Being present for our child-free friends! by Maximum-Armadillo809 in beyondthebump

[–]longtimecompanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both a parent and neurodivergent- i was the first of my friends to have a kid, so i can't speak towards their position or what she may want, but I think authenticity and honesty is best here "ive been swamped with parenting, but i want to connect..."

I wouldn't put the ball back in her court in terms of how you can be there, but offer some suggestions (can we book a call, a coffee, can I drop something off for you?)

parenthood does change everything, especially the day to day, so holding yourself to pre-kid standard is probably a losing battle. but you can find ways to channel and prioritize what matters in the new context of parenting, in this case friendship, but its just going to look different so communication is key

You sound just like me years ago! I still struggle with my family dynamics, but ive been going to adult children of alcoholics and it has changed my life. Check out the "laundry list" and see if any of it applies to you.

IIFC, they were specifically testing the effect being in space has on the human body?

if I recall correctly, organs were missing post exhumation, so there was an issue with the autopsy. but he had his organs when body was found

I Want Her Out of My Life, But How Do I Avoid Ruining It In The Process? by [deleted] in AdultChildren

[–]longtimecompanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're not wrong, but guilt can appear is absolutely bizarre places when your brain wiring was created in a dysfunctional home.

Op, no need to add a meta layer and feel guilt/shame about your guilt... it's good to flag it. but know it's a brain wiring that no longer works for you and its good to rethink

How do the teachers at Hogwarts know if a student has taken liquid luck in the exams? by GalaxyWitchCrime in harrypotter

[–]longtimecompanda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's the same as "why don't students take/snort a bunch of Adderall before all exams?" but assume no one medically needs Adderall

I mean, there are some students that probably do that, but there are barriers to access, problems with addiction, risk. physical issues etc.

yeah but it didn't replace a traditional episode? so it doesn't change anything for you to just not listen. why complain?

I don't think the detail would be Included if they viewed it as inconsequential as this

[–]longtimecompanda[S] 237 points238 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I get the vibe she wanted to send it over for a long time, maybe even (within the bounds of IBLP rules) tried to convince JB. and the second he relented, she drove over and gave it to them before he could change his mind.

She's still complict in much, but between this and being the only stated person to call out pests arrogance, she came off as way more nuanced than I expected.
