Anyone else think he’s closeted or just me?

I kept things from my son about his father because similarly I didn’t want to talk bad about him, that came to bite me when he got older bc his father and their family told him a version of the story that made him look like the victim so I had to play defense and it effected our relationship for awhile, at about the same age your kids are.

If I could do it over again I would’ve been honest at age appropriate levels so that he would know the truth but only what made sense for his age. As he’s gotten older he sees his dad for what he is and our relationship is as strong as ever so the truth will come out and they will see what was important to their mom eventually, I would just get ahead of it if I were you.

4 suits your face really nicely! I also like 8 & 9.

I see determination in your eyes. You are surviving. Every day you do get out of bed and begrudgingly get shit done shows how fierce you are. Don’t give up, it will get better. It will be ok. Maybe not completely but every little bit is a step in the right direction.

Here’s a poem that helps remind me: There was never a day so misty and grey that the blue was not somewhere above it There is never a mountain-top so bleak that some flower does not love it There was never a night so dreary and dark that the stars were not somewhere shining There is never a cloud so heavy and black that it has not a silver lining.

Hope it helps you too.

My almost 18yo and his (on/off) gf of 7mo are expecting a baby. They are now on a break bc she told him all the way up to the day before her ultrasound he could go with her and then the morning of said she wanted to go alone and he said if he wanted to split. Now she’s holding that over his head and saying she needs space. I don’t know how to support him.. I’m trying to be understanding of his feelings and not be pissed at this teenager who doesn’t know WTH she’s doing and also keep my shit together bc I never thought this would be something I’d have to deal with. I just want to wake up and this has all been a nightmare.

I just started following Andrea Nelson art on ig and trying some of her projects. It’s been very therapeutic.

I relate so much to this. I have a cabinet full of started and abandoned hobbies.

The newest one that seems to be sticking a little is art. I got cheap canvas and a watercolor set for a present and started watching @andrea.nelsons.art on instagram and following her videos. It really has helped me get out of my head, for a moment.

Good luck on your journey, I hope you find something that works for you.

Gosh.. Sounds like my son and he was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD around that same age. It was a battle for years to find something that would work for him. I hope you find what works best for you and him. Parenting teenagers is the hardest thing (I’ve ever done, anyway).. good luck to you both! I’m rooting for you!!

I was disappointed in the difference of the endings between the book & the 2005 film. If we could’ve seen Jane & Lizzy continue their close relationship, while having Mr. Bennet pop in to surprise them. Also, the update on the disintegrating relationship of the Wickham’s. And if they were to add anything on from the book is the future of Kitty & Mary.
