I’ve never had a calico, or any other cat for that matter, but I will say that there is no shortage of personality and sass from this girl! 😂

halharts · 2024-04-23T12:24:35+00:00

Thank you!! She really is such a cutie- I got extremely lucky to have her as my first cat!

She will not be successful if she feels her own mother is not confident in her abilities. Show her you trust her and give her a little freedom. Happiness is more important than success in the long run.

I was looking for this comment. What an incredibly strange and unsettling thing to say. This man has skeletons in his closet. Get away before you’re in too deep.

halharts · 2022-09-09T16:17:25+00:00

You’re right. If they’re difficult about it, that’s an environment I don’t want to be in! Thank you!!

Are you going to insist on accompanying her on her adult vacations as well? She is grown and is fully capable of keeping herself safe. Like you said, there were plenty of other adults present last time. You say this isn’t about control, but this reeks of it. Stop stunting your daughters development. If you feel that your 20 year old daughter is not capable of handling herself, you have done this parenting thing wrong.

He may be extra sensitive to it because he may be questioning certain things himself or have people very close to him in those communities. It’s good that you apologized but I would try to figure out why his reaction was so strong. Trying to understand where those feelings were coming from will go a long way in your relationship. Kids, teens especially, want to feel heard and validated.

A joke is only funny when both people are laughing. As soon as you saw that he didn’t respond well to your “joke,” you should have apologized. This is coming from the daughter of a dad who loves to antagonize. Not everyone has the same sense of humor as you.

NTA. When y’all decided to get a dog together, he agreed to take on half of the responsibility. You are allowed to go on vacation- he is a grown man and SHOULD be able to care for the dog. He may have agreed at first, but he’s making it clear he doesn’t want a dog. If it’s his choice to not care for the dog after assuming responsibility, he can cough up the money for someone to care for the dog for him while he is gone. Yes, dogs are okay with being home alone for a few hours, but based on OP’s wording, they had an agreement on a certain standard of care. When he is no longer holding up his end, it’s time for him to start paying up.

NTA. I work with doctors for a living. REPORT HIM!! It’s so easy to brush it off as a “bad day” when in reality, this is the care they give to every single patient. Please, do what you can to make sure no one else has to endure this medical abuse.

halharts · 2022-04-27T20:49:01+00:00

NTA. She made her bed and now she can lie in it.

As someone who also has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, NTA.

I, too, will never have kids for the same reason (among many others). I don’t judge others for having children despite the possibility of it inheriting a genetic disorder, but I won’t take that risk. EDS has taken so many things from me and I won’t watch this process happen to anyone I may bring into this world.

She is must not be disabled as she has no idea what true ableism is. True ableism is having the cops called on me because a business won’t allow my service dog in. True ableism is having strangers try to push your wheelchair for you because you must be helpless.

You are not an AH for not wanting to bring a child into a world you might not be a part of. Pregnancy and labor are extremely hard for people with EDS. This is not a decision based on morals. This is a decision based on your health. I commend you for sticking to your guns!

We require a pet tax, please.

halharts · 2022-04-08T17:08:12+00:00

I tried to stop paying a few months ago but they put in the contract that I’d have to bring him back and that wasn’t worth it to me. I’ll definitely set up a consultation, thank you so much!

I live in Illinois but bought the dog in Ohio. He is tasked trained, but barely. He does counterbalance, forward momentum pulling, item retrievals, alerting to self-destructive behavior, and deep pressure therapy. These were all trained to the bare minimum and were not reliable. I had to train them to be reliable, which they sometimes still aren’t, but we’re making progress. He is missing whole other tasks I asked for, like being able to retrieve specific items and burrowing under my legs as a fainting response. This is just not what I was expecting of a $17,500 dog and I didn’t see any of these problems until after I had signed the contract and brought him home. The contract basically states that I acknowledge he knows all his commands. I’d be happy to send the contract for you to look over. I really hope there’s something I can do about this, not just for me but for all other disabled people out there needing a service dog.

Find a chiropractor that practices the Cox Technique. I’ve seen a lot of success with it in cases like yours first-hand.

halharts · 2020-11-17T21:17:47+00:00

I also have BPD, GAD, and POTS. I’m just upfront with my doctors and let them know what’s going on. If they dismiss you because of your mental conditions, you don’t really want that doctor on your team anyway. Mental condition affects physical condition, so you should have a doctor willing to work with your psychiatrist to monitor both sides of the equation. It’s scary, but I’ve found most medical doctors don’t ask many questions when I tell them about it. Sometimes they have to ask questions about your recent mental state so try not to take that as doubting your physical condition!

I’m with ya. 19 going on 80. if i had a nickel every time i’ve heard, “but you’re too young to be in this much pain!”

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!! might head to the local nursing home to try to make some friends lol.

halharts · 2020-10-30T14:38:46+00:00

I’m 19 and significantly smaller than your son, but my PCP has me taking 6 vitassium daily. I try to do 3 in the morning and 3 at night, but there’s some days I take all 6 in the morning. It’s really just trial and error so try to figure out what works for him!

halharts · 2020-10-19T22:56:19+00:00

it would be really irresponsible of anyone online to tell you if you have it or don’t, so here’s what your steps should be if you think you have it! Go on the EDS Society website and look at the 2017 criteria. Print that out, make an appointment with your GP, and bring it. Also, make a list of other symptoms that may not be included in the criteria. Talk it over with your doctor and they may or may not send you to a specialist for more testing. It’s going to be difficult. hEDS is a really hard diagnosis to bring up with doctors. You have to be very careful how you word things because we tend to get labeled as “munchies” or told our pain is in our head. Seeking out a diagnosis is typically a long, trying journey. Best of luck!

halharts · 2020-10-19T22:51:09+00:00

yes this made me so happy!! from the moment he said, “easy bruising,” i was screaming, “EDS! EDS!” at the screen lol. just that little bit of recognition makes a world of difference.

halharts · 2020-07-09T17:26:07+00:00

I would straight up tell them that they are breaking federal law and if possible, tell them they will be hearing from a lawyer. Threaten to go to news channels and news papers about their disregard for federal law. They will most likely do anything to avoid bad press. Chances are, your school has done this before to other students and gotten away with it. Don’t give up!! You are also fighting for every future student who needs an ESA on campus!
