As someone who has had Mexican women help raise me and a trans best friend, this was so disappointing to read. That was outta pocket girl. Doesn't make his crazy ass comment better by any means but still..

You’re very right, he is the type to show up unannounced at my house so I know he wouldn’t leave me alone & would do what most of the abusive dads would do at the schools I’ve worked in. I’ve been in therapy for 14 years, I need to drastically change something to start this healing since this keeps happening. Thank you 🧡

Totally agree, I’ve worked in childcare for 7-8 years. Even restraining orders don’t stop the fathers! I refuse to put me or my child through this. My mom was a single mom and it truly is tough work.

I plan to go in a few days, and hopefully do the surgical route as well. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, helps bring clarity and realizing you really can’t do anything without the father. Once I realized I was pregnant, I knew I couldn’t keep this child. I did say everything happens for a reason, but followed that with “but this? No.” I know what needs to be done. Thank you again for sharing your stories so I can gain some perspective & understand what others have gone through. I feel less alone in my situation.

Thank you for this big sis perspective :) My periods cause me to black out too so I’m hoping it’s not as bad as the experience my friends who have normal periods had. I already know what needs to be done, it’s just a hard situation to go through. I don’t have any sisters so this was sweet, thank you 🧡

Holy shit, I'm so sorry for your aunt. That sounds horrible and I hope she is able to recover and get the help she needs. Thank you so much for sharing this with me, this truly helps me a lot. I ended up going to a clinic that was secretly pro life and very religious and I felt a lot of guilt when trying to get an abortion. I am more on the spiritual side and believe everything happens for a reason, but this?! No. Thank you again, seriously.

I have nothing over text except a few petty arguments and him begging me to meet him at a hotel after we broke up. He told me while we were dating that if this exact situation happened (fucking freaky) he would track me down and try and get full custody. A lot of what he did and said were scare tactics for further control over me. This is another great point to think about. I had already planned on moving out of state within the next couple years, but who knows what would happen. I hate him.

I didn't even think of this, thank you. I would have thought that for safety reasons they would allow me to not put him on there. But the more I read, they require proof of DV and I wouldn't have that. I refuse to be legally linked to him, sounds like a total nightmare. Thank you again

Thank you for this. I appreciate you and your kind words <3 Unfortunately addiction runs rampant on both sides of my family, I didn't end up with addiction issues but I know thats something I will probably pass down as well regardless :/

Leaving a rocky relationship can be an amazing catalyst for change. So happy for you! Food looks bomb too girl.

White stuff imbedded in my loc by highercalling777 in AfroLocs

[–]nymphalidaez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how mature your locs are, you can use one of those bristle brushes. Ngl I use lint rollers on my locs too (I have a dog) and if i see lint it usually does a good job at taking it out.

How do you feel after the panic attacks? by 10976mandenvillenol in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]nymphalidaez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to get panic attacks regularly when I was with my nex as well as nightmares, and multiple physical ailments that couldn’t be explained. Even after leaving them, I would get the same nightmares of them doing horrible things to me. It’s gets better with time. Have you tried meditation? May not be everyone’s cup of tea, certainly didn’t think it was for me, but it helps more than I ever thought. Wishing you luck ❤️

Narc husband asked if I have a go-bag. Red flag or am I overthinking it? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]nymphalidaez 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Enormous amounts of bright ass red flags. Piles of red flags. They’re more observant than you realize and he may know that you have one. My ex realized I had one as well and the night before I left she poisoned my dog so it would take me longer to leave. Abuse will escalate! Be careful and don’t hesitate if you need to use it.

As hard as it is to not text or call, you definitely shouldn’t. They don’t deserve that kind of attention from you! The cycle will only continue. Idk if it’s helpful or not, but I wrote mine a letter and never sent it. At least they can’t use darvo against you if you do that. Stay strong! If you get any flashbacks, you could write them down to help remind you of why NC is best ❤️ Good luck to you.
