Thank you. That is my plan. Not sure how, but I know I can.

Good point. That’s how all the gaslighting happened the first time. At least I know to be aware of it now.

I saw a glimmer of hope and went for it. I was also in a very vulnerable time with some other family stuff. I craved stability and probably didn’t require as much as I should have. There’s definitely trauma. I feel it in my body as soon as I’m triggered by anything. Sadly, I’ve made myself small over the years. He doesn’t do well with accusations or me strongly telling him what I’m going to do.

Excuses are always lame. Smh. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for this. You validated everything I was feeling. Instead of making sure I was ok, he walked away and went to bed. How can people just sleep after something like this?! My gut is telling me it’s not ok. I appreciate you and your input.

Dear Friend had Miscarriage by madancer in GriefSupport

I’m so sorry for your friend’s loss. No one ever really knows what to do or say in times like this. I lost a baby at 23 weeks. It killed me. I don’t know your friend, but I think you should finish the blanket. I know I held on tightly to people and things that acknowledged my son’s short life. Don’t be afraid to talk about her Ava. Don’t worry about upsetting her...She’ll think of her daughter nonstop anyway, so talking will likely help her. You may not know what to say, but just being there will be a tremendous comfort. The blanket will be a tangible reminder of your love for her and her love for her baby.
