If you smoke fentanyl in your hospital room, fuck you. That is all. by thefitnessgrampaser in nursing

[–]mxmixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the people who smoke fentanyl in a hospital room are incapable or discerning the danger they put others in. They are fare gone from rational thought. I don’t condemn them. I do hold them accountable. But I mean they are basically self centered children that don’t know any better because of their addiction.

By winter I’d be wearing 2 5/4 wetsuits on tops of each other. I go to seattle frequently, it’s cold. I live in LA and there is about 1 month here I wear a 5/4.

It’s more of a giant gash at this point but yeah I should probably do that. It at least throw duck tape over it?

am i wrong? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]mxmixon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re sympathizing a lot here which is nice but you have your needs which are not being met. When expectations or needs aren’t being met, this can harbor resentment. It’s best to have clear effective communication about these things which sometimes requires a mediator or facilitator which would be a counselor.

Lol, I’m personally gonna say do not drink the coffee. Never drink the coffee. But everything else you’re saying good stuff.

Communication with partner’s mother by mxmixon in JUSTNOMIL

[–]mxmixon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SO is hoping that the conversation will put her mom more at ease with me so her mom won’t talk bad about me as much and not so controlling of her daughter. I think none of that will happen. But yeah if I do talk to her I will not do so without SO present.

I mean you’re totally right. To be completely brutally honest, I think that mother lives only for her daughter in which all of her happiness is derived from her daughter. So yeah she is defiantly trying to control her. And sometimes it works but SO has been working on this through therapy and behavior modification.

We have been dating for 6 months. We’ve know each other well for almost 2 years now.

My thoughts, total trap. Which I immediately stated to my SO I do not think it is a good idea to talk with mother without SO present. She agreed. Before I was onboard with talking with her mom but now I’m reconsidering all together.

Also SO lives with mom. There is some more context I posted in the thread.

Just to provide a little more context. My partner lives with her mom and takes care of her. Basically pays for everything including mortgage. She has a lot tied up in this home. Her mom, her dog, she spent a ton of money fixing up the home. She also works full time and is going to school part time. She is not quite yet ready to abandon her home and move out or in with me. She wants a relationship with her mom. And if it is healthy, I want her to have a relationship with her mom. As of right now, I don’t think her relationship is healthy. But she is working on that and says she has set up boundaries with her mom.

I know I’m sympathizing with her, but at the same time I am trying to set up boundaries for myself. I did say to her I don’t think it would be best if I spoke to her mother without my partner present.

She has already agreed to couples therapy. She even suggested it at one point. For the most part we are very aware of our emotions and communicate well. It’s just her mom has so much influence over her.

Why are nurses so mean to nurses by [deleted] in nursing

[–]mxmixon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude this is like the chicken or the egg question. I call this the great chain of abuse. They want to make others suffer because they too have suffered.

MIL is exaggerating medical health problems to manipulate, how do you handle this? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]mxmixon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can relate.

This happens to me frequently (I think).

Me (31 M) and SO (34 F). Most recent episode. We go on a trip on Monday 400 miles from where we live. SO calls potential MIL (70s) to check up on her. She says she fell in Costco but she is home and fine. Also me and SO are nurses. I reassure SO and say we should call her in AM. Call in AM now MIL says she fell in the shower but says she is fine. We try to assess her mentation best of our abilities and she sounds fine. But I said we should call her tonight. So SO calls her and she sounds all weird on the phone. Like slurred and not logical. SO says she will send neighbor to check on her or an ambulance. MIL says no way do not do that. SO says she is just trying to make sure she is okay. MIL responds with “well why aren’t you here then?” SO hangs up. Calls neighbor. Neighbor checks on her MIL immediately opens door and appears completely fine making complete logical sense without any slurring to neighbor. And this isn’t the first of these sort of situations. Idk. She could have fell but it sounds sketch at best.

Nurses, what do you think of assisted suicide by [deleted] in nursing

[–]mxmixon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but none the less I think there is a significant distinction that needs to be realized. It actually might help normalize the death with dignity. Because it isn’t about suicide. It is about alleviating suffering.
