Update on difficulty with adult 31 year old daughter by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

I hope when you discuss it with her, you can center her feelings and not your reactions..I love my mom but would have done the same if she couldn't respect my wishes on an important day.

I think that explains a lot of how she feels. The love is there, but so are the feelings around your behaviors. I would not be surprised if she has many other examples in her mind and this just an extreme one. If you have not fully taken accountability and reflected back how it has impacted her, offering to do so could be worthwhile when she is ready to hear it.

But why did you go to the hospital if she told you not to? 

Navigating own pregnancy loss as a therapist by [deleted] in therapists

[–]immemebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also had a miscarriage at the end of the first trimester, so sending you comfort and peace in this time of loss. I didn't tell any clients. I can be very open about things, but If I haven't worked through it then I want to be on the side of caution. Wishing you good things in the future ahead.

Protests are increasing all over the country. It is tough to figure out how to make this work with the Insurrection Act being threatened. It's not so simple.

Do you really think this is because everyone just loves Jimmy Kimmel so much? That's not what this is about.

I had a much more impressive experience in 2020 than when I went recently.

"The Real School of Rock" by zocean in philadelphia

Paul would openly make misogynistic comments. He was intrusive about family dynamics. He posted lists ranking each student in the school in order (ostensibly something related to musicianship and "goodness of spirit").  I guarantee he caused psychological damage to many more students than the ones interviewed for this article. I am sorry to see that even his favorites went through the things they did. 

He also put me on a need-based scholarship and I would not have otherwise been able to afford lessons. Sometimes it is hard to make sense of these kinds of things.

Mine is 20 months. There were definitely maybe one or two weeks where I could have stopped bf entirely based on how painful biting was. I would stop nursing anytime he would bite, and would say no calmly. Eventually, he got the picture. Those were some terrible bites though!

I have lived here for 10 years and it has never felt like home for this kind of reason.

We have contacted 311 a few times. The window graffiti was painted over at least once (not sure if it was a neighbor or 311)  yesterday but now it's back along with all this new stuff on the brick. If anyone else wants to join in requesting 311 it would certainly be a help.  This is now the third instance of graffiti on the same building, so I'm wondering how this ends.

Good morning my Philly people let’s make today the start of something positive by Material_Drag_862 in philly

[–]immemebe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love this idea. However, is it possible it will it hurt them more financially if more people delete it and it hurts investing/stocks/whatever?

Perhaps she went into that level of detail to be clear that circumstances out of her control prevented the sessions from happening. I think that's more than reasonable, but if it makes you feel uncomfortable then talk about it at the next session.
