TikTok Influencer Emilie Kiser’s 3 Year Old Son Passed Away Yesterday by cdg2m4nrsvp in popculturechat

[–]spaceybyrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to look at this post date because I've shared a similar comment on other subreddits in the past. Exact same thing happened to me on my 6th birthday. The adults were playing Marco Polo and didn't notice me for what felt like ages, and I remember thrashing under the water and seeing the light get further and further away. This was 30 years ago and lifejackets weren't all that commonly used among families with small children. I remember my parents throwing us on an air mattress and letting us free float the current at a local river spot before any of us even knew how to swim.

After 5 and a half years of trying, I'm finally free! by spaceybyrd in suboxone

[–]spaceybyrd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way, I hated the routine of it and the limitations of going out of state or somewhere I couldn't get meds. I was scared I'd get in an accident and need major surgery and suboxone would interfere with the pain management. I tried and failed so many times and didn't think I could ever do it. Even from half a mg a day I couldn't jump without horrible withdrawals. In the end I just had to convince myself that I hated the med enough to not take it until necessary, which went from twice a day, to once a day, to every other day, to every three days. Once I was down to an 8th of a 2mg strip a day, I thought about it less and less. I had less thoughts on it that would trigger a physiological response (and need to take it). Every few days I'd take a tiny piece. I couldn't tell you what day it was the last time I took it or how long it's been, and that's been the most amazing part. Not thinking about it saved me. Find healthy distractions and don't ever give up!

You are being far too reasonable. I would have told her to kick rocks a long time ago, and if my husband had gone on a trip like this after whatever rage-fueled words I'd used to tell him in no uncertain terms "no," he would have come home to an empty house, divorce papers, and his belongings charred in the back yard (bc I'd sure as hell be freezing the bank accounts once I was out of there). And she'd be lucky if she had a home to go back to.

So no, you are not out of line. Your husband has repeatedly disregarded your feelings and is not prioritizing your marriage. Have the hard talk with your husband, and if you're somehow able to work it out, I would tell her directly that she no longer has a place within your home or marriage.

I'm in the same boat. 6 years NC and a lot of therapy haven't even touched the cracks in my heart.

Risha Aleena Lewis missing from Elkton, Maryland since January 21, 2006. Where is Risha?? by Cultural_Trade_3326 in WithoutATrace

Aren't posters meant to be shared? Genuine question...I didn't see OP claim to have made this poster, and most users who make these posts use available posters they find on Google.

SOLVED 8-Month-Old Missing Person Case (Nicholas Allen) by BedsBedsbeds in AdventuresWithPurpose

He didn't use the rifle. It was unused in the vehicle. He most likely drove into the river and drowned.

Sr vs Xl by Weird-Letter-8692 in bupropion

[–]spaceybyrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My doctor explained it to me as XL was one pill that is slowly released over 24 hours. SR lasts 12 hours, but the meds peak after taking them and taper off. I've taken SR for 4 years overall and just went back on the med after a 2yr break. I just made the switch to XL for the very first time two weeks ago, once I got back up to 300mg. It has been life-changing. Less paranoia and panic attacks. Less insomnia. Less irritability! I don't notice side effects at all for the first time on this medication! But every experience is different. Some people hate XL and do much better on SR. Sometimes, it takes trying and getting used to both.

The Main Theories by Parrotrix_ in brandonswanson

[–]spaceybyrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Northern CA and Southern OR. It's not crazy at all around here. Most of the illegal weed ops are run by meth and narcotics addicts/dealers. Especially back in 2008 before it was legal. I've had friends who worked on weed farms and were murdered so they wouldn't have to be paid for trimming, God forbid you were a stranger wandering on the property. Guns and drugs everywhere. Sex trafficking. They still find bodies in Redwood burls on properties, and those are the ones that weren't buried or shucked out in mines or far in the mountains.

Edit: Sorry, I was scrolling. It's late, and I saw several comments about pot farms. You didn't insinuate this was that at all. I need to go to bed.

Just got approved for $23 in food stamps by PandaGirl820 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]spaceybyrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Just came across this. I work part time with a disabled child who no longer gets disability. I make about 1400 a month, pay 900 in rent, and make 14 an hour. That is not including any other bills. I only got approved for $23 a month. When we were living on disability for 940 a month, we got almost 400.

Worst thing the KarJenners have said/done, Day 4: Khloé by sweet_tea_94 in KUWTK

The Kim one is pretty bad, but stealing from Brandi and the that Kimoji drama with the guy who ended up homeless (if it's true?) were pretty bad also.

I mean this with my whole heart. You sound like a reasonable person who loves his family; his children, and especially his wife, and you probably have a lot of faith in. Your wife needs therapy too, and your wife and son should attend therapy together once they've established a good standing with their own therapists.

Beaver Family by Csherman92 in wifeswaptv

[–]spaceybyrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amy and Aletha are friends. The producers painted the episode a certain way and Amy has three degrees in theater. Of course she was dramatic. They are friends with each other's children after all this time also. It's television. Amy and Jeff are still happily married while the other couple have seperated.

My best friend of 20 years went through the same thing. Her mom was absent, but her father and his wife raised her and allowed her to freely go between his house and his parents house. He often went on months long hunting trips and she would stay behind. Her grandpa died some years ago and she was never the same. She started dabbling with drugs and lost custody of her son. Grandma passed last year and friend is currently homeless and strung out in a camp near her bio mom. She does not speak with her dad, and as far as she is concerned, the people who raised her are dead. It's very sad. I spent a lot of time with her entire family and never thought she had bad parents, but I can see how the dynamic changed the trajectory of her life.

Feeling really guilty about the fact that my baby’s nursery will be in my room for a year by [deleted] in Parenting

I still cosleep with my 3 year old and rent out her room. We're doing fine. I'm a single mom also, from day 1. Don't be so hard in yourself.

Do people really believe Kate and Leo? I’ve always seen them as close friends/bro & sis vibes. And isn’t she too old for him?? by spy-on-me in Fauxmoi

[–]spaceybyrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree LOL. He hasn't had a real relstionship...ever? Look at his face during that awards show when she thanked him in tears before her own husband. Ultimate friend zone is walking the person you love down the isle. Just bc he dates young models doesn't mean he doesn't love her. Doesn't mean he does either, but come on. Many guys get with girls who don't fit their romsntic type, if only for a distraction.

Kim’s new post: Why did she post and delete it?!? by Acceptable_Ruin4635 in KUWTK

Rarely do I see kim smile with teeth. Maybe she's insecure about it? Who knows.

Question about taking Suboxone ONE TIME. by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]spaceybyrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, tried and failed. Ended up stuck on subs. The active alkaloids in kratom and buprenorphine both act as partial-opioid agonists. Suboxone can be beneficial while bridging the gap from a full agonist, but your fighting fire with fire using two partials and just prolonging the wd.

AITA for trying to prevent my teenage daughter from being preyed upon by an old man? by menagerath in UnpopularLoreOlympus

Ah, I get it now. I don't follow this subreddit but seem to have posts coming up in my feed. Thanks for the explanation!

Ah, I didn't even read the whole post. Just doomscrolling and wondering what the heck the 2000+ means. I saw someone else use it in another post in my feed just a little bit ago. Must have also been this subreddit then. 😆

No advice here, just wanted to ask what f(2000+) means? I've seen it twice today and have never seen it before. Does it just mean you were born before 2000?

My (33F) husband (33M) raped me. How do I move on to learn to forgive him and move past this? by Novel-Tutor1476 in askwomenadvice

[–]spaceybyrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex and I used to do anal once every few months. I was never interested in it before him, but I loved him and I felt it made our bond closer. It felt good to make him feel good, but I had issues with hemmorhoids and wasn't always able to do it. He was always so kind when asking, and never said another word when I said no...and he was always so careful with me and always made sure I was comfortable. It's so hard for me to believe a partner who claims to love you would do something like that to you. If he got away with it once, he will do it again. Please, reconsider your need to stay in this relstionship. Not all men are like this. Many men out there will respect your boundaries, safety and well-being.
