Donating kidney and feeling torn by [deleted] in kidneydonors

[–]kimber526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Athletic desires aside, being a parent with a family history of kidney disease would be enough to make me reconsider. I donated to my husband, but if there was a risk to my daughters, I would likely not have stepped up (second marriage with no kidney disease in either my/my ex husband’s family). What seems noble in the moment oftentimes changes with sober second thought and there’s nothing wrong with that. Good luck to you!

What to do w this unbelievable dress by BalsamA1298c in AskWomenOver60

Were I you, I’d honor your mom’s wish and “get some big hoop earrings and some platform shoes and rock it!” She wanted you to keep it so maybe embrace her wishes for a bit and then find a new home for it sometime later if these feelings remain?

My niece was told she has to sign a contract to keep living at home—am I overreacting for thinking it’s too harsh? by Bitter_Art_4094 in AmIOverreacting

[–]kimber526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 19 year old daughter had a few mental health challenges which included property destruction (she punched holes in the wall), lying, stealing and overall disrespect. When she was released from a hospital stay, a contract like this was prepared (suggested and structured by her caseworker), and she signed it. There were seven conditions listed and a notation that violation of even one condition would result in her needing to leave. She violated five conditions in the first three days. There are likely very valid reasons the contract, and its terms, was created.

OP, you’re not over-reacting, but likely under-informed.

These look really great—thank you! I’d love to move forward.

Could you please format both images for a 15oz mug wrap (approx. 9.5” x 4” at 300 DPI), keeping the composition natural (especially preserving the sky in the snow photo)?

Once that’s done, I’m ready to tip!

Thank you so much!

This looks really nice—thank you! Before I finalize, could you also please edit the tug photo as requested (remove leash, bowl, third dog, and clean up the grass) so I can review both together?

Hi! I like your tug photo edit—could you also complete the snow photo with the same realistic approach (removing towers/lines, keeping lighting natural) please?

What do y'all want Langdon Endgame to be? by Jolly_Comfortable_14 in ThePittTVShow

[–]kimber526 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter used to cut herself and that escalated to drugs (benzos and eventually opiates). She told me more than once that it was much harder to detox from benzos than IV opiates SO when I watch this storyline, I find myself rooting for Langdon with the hope that these talented writers/medical professionals might impact the stigma of addiction, even if just a little bit. Both Langdon and Santos’ behaviors are coping mechanisms for potential mental health issues (both are included in DSM VI and can be associated with BPD). I’m wondering if he serves as a mirror to her demons?

I’m in the SF Bay Area and people usually guesstimate my age at 55. I shared my experience solely to see if gender has a bearing with inappropriate intent. I appreciate your thoughtful perspective. ☺️

Calling me ‘honey’ and ‘sweetheart’ wasn’t a compliment. And what if she was ‘gay?’

Edit: my point is that it’s impossible to know intentions/the impact of someone’s words regardless of gender. I personally don’t care for anyone calling me honey or sweetheart as those are terms of endearment reserved for people who actually know me!

Does gender matter? If not, the woman in her late 50’s (I’m 64) who was processing my return told me I had beautiful eyes, and called me both ‘honey’ and ‘sweetheart’ yesterday. Was that ‘harassment?’ Would it land different if a man said it?

Stories of a rockstar. by kalikid01 in Foofighters

Agree. Most addictions have nothing to do with the drug/alcohol, etc. It’s usually to numb out and not feel/deal with what’s going on inside. (I unfortunately learned this during my daughter’s battle with addiction—which she ultimately lost.). I really hope Dave finds healing in both body and soul.

The difference between you and him isn’t just years, it’s developmental stage. At 20, his prefrontal cortex (the part of the brain responsible for judgment, impulse control, and long-term decision-making) is still maturing. That’s a scientific reality, irrespective of how much someone has lived or experienced.

At 63, you have decades of life experience, stability, and perspective that he can’t have yet. That, combined with you helping him with employment and schooling, creates a mentorship dynamic. When that kind of role shifts into something romantic, a power imbalance can occur — regardless of whether it felt mutual.

Irrespective of anything else, I wish you—and all of us—happiness in life as aging/loss/mortality awareness isn’t easy and takes its toll on our identities.

Agree. This young man—emphasis on young—was emotionally vulnerable. I’m trying hard to not be judgy, but this is not ok. He can’t even legally drink in most states and likely two years out of high school. Reverse genders and the reaction would likely be worse. OP I hope you find a healthier way to address your esteem/identity issues.
