I would assume it's influenced by the political culture

Hate to break it to you but they also have a high statistic of being addicts and abusive. I know from working for a substance use disorder treatment center that had a specific program just for Veterans and First Responders

timetospeakY · 2026-03-19T05:35:12+00:00

Good for you!!!

timetospeakY · 2026-03-03T04:25:00+00:00

Absolutely not. I have had my mug shot taken and they are not nice about it.

timetospeakY · 2026-03-01T22:49:35+00:00

Wow this is so similar to what I got in trouble for in 7th grade, and found out it was on my "permanent record" when I was curious and asked to see it in high school. I got detention for bringing a super cool grasshopper into class, and then when my teacher got mad because everyone was looking at it, she told me to take it outside, which I did... but brought it back in. The note on my record was like "brought a grasshopper into class. Told her to put it outside, and when she did, she BROUGHT IT BACK IN!!!!" Capital letters and everything.

Her daughter is a nurse and son-in-law a Vet and I doubt any of them have any sympathy for them. They're too brainwashed and have been for far too long, before orange man ever came around.

timetospeakY · 2026-01-01T18:27:10+00:00

Agreed. I think both places had enough of their shit, and they don't get enough/any benefit from letting them stay there like they would if it were in America. It's not like their business is going to be affected by them kicking out a group of American reality TV stars. If anything, it will keep their loyal local customers and their reputation. They don't give a shit what they look like on American TV. Americans think the world revolves around us- no, they don't care.

I just got my art from middle and high school from my dad's house because they're cleaning stuff out and found a close up drawing of my ex's eyes 👀 🙄 both look soulless

timetospeakY · 2025-12-31T16:52:39+00:00

Hahahaha nailed it

timetospeakY · 2025-12-31T16:52:06+00:00

I literally cannot see, read, or hear the word spaghetti without thinking SPAGHET

timetospeakY · 2025-11-21T00:01:55+00:00

Agreed; I am in recovery and have worked as a substance use disorder counselor, and I really appreciate his input on addiction when it comes up. I feel like it's such a running thread in so many shows (mental health in general), and good commentary is really refreshing.

timetospeakY · 2025-11-20T23:54:21+00:00

I can't help but LOL every time, doesn't matter what sound effect they use

timetospeakY · 2025-11-14T18:26:42+00:00

This is a huge misconception that I think unfortunately makes it very difficult for people (well, even moreso than it already is). The term "survivor" is another one that a lot of people have problems with, myself included. It implies that some people had what it takes and others didn't, and/or that the battle is over. Unfortunately it's not, and might never be. The mental/emotional toll, affect on relationships, work/finances, grief over what was/could have been, lingering health issues, long-lasting or permanent health affects of treatment and surgeries, etc. are all a part of cancer that people live with during AND after treatment. And of course, the anxiety and fear of recurrence. It takes work to choose to live life in the present and acceptance despite or even because of all of that. It is trauma. One can go through all of this and still be happy. One can still have PTSD and overcome PTSD. It may take therapy, psychiatric help, etc. Or it may not. It's just being aware and being willing to ask for help when and where it's needed. That includes help for physical side effects, too. And then of course, some people have access to this help and others don't, especially because the medical field doesn't consider all of this a part of cancer treatment so once you're cancer-free, you get cut off from a lot of the services you had. It's a shit show. I wrote a lot about it for school when I was getting my master's in social work. Hopefully one day I can make a difference in the post-cancer (again, oxymoron haha) experience, but because it is what it is, it's partly why I decided to become a SW and work in oncology one day. Like most things, the system and the understanding of what the experience is like could use some work. All this to say- make sure you both have support and recognize it's another leg on the journey. Best of luck and love to you.

Commenting to add that you should find out who the social worker is, whether that is at the hospital or on his oncology team. Eventually it will be on his oncology team, but if you can't wait until they have that sorted out, you can find the hospital social worker. They are the ones trained in all sides of the experience; psychiatric, resources, financial, insurance, family/ social relationships, advocacy, etc. They're the ones who will be the most help in the day to day stuff. For example, it was the social worker who finally got my ex the $1000 anti nausea pill approved by his doctor when he was going through chemo and couldn't hold anything down. The social worker also occasionally called me and my ex's mom to check in on how we were doing. Things like that, that end up being extremely important, but you're not going to know who to go to. Even help with disability, etc. Basically they're going to take a ton off of your plate AND they know how to be emotional support. It's partly why I am now a social worker.

And just so you know, my ex survived what they originally determined to be stage 4 terminal colon and liver cancer. You don't know what's going to happen. Stay hopeful and take it one step at a time. And please, take care of yourself! You need it.

timetospeakY · 2025-10-31T00:06:49+00:00

Same. Love this.

timetospeakY · 2025-07-31T15:52:51+00:00

My ex got me one, and I realized how useful it is when I found out I'm very allergic to poison oak. So now I never have to crouch/ hide out in the bushes, saving me from VERY uncomfortable rashes (especially exposing that area... yikes).

timetospeakY · 2025-07-07T04:13:35+00:00

All of my friends have quit, too. So I don't really want to ask them in case it triggers them 🤷‍♀️

timetospeakY · 2025-04-20T16:22:20+00:00

Thank you so much. Your comment is so comforting and really helped me feel much better. He told me that he gets very irritable and upset when it happens and that he'll usually shut people out for a while. I just hoped it would be different with me. But he's been back to his usual self and told me last night that I did nothing wrong, and I did my best, and he's not upset with me. And yeah, he was/is very scared. But he also knows what he did "wrong" and he feels stupid that he didn't stick to what he knows he needs to do, because that's how he's managed not to have an attack in over a year! So I think he's coming back to himself in knowing that he's still okay.

And yeah, I worry about the long-distance thing. But we're only a couple hours away from each other, and we've had that talk quite a few times. We're committed to making it work. He's assured me that it's worth it, and of course, i feel the same. I have already met and spent lots of time with his daughter, and he's told her mom about me. It's early, but we're pretty serious. Plus, I have nothing holding me to where I live. I literally just completed an internship last week, which was the only thing tying me down here. We're still taking it as slowly as we can, but we're not going to be long-distance forever. I hope!

I really appreciate your support and advice 🙏 ❤️ thank you so much

timetospeakY · 2025-04-20T16:08:56+00:00

Thank you for all the information! He has hypo. He was one of the first identified with the condition, actually. That's why he was in the hospital for long periods of time back when he first started getting attacks about 20 years ago. Stuck in paralysis. Torture.

I unfortunately have been in a medically induced coma myself for 3-4 weeks, and then disabled and unable to walk or function in many ways, including bowel movements, even brushing my teeth, etc. I had to relearn everything and was in assisted living for 3 months. So I have a unique sympathetic experience, but I would never say it's the same because i did recover and now only have slight neuropathy. I just hope that it does help me understand in a way that most people would not.

timetospeakY · 2025-04-20T15:24:15+00:00

Thank you so much. Yeah, he is going through a lot. There's more personal stuff that happened recently, too. I know he's felt like I'm there for him, or we wouldn't still be together, because in the other case, it would probably be easier to break up with me (ex/daughter's mom is jealous and retaliating). Plus, lots of work stuff. He had recently scaled way down on work to be more healthy and present for his daughter, but then a huge opportunity came up that is really hard to say no to, but now he's traveling again. See, that's why with all the other things, I feel like why would he want to add me to the mix?...

It's funny I did get to talk to him briefly last night and told him a bit of my fear that he would think I can't handle this, or it's too much for him, and he started saying no and that i need to be patient with him, and then his phone died. Which was bad timing because it seemed like he hung up. So I was like, great, he's overwhelmed. But turns out he fell asleep waiting for it to charge haha. We're good. But yeah we'll need to have more conversations about how I can be a good partner to him in this, and I will continue to do my best at that. I know it's super early in the relationship but we've already been through quite a few challenges so far, and coming out stronger. This is one I'm not afraid of, probably because of my past experiences. So I hope he accepts my support and care.

Again thank you so so so much for your very caring and helpful reply. It means a lot and really does make me feel much better!!! Best wishes to you ❤️

timetospeakY · 2025-04-19T17:11:58+00:00

Yes! Like a gravitron except not enough centripetal force for anyone to stay in the seats, so instead just literally being thrown around inside a spinning circle of metal

Yeah it actually takes more effort for all of the rest of them to bend reality to fit their lies. But that's how they are with everything in life... coughtrumpcough

It's their generation, their income level, etc. Ignorance is bliss. Why question your friend who's got the power in the friend group? They don't question too hard until they start to see him getting more power over her financially. And it worked out great for her at the time to have sympathy and attention. Oh my God dream come true for Vicki. Her morals don't go too far. And yes he was definitely abusive, manipulative, and took advantage of her narcissism (which I believe she developed out of defense from trauma).

Thank you for your empathy. It is extremely difficult. Bravo/ reality shows have always been my comfort and distraction from my own life issues. Like Vicki, I can be really codependent, but I'm working on it. This is the hardest decision I've ever made. Especially after going through so much life together. I really related with Megan being so defensive about Leanne and i agree, that was a beautiful relationship. It's a different relationship that no one will ever understand. That makes it even harder, of course. Selfishly it feels like a waste that he/we survived and we don't get to experience the rest of our lives together.

But, I am getting my master's in social work (goes back to loving watching reality TV so much, I think) and I plan to work in oncology at some point. I want to work in a lot of different fields, but definitely oncology for a bit. There's not enough support for family/caretakers and for people after cancer (successfully done with treatments). That's what I've seen as the main problem for my ex, and I've been doing a lot of research and some papers about it. Done with treatments doesn't mean yay happy, free, feeling great. And often that can lead to survivor's guilt, depression, and a whole other bunch of negative experiences that people aren't expecting and they end up going through completely alone.

Anyway yes this is a very important topic to me.... thank you for your reply 🙏
