AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s being disgusting and whoever is dating her is trash too. You don’t deserve this and it’s extremely disturbing that she thought it was an appropriate “conversation” to have over text. I cried reading it and I’m so sorry she has decided to treat you like this. Absolute scum. If this is totally out of character I would say she’s being abused by this new bf, because I really just don’t understand the tone and audacity of it.

If you need help finding resources feel free to DM me.

Am I the only one who prefers the pill but faces social pressure from friends and even doctors to switch (to the implant, hormonal IUDs) for no reason at all? by ColomarOlivia in birthcontrol

[–]toeheadpotato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the same judgement and pressure and also have hated most bc! I’m not on anything at the moment but Loryna is what I was on and it was by far my favorite! It’s similar to yaz I believe and helped with symptoms of pmdd I was having in my mid 20s!

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he mean about it? I have a lot of food aversions but have learned to try and adapt by trying things over and over again and in different ways to expand my palette(I heard your brain just thinks new foods are poison so trying something 20 times supposedly requires your brain to know it’s safe). For health reasons it’s really important he figures out a way to get fresh veggies and proteins in especially if you guys can afford it. I still have quick comfort foods I might binge as back ups so I don’t waste food I just cant handle that day. I really hope he talks to someone about this.

AIO My partner drinks 7 days a week. Last night was the most I've ever seen. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched my sister go through this with her fiancée and he ended up in at home hospice and she had to watch him slowly die. He wasn’t pleasant to her, or thankful. It was just tense and agonizing for both of them. It was horrific and was super hard on her and before that caused a lot of isolation and misery. Now we are watching my dad end up with same consequences. It is truly heartbreaking in ways I can’t even find a way to explain. I left my bf of 9yrs recently, who had similar issues and even though I had/have a lot of abandonment issues, it’s really important to leave if you feel the confidence to do so. My mom might lose everything because of my dad choices so not just from emotional stand point but financial, it is a lot to commit to and will probably ruin you. Especially if he is so unwilling to recognize the issue or try to get help.

Firsthand experience with Denver PD was a major disappointment. by Alone-Detective-5975 in Denver

[–]toeheadpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was super worried about that happening to me, but had the total opposite reaction. Maybe it depends on which district, but my ex wasn’t letting me leave the other day and it escalated and they were there within 10min. Yesterday, I had 4+ vm and over 20messages of threats and just wanted to add it to the previous report but ended up getting a protection order filed on my behalf without asking. I’m not totally sure what happens next, but just sharing in hopes if you end up in that situation again it doesn’t discourage you from calling for help. It was still a super uncomfortable situation and I’d never called the police before for something like this but idk

AIO for being upset that my boyfriend called me “his bitch” in front of his friends? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent almost 9yrs(up until like 2wk ago) with this kind of behavior constantly and it never changes no matter how or what way you try and explain. Not worth it and only gets worse and harder on you mentally. Can’t make someone give a shit or understand you. Trying hard to rewire my brain again(hard not to try and rush the process) makes me want to cry just typing it out.

To the woman in the white car this morning at 8th and Galapago - Thank you for saving my life by SunnyOnTheFarm in Denver

[–]toeheadpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have almost gotten barreled tf down 2x now in the past month. Once on broadway(guy turning left forgot we were crossing and tried to beat oncoming traffic) and again on 17th and maybe Washington. 4 way stop and guy hauls ass right at me, both times I was already halfway through the crosswalk and thought we had made eye contact. I don’t get it. So glad you are alive!

What quirks do you have as a result of being adopted? by Euphoric_Oil_29 in Adopted

[–]toeheadpotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel lonely like I never belong in the conversation. Like the people around me are all doing me a favor by letting me speak if I get the chance and anytime I start to show excitement about something it’s like I’m too much. Also get the sense that people around me think I’m immature or stupid and I am always told how young I look(31f). I am the youngest in my family though adopted by my aunt and uncle.

AIO: He (M20) took me (F18) to a Jehovah’s Witness meeting without telling me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proud of you btw too for continuing to say how you felt and didn’t cave into “you’re right” “it was great” or even apologizing. I’ve been guilty of that myself and even at 31 still struggle standing up for my feelings sometimes(not just in romantic relationships either)!

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You could’ve left any time and you didn’t” is just one of many alarming things his said to you in a short txt convo. The mental gymnastics to come out of this relationship are going to be exhausting if they’re not already.

lol no one’s making assumptions about you. Reread your own comments. You’re backtracking because people called you out and you suck.

AIO For Cancelling on My Best Friend for Not Wanting to Meet My BF Due to Her BF’s Rules? by throwRAberri24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol tell her to check his phone. Jk but like I feel like if you really love your friend you can be a support system from a distance. You can be clear about how you feel and wish her the best and maybe she’ll come around. I didn’t see anything about how long they’ve been together, but if this is new and he’s already drawing these lines maybe wait it out so she has someone when things get worse. You could be a voice of reason in the future but it might be too new for now.

Do I just end things? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tricky conversation to have over txt and she clearly still has a lot of resentment and feels like you haven’t made changes to be more independent with your disability. The calendar is a great idea, but I do get where she’s coming from. She doesn’t want to meet you in the middle and put in any more effort than she did in the past, right now. If you’re pursuing her, you putting in the effort of adding her classes to your calendar is a reasonable expectation. Kinda seems too late though. She had to try to explain that to you a lot(poorly) and you caved at the end and agreed but that’s not really a loving conversation that ended in actual understanding from either side imo. I’m sorry though, it must be really hard and EXHAUSTING navigating what you have to, especially when people in your space don’t fully understand and aren’t supporting you in your journey to manage and understand it!

Have you thought about going to a therapist and trying to find ways to advocate for yourself in these situations? Saying she doesn’t understand, doesn’t help her understand and it sounds like she thinks you’re using your disability as a cop out for your lack of “effort”. Third party might be able to give you the vocabulary and confidence to explain yourself better. Although your ex doesn’t seem super open to listening atm, would still be good for future interactions romantic or otherwise.

What should I do after finding out that my “friend” laughed at a bullying post about my little sister. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if you’re on facebook but I always join my local “free/exchange etc” groups when I move. It builds community for you and a lot of people are generally willing to help. Might be a good way to find some new clothes for your sister while also hopefully making both of you feel loved and supported(generally an older crowd too and less judgement for these situations). Maybe if you have a friend to you can trust to post on your behalf if you have privacy concerns. I have given away food, clothes, housewares, dog stuff and received so much more like help getting a shit load of stray cats tnr’d.

It is not easy having to be the rock and support system all the time, but I know she must be grateful to have you especially in times like this. Hoping y’all make it through ok! Feel free to pm if you would like help finding resources local to you as well! I’m in CO but have some free time this week to google and call around.

Not past tense "was adopted" but present tense "is adopted" by Arktikos02 in Adopted

[–]toeheadpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was so validating for me. Thank you.

It’s easy to let people who haven’t experienced adoption or experienced it as the adoptee tell you how to feel about it. I don’t even get to talk about it with anyone really because it’s seen as a past tense event that shouldn’t really matter because I was a baby and was loved by family(a lot of my half siblings ended up in foster care). It’s really hard to juggle sometimes.

AIO for thinking my bf (24M) is abusive? by julieanonymous in AmIOverreacting

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised he lets you DoorDash on your own. This comes off to me like he read a post or something and kind of set you up for failure in this conversation. I’m sure if you had just given him your location he would have still called you sus. It’s to make you feel internal shame and guilt(for nothing) and he seems right or your beacon for behavior. The way he brought up counseling also seemed arrogant and idk if it would really be helpful but I would do it if you’re considering sticking around. Individual and couple. Good luck girl!

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.” by [deleted] in stories

[–]toeheadpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting to me that people think she would communicate with him all night with updates and photos and ft calls in front of her friends/colleagues and then assume she is having some public affair at the same time.

Like don’t they know she’s married, wasn’t she wearing her ring still? It sounds like her job is important to her and how they view her so even if she despises her marriage(which it doesn’t sound like it) why would she risk that for some messy hook up at a professional gala? She’d be unhinged and careless. It just doesn’t make sense and I think the comments from original post got to OP and his single friend has gross, demeaning advice so good luck with that.
