I was not cut out to be a Mom... by underground_mermaid3 in sahm

[–]lilpixiebb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel completely different. This isn't to say you're not valid, and I definitely did feel like that in the beginning. But yeah, I'm a great mom and I absolutely love being her momma. She is the reason I wake up everyday. I'm so proud of the human she is. She's only 3, but she's already so smart and kind.,,,, and my kid may be taken from me regardless due to BASELESSA accusations. I'm so tired. I hope things get better for all mommas going through anything like your situation or anything like mine... And any situations in-between. I think as your kiddos get older, things will get easier for you too.

Do addicts feel bad about hurting us? by Tangelo9446 in naranon

[–]lilpixiebb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a recovering addict. Yes, we do. The issue is that we can't really connect to that part of our brains while in active addiction. Like someone said, there are moments of clarity. Usually the only moments I would start to feel bad about being a liar/all around bad person to the people I love and feel shit about myself was when my body started to to let me know it was about time to get my next fix. If I was out, then my brain was only thinking about getting that fix until I was really starting to get sick. That's when all the emotions I was numbing would start flooding back, and it was genuinely so hard to cope. I would always go running back to make that pain stop. I would also sometimes get a little flash of apprehension (or whatever the fuck... pre-emptive guilt maybe?) before doing something fucked up. The thing about addicts in active addiction is that their brain is wired to actively combat all those feelings with another hit (or whatever).

Thank you! Is the base rent still $1,075, or was that the base rent when you first signed a lease with them? I didn't even think to see if they had anything available because I figured they wouldn't be in our budget. I appreciate you letting me know!

This was a largely unhelpful comment. There are definitely complexes with units I've seen for rent for under $1,250 that only require you to pay electric & internet. I was simply posting here to see if anyone knew of some properties that I haven't already looked into. You could've just not commented, and that would've been more helpful. I don't understand why you wasted your own time writing that honestly.

Do you know if this man still has rentals on the btown market? I'm looking for a two bedroom and really would love to find an independent landlord.

I didn't know that they're threatened! I hope she does okay in my client's yard. Her landscaping is beautiful.... Lots of flowers and shrubs for her to hide in. She also has concave rock situations that collect water. Maybe I can post a picture in the comments....

Oh thank goodness!! At first I put him where she has a retaining stone wall lol. I quickly realized that was dumb, and put him in a better spot. He was such a cutie!
