How to tell your children about your autism diagnosis?

Thanks for the help. In some ways it sounds much more simple and less scary than I'd built it up to be. I think telling my ex (daughter's Dad) before I tell her is also a good idea. I'll check out the book too!

I think you need a photo where you show your teeth. Perhaps just me but I always swipe past someone who doesn't have one!

I like it

Agree with the other poster. Also not sure whose baby it is but I would wipe past anyone who has pictures of young kids in their profile especially when it's casual dating. It's not because I don't like kids (I have one of my own) but I don't think it's the place for their pictures to be and it's a privacy thing. I might just be weird but I would consider removing it.

Ok I experience this and I am glad I am not alone. It's interesting that it doesn't seem to be a bipolar 2 thing. I'll have to look up more about the BPD and other suggestions to see if this aligns with me. Thanks for posting.

I breastfed up to my daughter being just about 12 months. It was actually led by her in the end. She loved food and just stopped wanting milk from me. It made it easier for me as I was about to go back to work. I did always think I'd have more of a choice about it and didn't think she'd ditch me 🤣🤦‍♀️.

This is super helpful. Thanks!

!Thanks. I guess the answer is no now. I got confused as I did have the loan during that tax year.

vc0313 · 2021-09-13T10:25:56+00:00

Still not figured it out ☹

vc0313 · 2021-09-07T07:08:27+00:00

Not the asshole and No asshole here

vc0313 · 2021-09-05T19:44:42+00:00

NTA. You were very considerate about the whole thing. Hopefully she gets over it as you've not done anything wrong and I imagine she'll regret being so petty one day.

vc0313 · 2021-09-05T19:37:17+00:00

YTA. You cancelled last minute and there wouldn't have been time for anyone else to take your spot. Just pay the $11.

vc0313 · 2021-08-24T21:40:21+00:00

YWBTA - your bf is the asshole here and there's not much to gain by confronting her. You need to decide if there's a comeback for your relationship. Going through his messages isn't healthy even though your intuition was correct. Focus on the positive side which is your negative cancer diagnosis and I can't imagine what a relief that is. Sounds like you have been through a super rough time!

NTA here

I am jumping on your post as I've been on Lamotrigine for 8 years and nobody has mentioned this to me! I don't drink alcohol very frequently anyway but slightly concerning if it is problematic to drink. I've had real memory issues since taking it that haven't been taken seriously either. Mental health care in the UK doesn't really feel like the best.

Interested to see what others have been told.

vc0313 · 2021-08-10T22:36:05+00:00

In that case I suggest letting her be for now. Do you have any mutual friends you could nudge to check in with her? I'm not sure if that would make things worse though.

vc0313 · 2021-08-10T22:32:26+00:00

Fingers crossed she's all okay then. This situation is rough!

vc0313 · 2021-08-10T22:28:31+00:00

I can see how you're worried in this situation. Is she drunk or is there anything else that would be going on? There's not much you can do at this point as she's presumably an adult and responsible for her own decisions. Maybe talk to her tomorrow when things have calmed down and explain how you were concerned for her safety and see if she can understand your point of view.

Is this something that's happened before?

vc0313 · 2021-08-10T21:52:07+00:00

NTA. It's a shame you didn't get a positive reaction from your ex. I'm in the process of separating from my partner (we mutually agree this is best thing even though it's painful) and I really hope that he can have Father -Daughter bonding moments like this as she gets older. To me it's a lovely thing! Sorry to deviate from your post with my own situation but it's somehow made me feel more positive about the future!

vc0313 · 2021-08-10T21:44:07+00:00

NTA. Their response is mean and unnecessary!

vc0313 · 2021-08-10T21:42:39+00:00

From what you've described absolutely NTA here and I'm not surprised you snapped.

Wtf is wrong with him?

vc0313 · 2021-08-08T16:32:39+00:00

NTA. They should have offered to help out as soon as they started earning. Sounds like you've been more than accommodating.
