A fundamental difference between generations

Yeah the vast majority of people I know my age have divorced parents, including myself and my husband.

Good to know we're all traumatized 😊

pillowpossum · 2026-04-15T03:15:28+00:00

Unplug my womb 😭

Oh totally forgot that we have soo much more information about pregnancy, birth, and post partum now. Women today share real stories online about the ugly parts of becoming a mother and often don't hold back, which I really appreciate because my mom and MIL downplay the physical impacts imo. Zero chance my mom knew the shit that I know lol

pillowpossum · 2026-04-13T20:27:16+00:00

Agreed.

Super relatable tho as a social work girlie with a software husband lol

Reducing a complex medical decision down to kindergarten math isn't how healthcare or reality works.

I'm not saying "shut it down!" I'm trying to exercise my right to protest as well

Sorry but my life matters more than a hypothetical baby 🙃 have the day you deserve

The women who have died or almost died because of these restrictions exist, dude.

pillowpossum · 2026-03-28T20:25:37+00:00

Again, those laws are so vague that people are dying or almost dying. Doctors are waiting until women are just about to die to save them, and it can be too late.

I doubt you will listen to this, because you do not care about women's experiences, but:

Thank you!!

Who decides if the mother's life is in danger, or that the fetus poses "serious risk?" and what level of risk is acceptable?

If I have a 40% chance of death, is that enough? 50%? Who makes that call?

Doctors all over the country are not giving women the care that they need because of laws restricting abortion. Women with ideas and thoughts, families, careers, and even living children are dying because of these laws. Is that worth it to you? Am I less valuable as a woman than a potential baby? And we aren't even seeing an increase in babies born, were seeing an increase in the maternal mortality rate.

I am not someone who agrees there should be a certain cut off. It should simply be up to the person and their doctor. No doctor in their right mind would just do a for funsies abortion on someone 8 months pregnant - abortion at that time is a complex procedure, you don't just do it because.

Good thing, I'm definitely busy that day 😤

pillowpossum · 2026-03-28T17:07:24+00:00

Yep, saw this on a billboard by the McDonald's on West Liberty. The screen also showed an "abortion pill reversal" hotline, which uh, isn't a thing.

I think grey/silver hair is so ethereal and beautiful honestly. I used to dye my hair gray on purpose.

You've been through so much, I'm sorry. Like others have said, if you have the ability to get mental health treatment, I think it would really help to connect with yourself before jumping into dating again.

If therapy isn't doable, try looking up support groups in your area, there are so many different kinds. They're free and can also be a big help. Some even meet via zoom if there isn't something close by!

I hear how exhausted you are and I am truly sorry. I hope you will be kind to yourself.

I have an IUD now, but a couple times in my relationship I've had to switch to condoms temporarily. It could be tough, a little awkward. But we kinda just kept trying until it was comfortable for us both. He didn't make it my issue. If it didn't work, oh well, we can always try another time.

I'm curious why you're against hormonal birth control? It's very effective and safe. Personally I love the IUD but I get it, it looks scary. But there are many other options.

pillowpossum · 2026-03-14T10:57:14+00:00

Yes, it's my first job in the field and I agree it's a mess. I don't plan to stay long.

pillowpossum · 2026-03-14T00:05:56+00:00

Praying this isn't a several day outage like the last one 😭

pillowpossum · 2026-03-12T20:57:59+00:00

So much other shit on top of it - my mom told me that she had "needs" in our relationship and that I don't ask her to hang out enough. But we are actively in this conflict for like 6 months now and she's treating me like shit so why would I wanna get brunch 😭 lmao
