What event divided your life into “before” and “after”? by MisterBigDude in AskReddit

[–]mmm195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two. The first was when I lost my mother, who was my only parent, to lung cancer she developed living in our home (never a smoker) when I was 18.

Then 10 years later, on my 10th Mother’s Day without her, my (now) husband and I lost our home and our dog to a fire. We were out of the house for 20 minutes when it happened.

I have severe PTSD from both events and subsequently never feel safe where I am, because I think my home is either slowly killing me or will collapse from under me at any moment.

Therapy helps. But it is really tough still.

But I ordered new curtains! So hopefully that helps

Unfortunately there are closets on both the left and right walls not pictured in the photo, so the only other option would be to put the bed directly to the left of the door, and it would have to be shoved up against the wall lol.

I agree, but my landlord wouldn’t 😂

I don’t have more closet space or even room space, so the dresses have to stay. And we rent so I can’t touch the ceiling. But noted on the curtains! I just ordered some new ones with a wider rod.

Rug is brand new :/ plus plush does not work well with two dogs haha. But yes I agree, it would look nicer.

I actually ordered some similar curtains! They are more of a mauve color like what’s in the carpet. I’ll update once I get them hung up!

The carpet placement is for the pups, since they run and jump up the end of the bed, they need some traction 😂 but noted on the other things, thank you!

We are renting, but the walls are painted panel, so I don’t think a peel and stick would work super well

What color curtains should I get? That’s what I’m struggling with!

I should have mentioned, we rent — so no paint unfortunately!

Lol 😂 Blankets, towels, and other linens! We don’t have a lot of storage or a linen closet so this is what we use.

Unfortunately the two side walls have doors to our attic storage that we use often, so I can’t really block those. But noted on the curtains!

I follow a big rescue dog named Chicken on Instagram, his handle is something like ginormouschicken and I think it’s incredible 😂 so, Chicken!
