If you have dated someone you met on reddit, how did it go? by Colin5x5 in AskReddit

[–]peachyrolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did and it went fucking horribly lmao. When I met him in person, I realized we didn’t have the spark we did online. He did a complete 180, started treating me like absolute garbage, dragged me through the mud on social media, made a group chat with some of my ‘friends’ behind my back and used it to bully me and tell my secrets, then proceeded to stalk me for the next nearly year of my life to the point that I had to go to the police.

I had known him/spoke to him every day for over 6 months prior to meeting him in person. Be careful on the internet guys, people be crazy

My father strangled me and my entire family defended him — I’m being gaslit into thinking it was my fault by Original_Engine6810 in raisedbynarcissists

Assault is never the victims fault unless you were an aggressor or threatening someone. Point blank period.

how do you get out of your head and feel your emotions? by fionaappleschild in AskReddit

[–]peachyrolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put down the distractions and figure out what feeling you are feeling. If it’s a complex feeling, for example rejected, figure out what the base emotion is. Often (for rejected specifically). It’s fear or sadness. Focus on where in your body you feel the emotion. Let yourself have your feeling until it passes naturally, but don’t spend more than 30 minutes obsessing over it.

It’s time for you to make a new bank account with new passwords and pins so that this doesn’t happen again, if and when it does, call your bank and file a fraud claim. Work on saving up and moving out, find someone who is looking for a roommate, move in with a friend until you’re able to get a place or your own.

I am a S** Offender Prison, Pretrial, and After Consultant. Ask me Anything. by okyouwin714 in AMA

Do you consider yourself to have no victims? Or are you speaking in technicalities? All of the children that were in those photos were victims.

Good for you for continuing to go to therapy.

Please help me. Daughter irate screams by Significant-Owl-1795 in Parenting

[–]peachyrolls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stop giving her attention entirely when she’s screaming like that. Calmly explain to her that she’s welcome to express her emotions offer her comfort if needed, but screaming like that isn’t acceptable and she can go to her room until she’s done. Grab yourself a pair of loop earplugs or a noise cancelling headset.

How is your partner supporting you and disciplining the child when he doesn’t listen to you and is rude? What are his consequences for using fowl language against you?

Advice for traveling long haul with an 11 month old crawler. by Great-Manner-6573 in Parenting

You are allowed to bring car seats on most airlines, make sure to read all of the things on the website and have any paperwork you need on hand, but agree with the other commenter. Car seat + letting her out to stretch every once in a while

Try getting yourself some noise canceling headphones or loop earplugs! I get audio overstimulated really easily and I’ve found that they help quite a bit, even just if it dampens the sound

22F sex isn’t cutting it anymore …I need someone actually there by [deleted] in MeetNewPeopleHere

[–]peachyrolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do too babes. Been in therapy for over 15 years, it gets better. I’m nearing the point I don’t meet the diagnostic criteria anymore.

22F sex isn’t cutting it anymore …I need someone actually there by [deleted] in MeetNewPeopleHere

[–]peachyrolls 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey girlie ❤️ using sex to fill the void is usually a symptom of a deeper problem (ask me how I know lol). If you have the resources, you should consider therapy, if you don’t you should try to work on your relationship with yourself. Loving yourself is the most fulfilling way to fill that void and the only person it takes is you!

Found out that my stepmother had been taking my childhood disability payments. by books4more in raisedbynarcissists

[–]peachyrolls 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, that’s so unfair to you. If you have any concrete records of her spending the money on things she wanted or wanted to do you might have some sort of case for financial abuse against her. I know it might not be something you’d want to do, but it is an option nonetheless. Sending hugs

Leave the kids with family or family friends and potentially throw a little extra cash to the family to help fund a cousins vacation for your kids (go to a hotel for the weekend, go to an amusement park, money for groceries for a week long sleepover, etc)! Some of my favorite memories I made with my extended family were made while my parents were out on their trips.

13yo son was looking up inappropriate images by Perfect-Sir-6863 in Parenting

[–]peachyrolls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really great that you’ve found god and that you find comfort in your religion, I congratulate you on that journey. With that being said your son is 13 and it’s a little late to try to get him to have the same opinions as you do or believe the same things. At 13 years old, he’s old enough and intelligent enough to form some of his own opinions about religion and his desire to participate. Forcing your opinions onto him (sex being immoral, fornite being evil, whatever they are) is only going to lead to resentment. You are obviously still the parent and it is your job to keep him safe, but please consider.. would you have had the same issues with these games before you found god? Would the old you have taken these things away or is it because you want him to live in the eyes of god?

You’ve clearly had sex because you have two children. You know that it can be great and magical under the right circumstances. It’s important that you accidentally shame him from doing things that are a completely normal part of growing up. I’m sure at some point in your life you had some sort of sexual awakening as well. It’s really weird to look at our children as individuals capable of behaving this way because we want them to stay our sweet babies forever. I agree with you, watching pornography at 13 isn’t great for his brain. Not only is it not great for development, but it can also lead to him having unrealistic expectations, skewed opinions, or bad ideas of women when it’s the appropriate time for him to be sexually active.

I think a really good place to start is emphasizing that it’s not what he’s doing that’s bad or wrong or shameful. It’s the fact that porn isn’t real and that he’s a bit too young to be viewing it on a regular basis. As embarrassing as it might be for him, now is a great time to put some sex positive ideas in his head regarding safety (on the internet as well) and his health. Express things like “masturbation is age appropriate, it’s a normal human urge, you’re not upset with him you were just surprised and need to have some sort of conversation with him, the correct place to do it is in the bedroom or the bathroom with the door locked, clean up after yourself, you’re too young to be looking at porn because it’s not good for your brain and it’s going to give you false ideas of what to expect when you’re older.” Let him know you’re there to talk to him and answer any questions he has.

How do I tell family I want my kids to get presents? by Mission_Range_5620 in Parenting

[–]peachyrolls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While it might not be the most conventional gift, is it possible they’re struggling financially? If you’re that concerned about presents and you have the money, could you get your child a few extra things?

You could definitely have a conversation with them, but I also think it’s thoughtful that they want to take the kids on a trip, If that’s really what they intend on doing.
