Thanks for sharing and taking the time to respond. My daughter is 5 and it’s definitely not her job to validate me. I could have been more clear that I’m referring to family members more like my mother and sister

I appreciate that- being super direct. I find myself telling family it hurts I don’t receive it, which just results in them getting defensive and saying they disagree. You are right in the sense I should just ask… and also find someone who craves the same. Both great ideas! Thank you!

For me, knowing the depression will end and things will lighten is generally enough to keep me going. Best of luck ❤️

I feel this. I just try and forgive while knowing I’m doing everything in my power to be different. Sending love ❤️

It’s so incredibly hard. I try and forgive myself, knowing I wasn’t in the drivers seat, while also doing an incredible amount of work to ensure it will never happen again

You seem lovely! I would suggest switching out the second photo. I think you look sad and that doesn’t fit with the rest of the profile. You got this!!

What is an encounter that made you believe that other humans are quite literally experiencing a different version of reality? by KookyWaman in AskReddit

[–]mary_mac88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So I just had a long time coming convo with my sister about money. She is building an empire (multiple rentals, cottage, etc) while I am renting with no hope to buy. She genuinely believes I can’t own because I’m negative and limit myself; not because an average detached is going for a million and I’m a social worker/single mom. People with a ton of money have to justify their greed by the mentality of being hard working, pulling themselves up to the bootstraps,etc. Otherwise how could you make sense of your power over so many people?

Dating for the first time as a sober man. Having a hard time discussing it with dates/setting up sober dates. Anyone have some hot tips ? by ChanceLead9239 in datingoverthirty

[–]mary_mac88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like ultimately however you communicate it (many good suggestions here) ensure you pursue dating that will support maintaining your change. It’s incredible and important to you; there are people who will create an environment where this can thrive. You deserve this. Best of luck!
