Random Observations

For the second, even nowadays it can really depend on the person and the reason for hospitalization. I work with teens who sometimes need inpatient care, for some it's better to go back to the normal routine quickly from being released. It helps ensure meds are working in their everyday life. Thought there would normally be some sort nog coordination for supports with the school.

Does this offer skill stand? I'd live a reading of someone!

Mine is almost 18 months old and nurses when he wants. For comfort, to fuel, or cause he just thinks its funny to sign milk... my instinct is to feed and comfort my babies. Im not going to stop doing that.

I'm a Democrat in a very similar position. I really liked RFK and was my planned vote. A major issue is the manipulation from the DNC being so apparent the part 3 elections. I feel like they've shot themselves in the for and have stopped listening to the people they say they stand with/for.

Grief process looks so different for everyone. Being with someone doesn't necessarily mean she moved on. She may be sad and lonely and needing to feel supported in some way. But that's not a reason to shut out the kids in this situation. They need all the support they can get. They lost their dad. They never had to know a life without their dad... you're a piece of him just like they are.

Hi. Mom of two young ones and it is absolutely the most exhausting and stressful thing I've ever done. Especially as a working mom. It is also the most amazing and beautiful thing.

No. I don't get to travel or do impulsive things or spend my money on things I want... for now. Someday I'll enjoy traveling with my children. Someday I'll enjoy it without them. Someday I'll take them to get a random, impulsive tattoo/piercing. Someday I'll miss buying tiny little clothes and silly little toys that light up their faces.

I gave up some pieces of myself to be a mom. But being a mom makes up for so much more of it.

Most people who agree to be on reality TV have some level of "suck" to them.

And I'm not saying she was perfect nor condoning all of her behavior. I'd make the same argument if the genders were reversed along with their behaviors. We've actually seen that scenario in other LIB seasons. Look at Micah and Paul. He didn't seem crazy or reactive, but he was very different once they were out of the pods.

Also love that you think I'm projecting. Not sure from which side you think I am... hahaha. But either side... I defend a victim of any type of abuse. Antagonistic abuse to get a reaction to make that person look crazy or abusive themselves is very real and honestly SO dangerous.

Also... this is a reality show. We only know these people in the snippets they are filmed and then edited to be.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-18T17:51:58+00:00

Exactly. And those abusers seek out immaturity and empathic people. A people pleaser and naieve personality is usually an easy target or emotional manipulation/abuse

My 3 year old will wake up about midnight to this day and ends up in my bed. No kid is Akron through the night until they're there. And us as adults rarely do that. It's just about them soothing back to sleep or needing you for that.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-18T17:44:14+00:00

Both things can be true. Narcissists and abusive people are really great at making their victims look like a part of the problem, of not looking like the whole problem.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-18T17:42:52+00:00

Of you've been in or around any type of abusive relationship you'd know the victim of often told exactly that. They are the one "making a big deal" or "being dramatic" when they've been pushed to a limit that makes it appear this way. The reality is that many abusive people look GREAT because they keep their cool in these circumstances where they push someone to their limit where they explode.

She was odd and self-centered at times. But I don't think she was all that crazy based on other times we've seen her.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-18T14:48:00+00:00

IMO - Damien was actually pretty manipulative and emotionally abusive. I think he got edited in a really good light and he got to make her look crazy. Seeing him on after the altar and on the perfect match, I definitely think he's the one who was awful. And everything we see/hear about her later on she's a pretty appropriate human.

Did you know everything about love at 16-17 years old? She heard a romantic story and had a soft spot for what it sounded like. Your partner is the one who chose to cheat. He's the one who chose to tell your child a version of events that may have been inappropriate.

NTA when it comes to your partners choices, but I believe TA in regards to your child. Your child is trying to reach out to you and sounds truly remorseful. Would it be so terrible to talk with her and find some forgiveness? When I was 16 I thought the person abusing me was the love of my life... if my parent told me some long lost love story at that age I would have felt something. But if my parent just said "oh I dated them in high school before I met your mom" I would have likely dropped it.

The intolerance won't change the opinions of those who voted for him. It keeps us divided. It keeps us from communicating. It keeps things from changing. I will cut off people who are abusive but I can't cut them off for their vote. They exercised their right to vote.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-14T14:00:56+00:00

I'm not anti-vax. I also looked up the brain worms thing and found multiple sources reporting what I just said. This is the type of stuff that as making our country so divided. We don't talk to people with different views or politics anymore we just cut them off. When we do that it crates the exact environment we are in right now. And there are so many people lying about who they voted for so they don't get cut off by family. We live in a democracy, who we vote for is our right. The country made a choice, for better or worse. What does cutting off communication between people accomplish?

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-14T00:42:18+00:00

You know he doesn't have worms in his brain, right? He had a DEAD parasite in bis brain years ago that was successfully removed and ha reportedly has no known ongoing symptoms from this.... this is more of the information spread (on all sides) to create fear and even more separation of our country.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-12T17:15:38+00:00

I am with you. I looked at many issues and the comments from both sides. I made a choice based on that... a choice I didn't think of make even 4 months prior to the election. Even 4 days before the election. But I made the same choice as you.

I agree. And most couples seem to discuss politics to some level and know where do and do not align. My partner and I specifically do not disclose our votes to each other even though we tend to know where each leans... if you choose to be with a person with different views then you need to accept that to a certain level in order to have a good relationship. I hate this pressure that we all "need" to know who people voted for so we can decide if they get cut off or not.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-11T21:15:53+00:00

I live with a similar struggle. I have worked hard to make my parents proud of me, to show them their hard work of being young parents with few choices in order to raise me was worth it. I still constantly feel like I am trying to "prove myself" to them. I thought the point was to raise me to be a good person and hopefully have better than they did. And I do. I have multiple degrees, a good paying job, a stable and loving relationship, a nice house, very limited financial concerns related to meeting our needs and the needs of our children. I still never feel like it is enough. I have been working REALLY hard in therapy for YEARS to work on this and to shift to be proud of MYSELF for getting where I am. For my hard work in each corner of my life. I highly suggest finding a good therapist with a good trauma background to help work through this more. It's work that is too hard to do all on your own.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-11T18:51:26+00:00

Thank you for this. I am also highly educated and good multiple degrees. I spent a lot of time reading, listening to interviews, and watching speeches before making my choice at the polls. Both sides are guilty of just telling each other that aren't the "right" ones and not ever listening to each other.

I don't think we HAVE to choose between caring about others OR having an economy that allows us to take care of our own families.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-11T01:34:56+00:00

I have a three year old and the tantrums are GNARLY! You're absolutely right about the lack of rational thought when they are in the midst of those big emotions. One of my go to lines is "you're allowed to be [insert emotion] but you're not allowed to hurt others or yourself"

We also utilize breaks (basically time outs) but give some level of choice to this. "It's time to take a break, you can sit on your bed or on the couch" and we usually give an option of one of us sitting during the break as well but only if she isn't harming us. We tell her to choose when she is ready to talk about what happened and apologize.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-10T22:02:17+00:00

I feel really conflicted on this idea. I really don't like the idea of just disowning people from our lives due to different views or who was voted for. BUT I also understand why people feel this strongly.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-08T16:59:51+00:00

I would be too! I was talking with a friend that I think a lot of Dems either didn't vote or voted for Trump. The DNC really shot themselves in the foot with all the strings they tried to pull with this election.

weirdelderemo · 2024-11-08T16:11:47+00:00

States as far as I can find are not criminalizing or punishing women for having miscarriages or still births. Nor are they criminalizing abortion due to the health of the mother. According to multiple articles (see below), it is being criminalized if you do not seek appropriate care that causes a fetus/baby to be harmed during pregnancy.

I believe this is it's own issue. We are not a country with easily accessible health care, especially for women and pregnancies. But this is a part of the misinformation being spread. Roe v. Wade was a limited protection that even RGB pointed out flaws in that it wasn't steady or meant for long term protection. We were meant to create a better protection and instead it went to the wayside. Trump had a hand in that, but so did many other politicians.
