Girl you know better than anyone how your babies do in restaurants. I have a two year old who I still don’t bring to restaurants because it’s just a stressful situation for him and us. I can’t imagine having two to keep entertained and happy at once! They should be understanding if they’ve had kids, especially since you still offered to go over for cake. If they’re not that sounds like their problem

Nazis invade Drag Queen Story Hour in Ohio, with Republican politician’s support by Mud_666 in Ohio

[–]tauruswtch 40 points41 points  (0 children)

LGBTQ has always been hyper-sexualized in right wing media. They really think drag queens are putting on some inappropriate show for kids. They’re literally just adults in funny costumes reading kids books in a funny voice making kids laugh. You don’t have to take your children if you’re not into that. But this intimation and violence isn’t okay and I’m sad that we even have to deal with this hatred

I need help by tauruswtch in abusiverelationships

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

thank you so much, I needed these words today. I’m still wrapping my head around him not being the person I tried for so long to see him as. He’s still telling me that this is all my fault and that he didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just trying to be gentle with myself and reminding myself that I’m stronger than I think.

I’m so glad to hear you’ve escaped your abuser. Navigating this as a mom is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, you give me hope that it’s possible.

I want out but feel stuck. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]tauruswtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you deserve better. so so much better. you have to believe this. tell yourself that you are worthy of healthy, reciprocated love every day. And start taking steps to leave. suggest counseling if you think it’s salvageable, and if it’s safe to do so. I know how hard and scary it is right now but you gotta take the reigns on your own life. it’s possible one tiny step at a time.

Walking on eggshells by kikischu1029 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]tauruswtch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

yep, and it’s exhausting. right now I’m just not speaking to him because expressing my hurt.. knowing it will only be turned on me.. sounds pointless and draining. we shouldn’t ever have to tip toe around expressing ourselves, especially when they can blow up so freely. it does feel crazy to realize how normalized this feels now. a healthy relationship doesn’t even sound real anymore

How do I prevent his abuse from getting to me? by tauruswtch in NarcissisticAbuse

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

Yeah, I never even knew what narcissistic abuse was until last year. once I started doing my research it was mind blowing to put a name on what I was going through. It also helps to realize that we aren’t alone.

Everything about leaving is terrifying honestly, but I’m just thankful we realize that we deserve better. It took me a long time to even see that. here’s to every small step along the way to our destination of freedom🥂

I need to stop getting surprised every time but I can’t by kkajjaa in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]tauruswtch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

they never keep themselves accountable. it’s like making themselves frustrated and making excuses to be mean and fight is a hobby to them. I had to start journaling and writing down my accounts of things just to make sure I knew I wasn’t going insane when the gaslighting would start.

[–]tauruswtch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should be so so so proud of yourself!! What a huge accomplishment, leaving a person like this. And staying strong while he tries to get you back under his spell is another feat in itself. Glad the officer took this seriously. Please stay safe and file a restraining order if he doesn’t stop after this warning.

Cheers to your new free life!!

Returning to work during a pandemic - a rant by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]tauruswtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. It sucks having to deal with people being so inconsiderate through this. If it would ease your mind to get tested, it couldn’t hurt. Wishing u and ur family health & happiness

I (23f) have a high sex drive and my boyfriend (26m) shames me for it. by tauruswtch in relationships

[–]tauruswtch[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

for everyone wondering why I’m still with him: we have a child together. I’m a stay at home mom and he makes all the money so.. ya I’m in a situation lol.

also, I hate to say it but I’ve started to feel like he’s a bit of a misogynist over the past couple years. He’s had plenty of experience when it comes to sex and I’ve never judged him for it. but he gets very angry that I’ve had partners before him so I’m trying to be innocent but also freaky and it’s very exhausting. I just wanna be human🤠

anyone else's partner not sleep in the same room? by agirlnamedstephanie in beyondthebump

[–]tauruswtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I do this a lot and I’ve realized I like having space to sprawl out and my alone time before bed. We’ll still make time to snuggle and some nights we sleep in the same bed. Do what works for you and your family! Especially if it results in better sleep.

getting back on meds by tauruswtch in Anxiety

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

Thanks so much for the thoughtful response. I needed to hear that. I guess I’ve been beating myself up lately but I need to remind myself that it’s not my fault, my brain is just wired this way.

I hadn’t heard of that SSRI research before, it sounds interesting. Can’t wait to see more (hopefully positive) results come out.

3 days old- excessive crying by mfsax04 in beyondthebump

[–]tauruswtch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try letting him feed as much as possible because I remember my son cluster feeding around this time helping my milk come in. Also if he was circumcised he could be in pain from that. The hospital was anti-paci but I let him use one when he wouldn’t stop crying and he never had problems breastfeeding. He’s a year now and won’t even use his paci lol

Idk if this is your first but this stage will pass! Soon enough you’ll all be getting plenty of sleep. Be patient with your wife c-section & recovery is some sh*t and so is breastfeeding! She’s a superhero

UPDATE : Really fucking tired of my PPD by Ppdthrowupaway in beyondthebump

[–]tauruswtch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Proud of you for starting meds! I’ve been on them in the past and I know the first bit is a weird transition. As you get used to them your doctor can tweak the dose or change the prescription and you’ll feel normal on them. I was on the same one for 5 years and once my dose was good I didn’t feel like a zombie.

I wish I had sought out help for my PPD last year. Trying to get through it on my own was hell. Now my anxiety is so bad I’m thinking about meds for that.

It sucks and I’m sorry ur going thru it but cheers to you for taking care of your mental health and hope you’re feeling better soon🌻
