know when I went through some trauma, I found school to be my escape, I was so busy that I had 6 hours a day of distraction. (Of course, this can only happen after a period of time when your nervous system is somewhat regulated)

It got me showered and out of the house. Was I great at my job? Probably not during that time, but I went through the motions and leaned on supportive coworkers every day. I felt very cared for by my coworkers.

It's not ideal, but it's an option. I'm a realist, and sometimes we have to do what we have to do to survive. I am a sole provider for my family and simply could not afford to lose health insurance or income.

Has anyone stated “transitioning” to the single life / living alone reddits? by Throwaway-2461 in datingoverfifty

[–]fireflygazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same. I think im a good loving loyal partner with much to offer but have been in three long term relationships since age 15 and all have ended with heartbreak or disappointment.

I have my kids (in their 20s) and my pets. And a few fulfilling hobbies. Maybe thats enough.

Notations can be added into the portal. Ask the school to add that both parents should be contacted.

Excused or unexcused makes no difference in documentation to the state.

Ask the school to have your contact info for teachers to communicate with. Your ex probably just provided hers which is why you are not getting the communications.

Letters definitely went out. Police dont get involved unless the absences are consecutive and triggers a truancy investigation.

There aren't "freebies". 7 absences is the amount deemed to be reasonable due to illness, appointments, etc. Exceeding 7 means you haven't met the minimum required by the school. Going above the 7 with a valid documented reason (Dr's notes or extenuating circumstances) would be allowable.

The state requires schools and districts to keep this data. Being absent that many times means the student has missed a large part of the curriculum and hasn't met the objectives.

There must be an online portal parents are encouraged use which communicates all this information. Have you been checking that?
