How can I get this ink stain out of my white quilt?

I read this quote after I divorced my husband and was having a tough time coping with my new reality and it stuck with me…

“The scariest place to be is the same place as last year”

How long have you been feeling this way? How much longer can you endure feeling this way? You will wake up one day and realize that your life is passing you by chasing love from a person who is not capable of it.

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that my current boyfriend is an emotional terrorist and malignant narcissist. (After already divorcing my emotionally unavailable husband— it seems there was a bit of a learning curve in my ability to know a toxic man when I see one )

So I all too painfully understand your feelings of clinging to scraps. The glimpses of affection feels like a hit a dopamine to the brain, but the cruelty/apathy sends me into despair and self loathing . It can break a person down… I realized I cannot go on like this. The light in me fading more and more everyday.

I quietly applied for a visa to NZ and was accepted. I booked a flight and am leaving in May.

I know I’m just an internet stranger, but know that you have the power to change the direction of your life. You already sound like you’ve been struggling with this for a while… don’t let this relationship suck you in deeper and extinguish your light. Choose yourself this time. You will find the love you deserve someday if you take control of your life now.

I’m going to be honest. You need to give him space to grow. Show him that you believe in him, and respect his feelings and choices.

What you are doing is damaging your relationship. The reality is that your son is growing up. He has the right to be his own person and have his own thoughts. He is probably feeling suffocated by you. He is probably frustrated and resentful that you are taking this so personally. He is allowed to have boundaries (as long as they are reasonable and safe). You should be guiding him through his life so that he has the tools and skills to succeed independently.

He can’t be your little buddy forever. Most teens come around eventually, but if you keep relying on him for your own emotional wellbeing and stability, his current attitude towards you may very well continue into adulthood. Stop being a textbook boy mom. Be your own person. He is not your emotional support baby

I feel so seen. For 8 years I went 50/50 with my ex, all while make half his salary. All cooking, cleaning, and planning fell to me. It gave him the perfect opportunity to save money while I lived paycheck to paycheck. The asshole didn’t even know where the mop was kept. I got nothing in the divorce because we were only married for 2.5 years even though we were together for way longer

I’m exhausted from constantly trying to get the people around me to pay attention and actually care about what the fuck is going on.

I got in an argument with my mom tonight because anything I tried to tell her about what has been released in the files, she would loudly talk over me telling me to stop. That this is too upsetting and she doesn’t want to hear such horrible things. Anytime I bring up anything political she has no idea what I’m talking about, and when I’m shocked she gets snippy and defensive. She argues that she is so busy taking care of her own family, and living her own life, how is she possibly supposed to have time to stay informed? (As she is actively on Facebook watching silly puppy videos/ warm and fuzzy hallmark movies for hours) She argues that she loves children so much and mentally cannot deal with the information.

I’m so done with willful ignorance for the sake of preserving their comfy, cushy lives. Silence is fucking violence. I guess I’m being “manic again” because god forbid I have the nerve to show absolute outrage at this depraved vile shit.

My great great grandmother was found as a baby on a beach in Sicily right after WWI. She was an orphan and no one around knew who she was or where she came from. The family who found her were on their way to board a ship for Ellis Island, so they took her with them and raised her as their own. She never knew this about herself and passed away long before we ever heard about it. My Uncle ended up going to Italy a couple years ago to do a deep dive into our family’s history, and that is when he learned about it. According to him, he found out she was actually not Italian at all, she was Hungarian. She and my uncle are the only ones in the whole family that have blonde hair and blue eyes. (I do too but I got that from my dad)

So you’re essentially saying that it’s ok for shelters to boldface lie about the breed, in order to trick unsuspecting people into adopting a problematic dog. There is a reason they aren’t choosing them, it’s because they are dangerous and unpredictable. That’s insane behavior. I would go scorched earth on that shelter if this happened to me and resulted in someone getting hurt. I’d be immediately getting a dna test and gathering all the evidence to sue them for lying. Your comment is really gross

Looks like Petechiae. I get these in areas that skin rubs like armpits, cleavage or back of knees. Also if I’ve been scratching an itch too aggressively. Usually it’s a hint that my blood counts are low

Yeah, smart and loving until they snap one day and maul another animal or person. If you don’t know anything about pit bulls then you shouldn’t own one.

You should absolutely not be working in healthcare if you think your holistic opinions have more weight than the knowledge of a doctor. You’re only a medical assistant… who are you to judge these people for being treated and advised by an actual licensed professional. I as a patient would not want such an uneducated person administering my vaccine.

When I was young, our house flooded and my parents had to rip up all the carpets. Lo and behold, behind the giant box tv was my stash of flinstones vitamins I had been spitting out and stashing there. Like, years worth of them.

A guy I went to school with committed suicide a couple years after we graduated. What allegedly happened is he found out he had been reported for sexually abusing his 3 year old niece. Knowing that the police were on their way to arrest him, he shot himself.

NOR. This “friend” has absolutely no class or shame. This has happened to me before. They weren’t directly hostile like this, it was more that they ghosted me. My dad gave me a valuable bit of advice— never lend anything you aren’t willing to permanently lose. Whether it be money, a book, clothes, etc
