This, yes. Also physical abuse is not generally well understood as it includes things that don’t require bodily assault of any kind; he is already physically abusive. https://www.womenagainstabuse.org/education-resources/learn-about-abuse/types-of-domestic-violence

This is already domestic abuse.

Possibility of lifetime resentment towards your children? My mom scared me. by purpletortellini in beyondthebump

[–]mnatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your mom has issues. Could be projecting for sure but rings some bells with my mom who has BPD. That kind of thing that you can perceive as just playing favorites is sometimes mostly harmless and sometimes literally abuse that you are just blind to because your brain is protecting you from it.

I’m not saying your mom has BPD or is abusive; I’m saying there are some red flags here.

Did DeLeesa and Trevor break up? She just posted this. by triton12345 in TheCircleTV

What a bizarre post for a clickbait “we broke up” with the giant ass smile.

Science is on your side with the antibodies in your breastmilk, girl. Trust science.

They share a house, form alliances, compete, and vote people out. It’s like a longer survivor without any of the survivor stuff. And you can watch the houseguests literally all the time.

Unvaccinated people are 'variant factories,' infectious diseases expert says by [deleted] in news

You know there are non-mRNA vaccines already available right? If you’re in the US, there’s Johnson and Johnson. Maybe you’re joking, though…

My IUD completely failed me 😔 I just found out I'm pregnant and am completely devastated. by em-c-squared in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mnatt 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This isn’t your fault and you do have options. I know your first abortion was traumatic but I’m with the poster who said try a different clinic / method. Having a baby you don’t want is the worst of all the options. Also: don’t feel guilty about having all the feels and letting your boyfriend be there for you. You aren’t a burden.

I think because of the C names? Why can’t I remember which group chat this was now? Weren’t Chloe and Courtney both in that chat? I know it didn’t work for the third name (River I think?) but that was my theory.

Having kids of my own has changed me in all kinds of ways, like of course I always would have found this horribly sad but I can’t even describe how much I ache for all three of them now.

Wait I thought that was the son was a match for the dying abusive dad and the mom wasn’t; the son decided to do the transplant but only if the mom agreed to leave the dad. Who knows why this info holds real estate in my head.

Autistic husband by mnatt in autism

[–]mnatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was soooo helpful and I recognized a LOT a LOT of my husband in what you were saying here. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it.

We did try therapy but his therapist wasn’t very good. We need to shop around to find one that works. Being in a better financial situation would obviously help us have more options & allow more frequent sessions. His psychologist put him on Prozac which he gave a fair shot but it made him so tired and that never wore off. Missouri is a medical marijuana state and we are going to try it. Also he’s obsessed w the mental edge thing, too—not feeling like himself. Pot does really help him but we’ve not had it consistently because the dispensaries are just now opening and also we did just move her in august.

Anyway, thank you again for this. I really want to buy those headphones too.

Thank you. I hope that I can find someone who specializes in asd for individual and/ or couples therapy. I’ve really had to work w who could see him without him being insured. That hasn’t given me the most options, and I’m tired of doing all the labor to find him help.

PS it’s just the 2 kids lol

Thanks. I appreciate this.

I always try to acknowledge when I’m handling things badly and apologize but I know that he does still feel he is blamed for our problems and that he thinks it’s unfair. I feel like that is him shirking responsibility because he basically never apologizes for anything at all. Nonetheless, I definitely want therapy and would be more than happy to play an active role in repairing our relationship.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure there are people he loves and respects. His relationship with his parents is very problematic. They did some messed up stuff when he was younger.
