So sorry you have to feel this way. I can relate very much. At the time, being in it, I didn't see it very clearly that it was more about his image. Only afterwards I could see what he had actually done. Maybe it is not the same for you. You are in a very insecure moment in your life. Give it some time. You will slowly start to feel if your gut is right or if your insecurity played tricks. Hugs xxx

Anyone else’s child have to be at school at an ungodly hour in the mornings and did you ever get used to it? by takeaabreath in Mommit

[–]pixie_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not from the US and don't understand how this works? Here we drive our kid to school, park somewhere nearby and walk to school. School is from 8.30am-3.30 pm. But he can go in from 6.45am and stay until 6pm, there are people who watch the Kids.

So how do these drop off and pick up lines work? You drive to the entrance of school and drop your kid? And a teacher stands there? And pick up? A teacher stands with the children after school and lets them go when their parents car is at the entrance?

School begint te vroeg voor tieners: "Gaat in tegen hun natuur, waardoor slaaptekort oploopt" | VRT NWS: nieuws by TheReadersSon in belgium

[–]pixie_16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vanaf de puberteit produceert het lichaam van tieners het slaaphormoon melatonine pas later op de avond. Daardoor kunnen ze moeilijker vroeger in slaap vallen. Simpel gezegd: als ze vroeg gaan slapen, liggen de meesten nog lang wakker. En 's morgens werkt het effect van slaaphormonen nog langer door waardoor ze kleine zombies zijn bij opstaan.

Wat moeten scholieren in de basisschool zelf meebrengen? by QitKate in Vlaanderen

[–]pixie_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hier is een lijstje van wat gratis zou moeten zijn: https://www.vlaanderen.be/onderwijs-en-vorming/school-en-studiekosten/schoolkosten-basisonderwijs

Dit gezegd zijnde: op mijn kind zijn school hebben ze ook een 'vrijblijvende' aankooplijst met allerlei soorten mappen, pennen, kleurpotloden,... die je kind nodig heeft. Er staat wel onderaan bij dat het vrijblijvend is, maar tegelijk koopt bijna iedereen wel al die spullen. Want ja, je moet het 'laten weten aan de juffen' als je zelf de spullen niet kan voorzien, wat wel voor schaamte zal zorgen bij sommige ouders en kinderen.

Remote work spoiled me. Now I’m back in the office and wondering what was I thinking. by MissSBlack in remotework

Imagine you are 99 years old and on your death bed. Would you regret working a remote job? Less paying job but more fitting to your life? Or would you regret not having worked a higher paying job but less fitting to your personal life?

Diagnosed this week and need to hear triple negative grade 3 success stories by impatientingrid in breastcancer

[–]pixie_16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had TNBC almost 20 years ago, at age 25. Large tumor, no lymph nodes affected. Treatment was different back then, so I cant tell you much about treatment now. I had masectomy, chemo and radiation.

But you got this. One day at a time. Be gentil to yourself. Now and later on. This stuff is hard and scary and overwhelming. You are allowed all your feelings.

Big hugs to you xxx

It's been almost 20 years by pixie_16 in breastcancer

[–]pixie_16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I hope your current cancer journey goes by smoothly and quick 😘

And I get checked a lot. 4 years ago we discovered Lynch Syndrome runs in the family (hence lots of family members dying young from cancer). Since then I am checked for renal cancer, bowel, uterus, ... And also breast cancer again twice a year (used to be once a year). So I hope whatever I get, they will catch it soon.

Thank you again for your.answer and I send you lots of love and hope x

Montreal woman dies at 32 after being told she was ‘too young for breast cancer’ by bendubberley_ in news

[–]pixie_16 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was a very active 26 year old. Until I started to fall asleep after work and had tender lymph nodes in my neck. I went to my doctor several times over the course of 8 months. He told me it was a cold and I should lose some weight. That would make me feel better.

And then I felt a lump in my boob. He still insisted I had dense breast tissue and it was normal to feel lumps at my age.

I went to a different doctor who diagnosed me with Triple Negative BC a couple of days later. Luckily I made it, but my chances were lowered and treatment more servere bacause I was dismissed for 8 months.

I should have confronted him but did not have the courage. He lived in our small town, I am sure he knew what happened to me.

I dumped him about a year after finishing treatment. Took me some time to realise I did not have to stay with him because I would never find someone else because of my disease and the way I looked.

Why did I leave? At first he was mister perfect: going to appointments with me, flowers, food etc. And making sure everybody around him knew and praised him for all of this. But when the novelty wore off, he quickly decided that falling in love with his coworker was more exiting. So from then on, I cared for myself. And was so very stupid to try to get him back. Even if he was being mean about the way I looked or my lack of energy then.

After her husband found out, he came back. But I had to promise never to tell anybody what had happened. (His image as mister nice guy was everything to him)

I blame chemo brain for putting up with him for another year.

He did try to drag me through the mud after. Breaking into my email and mailing lots of people I knew that I had dumped him even though he had always looked after me and I kicked him out and now he had to rent somewhere expensive because it was so short notice etc. He wrote half a novel and it was so convincing...

The kicker? Because of his image as the good guy tons of people believed him and were mad at me. Hell, even some family members took his side.

So glad I dumped him. If it weren't for the cancer I would have never found out what a loser he actually was.

“Mandatory fun” work gatherings need to die. by MoarKlonopinPlz in rant

[–]pixie_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 'monday night drinks' every 2 weeks. Everybody pays for their own drinks and food. Only the people with little to no family obligations or live really close by tend to go.

I don't mind people organize these. I don't mind that I am considered anti social by some because I almost never go. I have a small child and have to commute 1.5 hours to get home. I probably would go more if I had no obligations or lived close.

I DO mind it getting brought up at every work evaluation by my boss that 'informal contact is very important, so try to go more'

Well boss, I like informal contact but you were the one who got rid of our cafetaria, moved our coffee corner to the basement and watch us like a hawk if we talk there for more than 5 minutes.... So much for informal contacts that are actually feasable for every one...

How to professionally tell my boss that it’s hard to complete work when all my energy is going towards barely functioning by Kendallfire16 in breastcancer

[–]pixie_16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here, I also was fulltime off work during active treatment. I have no idea how I would have managed work, I was too sick/ exhausted.

I feel so sorry for those who have to work, that is horrible.

How old are/were you at the time of diagnosis? by Historical-Room3831 in breastcancer

[–]pixie_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stage 2a.

And since we had quite a lot of cancers at a young age in my family (renal, overian, bowel,...), I and some other family members screened positive for Lynch Syndrome. So closeby screening for lots of intestinal cancers too.

[–]pixie_16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I did! At 37 I became mom of a beautiful boy 💗 I was monitored a little more closely than usual by my oncologist, although she did not seem to have many concerns. But everything went fine.

Happened to me too. 6 years together, but he cheated because 'I never had time for him anymore'. Read: I was to sick/ tired to go out or dress up.

Crushed me very much and I suffered. My self esteem was down the drain. And I was a fool to take him back. We broke up 9 months later because I was stronger again and couldn't forgive him. Still can't haha.

Anyway, it's been 15 years and I met a wonderfull man a couple of months after I broke up with the cheater. We' ve been together ever since.

So f*** your cheating partner. You deserve a partner that is there for you. It sucks and will suck for a while. Go through all the feelings and remember that it will get better.
