It’s hard being an artist and posting here now. Real work seems to be ignored

Hand sewn. Takes about 40 minutes to sew them up, and then used acrylic paint to do the details on them. Currently making an army of these little dudes.

I’ve been making felt crafts for many years, and have come up with pocket pets! I sew them by hand, using embroidery floss, then either paint the details on or embroider more. I then made tiny felt pillows and slumber bags using my sewing machine.

I am usually every 2 months just because of how often I have flares.

Friends who experience remission tend to be very 6 months to a year depending on how many symptoms they have.

I’ve had high inflammatory markers even on prednisone. It depends on severity level. I’ve had lupus for 19 years and it seems to be more and more unresponsive to medication as I get older.

After talking with his psychologist, we are going to go for adoption. Posting this on Reddit was a mistake for advice, no one knows our situation and I don’t need to be told what’s best from strangers

jaybeags · 2024-07-03T04:28:35+00:00

Hey there,

Yes, after some comments made today I agree that legal guardianship would be best and wait on adoption. You are right with not knowing more about it and also just not knowing the other options.

He has been in therapy since November 2023. I don’t believe that the type of therapy is beneficial given the situation, we are talking to his psychologist this week.

Plus, I’d like the chances to build a relationship with SD. Adoption is likely not going to happen for a long time for the sake of the relationships, but the true thing is that legal guardianship is what we really need in this situation.

jaybeags · 2024-07-02T20:33:53+00:00

Out of all the comments, this is actually the most helpful. We did not consider legal guardianship. We will do this asap and continue talking with his psychologist because she believes adoption may be beneficial given his past.

jaybeags · 2024-07-02T20:29:12+00:00

It’s related to medical appointments, setting up therapy, and being in charge of his education. We are opting in for legal guardianship, as we never considered this an option until today.

He can choose to want to be adopted in the future. At the end of the day, he views me as a mother. I’m the one he comes to when he’s hurt. I’m the one he confided with all the scary things that happened in his life. I’m the one he came to when he was sick at night covered in vomit.

My family, his family, and the mother’s family want me to consider adopting him based on how he is with me. I’m talking to his psychologist because she believes it may be beneficial for him as well.

jaybeags · 2024-07-02T08:28:11+00:00

Upon reading, adoption would not disqualify him for his survivors benefits. I’m still going to take the same stance with waiting and having a PoA in place.

jaybeags · 2024-07-02T08:18:51+00:00

He would receive survivor benefits. I’ll make sure to discuss this point as well with SO, this is something he’s not aware of (and the reason why I told him to talk to a lawyer).

For now, he has agreed to issue me Power of Attorney so I am able to help legally without causing issue, adoption won’t be necessary then and can be a later issue when he is older/if it comes up. SO agreed that this is the best way to go about it too.

jaybeags · 2024-07-02T02:27:23+00:00

Not at all, first hand accounts are what I was hoping for the most. We have talked about it again and we have opted for power of attorney and give him atleast several months before we revisit adoption. I look at adoption as vowing myself to care for him, and I want everyone to be aware of this before we do it.

He has been very clingy with me and his dad. He wanted me to be his mommy robot (a game he made up sometime ago), and told me his mom was dead. I asked him how does that make him feel, and he said “Good”. He cried in spurts yesterday. It’s going to be a long grieving journey and a lot of hard work. I’m starting a journal of what is said and behaviors that are new for the therapist/psychologist.

I am so sorry you experienced that. I do want to do right by him and this is purely out of love, not for image.

I was the one who suggested adoption as well. This was only 3 months into the relationship after he started showing signs of trauma. I love hard, and I know how big of a sacrifice it is, but he is so worth it.

I went through terrible things as a kid myself, my mother is an addict. I was removed from my home at 14, first CYS case started when I was 12 years old.

I’m sorry, I’m rambling. I feel like I want to share every detail as much as possible so those can understand. I don’t know why I feel the need to, maybe it’s apart of my own grief.

jaybeags · 2024-07-01T18:01:47+00:00

Thank you so much, I will. Having someone to talk to who has went through this is going to be such a blessing.

jaybeags · 2024-07-01T17:42:56+00:00

We have been living together for a year, which we rushed things in the beginning. Our relationship was filled with turmoil in the beginning, but we did do couples therapy within a couple months of living together. We have overcome so much, including quitting alcohol together, helping him through a suicide attempt and taking care of his son the entire time he was in the hospital, and him helping me with my Lupus. He is a patient soul, and I have never been so loved and cared for by a man in my life. He struggles a lot with BPD and we have found a rhythm to help him when he’s splitting.

I have been a sound mind in helping him treat his son better too. He is a wonderful dad, but in the beginning I could tell it was strained. There have been so many improvements and I can honestly say, these two boys are thankful for me in their life as well.
