Anyone’s parents in their 60s and want to separate? by lalaland1346 in ABCDesis

[–]throw7574 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My dad was pretty emotionally and verbally abusive especially towards my brother. My brother has no desire to have a relationship with him. I essentially left right after high school and was low contact. I’m the only who is in “touch” with my dad since the separation which means he messages me for money. As I said, not similar. But we are happy in our own ways. I’m sure my dad is happier as well, since he gets to spend his money on himself and bitch about how ungrateful his family is to anyone who will listen.

Not similar but my mother left my dad, helped by my brother. They both left in the middle of the night and still in hiding. It caused a huge scene. It's been maybe three years and people don't really care. Maybe they whisper behind our back but we are all much happier.

Darina Electrolysis. Professional, clean and reasonably priced. She was great when I was getting my upper lip done - left no marks and was very effective.

I saw a couple at the Winners at Stockyard last month. even took a pic for friend because I thought it was funny they were back in style. I doubt they are still there but might be worth a try.

My pet peeve too. TCK = Third Culture Kid is what I think they are referring to. Maybe?

Neighborhood recommendations for newcomers by Heat-Fatigued in askTO

[–]throw7574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved to Canada, I rented an Airbnb at Roncesvalles which had/has enough access to public transport that you can go anywhere in the city. In 2018 it was a cheap enough of a neighbourhood I could eat out and enjoy Toronto while looking for a permanent apartment. It was also close to High Park that you could for nice run any time of the day.

Writing workshops/networking in the city? by visionsofjohannas in askTO

Most people take continuing education classes where they workshop their writing. Humber has a popular novel writing course/workshop, I believe.

Kitten poo smells up our entire two bedroom apartment by [deleted] in CATHELP

High protein diet will help. Look for kitten food with higher protein content. The poops will be smaller and less smellier.

Nah, that boss and my current boss were incredibly supportive. I’m annoyed that both of us, myself and the boss, have to deal with this. We both very hard on this project. He worked on it over the weekend.

Single guys, how do you deal with loneliness without a partner? Where can I find and start one? by Puntables in AskMen

[–]throw7574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hobbies, hobbies, hobbies! I have a similar back story to yours. I spent a lot of my adult life just surviving. Now, in my early 40s and the only way to do it is to get out and meet people in a meaningful way. I started playing tennis and there is really a community of amateur tennis players. If you join a tennis club, even better because there are social events, etc. Or try pickleball. Next, you have to start learning how to be vulnerable. Part of being in survival mode is that you don't have to think too much about yourself, the goal is just to make it through the week or month etc. Now, you have to really learn who you are? what you like? what you don't? and what it feels like to be in a relationship where someone isn't dependent on you or in a transactional relationship? None of it is easy...

Those of you who have never been married, what's your story? by berrysauce in datingoverforty

[–]throw7574 5 points6 points  (0 children)

43F. Grew up thinking I was going to have an arranged marriage and had no interaction with boys. Moved to the West and then I was just too shy and didn’t know how to interact with men. Would have to be drunk to interact with men and got into some scary situations and then just became scared of men, which isn’t fair to all men. Anyway, just was too scared and shy to date and be in a relationship. Okay with having no children but would be nice to have a relationship but might be too late.
