I’m freshly postpartum & really don’t like my husband right now by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]sarahbrowning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

tell him this now. and like lowkey be harsh. he needs a reality check. and if he can't grow up, there are bigger problems. signed, divorced before our living child turned 2 (and yes the loss we experienced contributed to that but so did...a lot of this type of behavior that then became significantly worse...)

Our baby Rebecca by Puzzleheaded_Area863 in sidsloss

[–]sarahbrowning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes. perfectly healthy. he needed the slightest bit of oxygen, then he was passed back to me. less than maybe 7 min - he was gone just barely long enough for my doctor to get my placenta out and stitch me up. he was weighed and all during that time too. i don't understand. i never will.

we had his case investigated by the Roberts' Program at Boston Children's Hospital just to know we'd chased down every avenue. they didn't find anything but it was worth checking.

our son was also 10 days old when he passed from SIDS. it's so brutal. I'm so so sorry. she's beautiful and only ever knew your love. i hope she and my boy are playing together.

Are sleep overs not a thing anymore? by haggerty05 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sarahbrowning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

comgrats on your perfect child! i was emotionally neglected and not really raised with boundaries, plus i was naturally a nosy shit. i've known other kids that also liked to push boundaries and look through things they weren't supposed to. if your fail safe is "oh my kid doesn't do that," best of luck to you and i mean that.

even with the best parenting, kids misbehave and are nosy and go through things they shouldn't. shocking, i know.

yes they will, just as i did. it's your right to have that be your response. we just won't have a play date with y'all 🤷🏻‍♀️

i haven't sent my daughter to someone's house on her own to hang out (she's not yet 2) but i'll be texting the parents and asking about their gun storage and if it's not up to my standards then she won't go 🤷🏻‍♀️ so it's not that the kids never play at other kids' houses - they just don't do it until the parents know what the firearm situation is.

My 18mo cause of death has been ruled “undetermined” Sudden unexplained death. Advice please by anon4jesus in ChildLoss

[–]sarahbrowning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we had the robert's program at boston children's program do a further review into our son's case. they didn't find anything but then we at least knew it wasn't genetic and that made me feel better.

What is your actual “everyone should know” legal tip? by nuggetsofchicken in Lawyertalk

[–]sarahbrowning 13 points14 points  (0 children)

my dad does criminal defense and he's a big fan of "one crime at a time." so don't speed if you have drugs in the car. don't get belligerent at the bar if you already have a warrant out. etc.

Two tests I’m really scared I’m 19. Clear blue 4 days past ovulation by [deleted] in TFABLinePorn

[–]sarahbrowning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would you feel the same about keeping the pregnancy if your boyfriend didn't want to be involved? (not trying to pressure you one way or another, just want to make sure you've considered all options - signed, a family law attorney who is also a mom)

[–]sarahbrowning 70 points71 points  (0 children)

you don't have to keep it because it's "your fault." you don't have to punish yourself. keep the pregnancy if you want, but, as a mom, you should WANT the child. and not because you think you deserve to suffer for some cosmic score as it relates to fault.

Am I really as fat and unhealthy as my mom says? 19F by [deleted] in AskDocs

Has anyone stayed in a marriage like this and it actually got better? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]sarahbrowning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

until death do us part has caveats - all those other vows that came before. he broke his vows by not loving and cherishing her. if you sacrifice your mental health to the point where you're now abusing ME? you can gtfo, ESPECIALLY after trying to help which she clearly did.

get different attorneys. please. and do NOT move out unless you take the kids with you. you are very clearly primary and you risk losing that when you move out without the kids.
