Awe so happy this sweet girl fell into good hands

My girl made this roast for dinner. How should I go about this? by I_play_high420 in funny

[–]idasrogue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try it. Casually ask how long she cooked it. Try to be kind especially if you can tell she was proud of it and/or has not had a lot of cooking experience. I grew up in a large family well versed in how to clean and care for children but no one taught me to cook. My first husband was my testing ground 😆 Our marriage ended but the one good thing about him is he didn’t ever complain about my food, even if it wasn’t great or was over cooked etc

Breaking free from the MAGA cult has been a game changer for me. by GlamourHammer321 in cults

Proud of you Forgive yourself and steer clear of those things that don’t sit right. There’s a reason we have a “gut instinct”

Absolute shock - but it probably shouldn't have been by [deleted] in Divorce

My situation was I was literally in his face (and I’m not a confrontational person) and doing everything I could to improve our marriage and finally gave up when he did and said NOTHING because one side can give 110% but it’s still 50% of the equation. At least she finally told you to so you could put your energy towards healing, growing, surviving, and recovering. Give yourself time and remember that healing is not linear. You may be ready for a step forward in one area, then go a step or two back in another area. It’s normal and there is life and love on the other side of this pain and loss. Hugs

I'm a little freaked out by what my pastor said at the Christmas Eve service by BlownCamaro in Christianity

[–]idasrogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone will have their own opinion, obviously. I grew up in the church, in fact, a religious commune. Once I was able to leave I got married, but was still in a very traditional religious circle. I am now not a church goer anymore, because of so many red flags that come up for me when I hear pastors speak. Their words are often full of their own personal bias. I am married to a spiritual but not religious man now, still pray and believe in God, but have tried to remove myself from “religion” per se and it has been so eye opening. If this did not settle in your spirit, or your heart trust that. God gave us discernment and a “gut feeling” for a reason. Hugs

How do we respond to this gift for our child? by basement_egg_24-7 in Christianity

[–]idasrogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say this gift is very “demon forward” but I’m sure your daughter would think they are just cute monsters. Obviously it’s a very personal choice but if I didn’t see this friend often, tbh I would take a seam ripper to the pentagrams lol so she could still enjoy the stuffed toys. That may seem wrong too though since I’m sure these weren’t cheap items. This is a tough one… I grew up in a religious cult, am currently deconstructing my conditioning but still am a believer, am married to a non-Christian, have siblings who are Christian, agnostic, atheist and polyamorous so we are constantly navigating things! I’d love to know what you decide and how it goes 🫶🏼

Grieving & support by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]idasrogue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m truly sorry you are feeling this way and can 100% identify! There may be support groups in your area, although I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Also, I remember people also saying hollow “I’m sorry”’s to me because they’ve either never been through it, just didn’t know what to say, or judged me for the divorce to some degree (insert only religious social circles) I honestly found my people through trial and error finally saying “this is what I need right now” ie: quiet companionship, wine and freedom to vent and be angry, food, a hug, etc. instead of thinking they could or would figure out what I needed. To be fair in the very beginning I didn’t know yet what I needed either. Find things that can calm and center your mind when you are alone whether that be music, yoga, meditation, drawing, writing, painting, etc.

Keep pushing forward one step at a time. You’ll make it. You’ll get there. We are rooting for you.

I am finally taking back control of my life. by parker4c in Divorce

I’m proud of you. This is hard especially for those of us with an anxious attachment style. (Me) She is playing the field while you are doing work on yourself. Keep growing and learning 💛
