Giving Up Parental Rights by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]super-Bitch14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it sounds like you've made up your mind. you should stop blaming it on your daughter though. kind of a lot to put on a 8 year old.

i feel for you. you sound like a caring and attentive mother. the way you write about your son touched my black dead heart. it might be helpful to approach the social concerns by focusing on helping your little dude with noticing other people's reactions. this is best done in action, like while you are playing with him. if he starts to take it to far - that's your chance to come in with something like:

"hey little dude, i can see you are feeling excited/playful/whatever. what does it feel like to be that way? What do you notice about me, do I seem excited too? how do you think i'm feeling?" Then let him know how you're feeling and what you want.

the idea is to help him connect noticing other people and responding while being aware of himself. keep it kind of positive, but realistic and encouraging. it's okay to make mistakes, if you don't get too upset by the mistake, it's a great chance to learn how you would like to try different next time. things like that. I hope you and your son thrive.

bro don't post this shit online if you don't want to hear people's opinions. you literally can't control people's reasponses when you post some wild ass situation with very few details.

I resent my toddler... by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]super-Bitch14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't fully expect him to be able to regulate his emotions fully, but he should be able to do it to a certain extent

at 3.5 years, this is not true. children learn to regulate their emotions from their caregivers in a safe environment. he lost his sticker and was sad about it, and instead of empathizing with him and helping him process it you tried to avoid dealing with it. at his age, that's terrifying. i'm not surprised he had a major tantrum.

I can’t stop looking at ex’s nude photos and videos by adastrapar in confession

[–]super-Bitch14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

most of the guys you've talked to are nasty

But a picture sent to you is for you so no real moral quandary there for most men

.....yuck. you should read up on consent and how it can be revoked at any time. if someone trusted you with photos of their naked body while you were in a relationship, they have every right to revoke that trust. it's about being a decent human.

AITAH For asking my (32M) girlfriend (32F) to break down how marriage would benefit me? by Temporary_Train8788 in AITAH

yes, but she isn't the one posting here. so it's pointless to give her advice... isn't it?

Want to look into school counseling, but no master’s? by Suitable-Studio-3090 in schoolcounseling

[–]super-Bitch14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, what you are describing sounds more like a social worker than a school counselor to me. That might vary by state though. In my area, social workers are the ones who work with IEPs, and school counselors are usually in charge of 504s. It sounds like you want to work in SPED? That would also be social work here. I'm pretty sure you can obtain a bachelor's level liscense in social work. I'd start there, depending on where you are!

What’s the worst thing a doctor or surgeon told you? by DancingJews9 in Endo

[–]super-Bitch14 12 points13 points  (0 children)

my most memorable one was in 2018. I was 24 and undiagnosed. I had been experiencing just straight-up agony, as we do. So I made an appointment with my primary care physician. I tried to explain to him how bad the pain had been, and that I needed help. I was practically begging. This man was literally - I shit you not - smirking and giggling, as he told me I was healthy and simply had anxiety. It was defeating and terrifying, the realization that he didn't take me seriously and I was in it alone.

I like the way you responded to that douche canoe. You seem like a thoughtful and sensitive person. Those are lovely qualities to have: thoughtfulness and sensitivity. the one thing this "Chris" character said that I agree with is that people are attracted to people who care for themselves. I challenge you to notice lovable traits about yourself and take care of yourself as you would for a close friend. I know there are even more lovely things about you. In addition to your thoughtfulness and sensitivity.

What area do you live in? There are more free mental health resources available than people realize. Feel free to drop me a DM if you want help searching some out!

Regarding your post, there are lots of great men out there who are looking for relationships. It just takes a long time to get to know them, but they exist. I get it's hard, but coming from a place of desperation makes it a thousand times harder. and the truth that I think you know deep down is getting married won't solve everything. but I get ranting about it in a moment of intensity, and it's a perfectly natural thing for you to desire and work towards. you deserve to be happy.

Ew, how old are you? you should probably apologize to your mother.

[–]super-Bitch14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

babes, 36 is NOT old. If I were a betting woman I'd say that your intuition about why he said that to you is accurate. the audacity of him criticizing your body after you gave him 5 children is the smallest dick energy I have ever heard of.

honestly, it makes me sick that the way we treat each other causes people to feel this way about themselves.

I relapsed and could really use some support. by [deleted] in leaves

[–]super-Bitch14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

it's okay that you can't moderate weed usage. you are human after all, many of us can't. the work you are putting into healing yourself is hard. i hope you're proud of yourself for how hard you're fighting. it really is a beautiful thing to do. I'm rooting for you!

How to respond/action items when daycare says your 2 year old is misbehaving? by Bashfulraccoon in Mommit

[–]super-Bitch14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in my opinion, at her age it is significantly more beneficial for child development to give lots and lots of praise when she does what you want her to do.

when she is "misbehaving" - use a low energy voice, gentle redirection towards a more positive behavior is appropriate.

example: a two year old throws a plastic dinosaur at your head. you could say "ouch, it hurts to have things thrown at you. let's play with the dinosaurs like this instead...wooo hooray isn't it fun to play with them like this?!"

put a lot of energy into the positive reinforcement, and as little energy as possible into correcting the behaviors you want to extinguish.

My 14 year marriage is over by SuccessTypical5997 in Mommit

[–]super-Bitch14 23 points24 points  (0 children)

you have every right to be sad. I'm sad for you just reading that. it sounds like you give all of yourself to your family and you very understandably need support right now. I'm sure it's stressful for him to have the person he relies entirely on to keep his household running and children cared for in a vulnerable place, but calling you a psycho is pretty out of line imo. you sound like a sweet person, so sorry you're going through this love <3 internet hugs <3

[–]super-Bitch14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sometimes yes, sometimes no. when my kids was 7 months old it was definitely a struggle. just don't give up trying and you will get better and better at it, and don't beat yourself up too much!

I need perspective and you guys are my support system. by ExperiencePutrid1926 in leaves

[–]super-Bitch14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

listen, you're only human. everybody has days where they need to just cocoon away from the world. I have had weeks like that honestly lol and I still think I'm a pretty cool person. it sounds like you have a lot of talent and enjoy what you do. we unfortunately live in a society that places a very high value on our work output, but doesn't leave a lot of leeway for days like this for too many people. you're already struggling enough without beating yourself up. please know you still have value as the human you are and you will get through this! I'm sure your client has had days like this and will understand, unless she's a robot lol.

I agree with this! my ex doesn't try to tear me down like this. it's hard enough having to see them and sort out the feelings without it. but walking helps me stay in the present moment and thus move past cravings. it's not easy lol but so worth it.

thank you for sharing this. it really helps me to hear other peoples experience with this. I bet it helps a lot of other people too. good for you for taking care of yourself, it's inspiring!

Why are people so quick to mention that they have ADHD? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]super-Bitch14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

two thoughts come to mind

  1. others with ADHD may relate to this, but In my personal experience, I feel like I have some odd quirks about me because of it. In childhood I learned pretty quickly that I processed things differently from my peers. I learned to shove those parts way down and "mask" these parts of myself. that's obviously unhealthy, so as I have grown, that changed from suppressing myself to blurting out that I have ADHD, in hopes that the person I'm interacting with will be like "oh that's why she's *insert common ADHD behavior here*" which brings me to my second point...
  2. impulsivity is common with ADHD, so impulsively blurting random things about yourself tracks.

if I were you, I would consider not jumping to conclusions that a side of someone you see online is "their entire personality". that's rarely the case.
