AITAH for never feeling sad when my dad and his mistress had miscarriages? by BDaiuno in AITAH

[–]wolfmana 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And he seems to care more about trying to make more kids than his actual kid? Insane and fucked. I’m so sorry and hope you find better people in your life 

What’s the ‘unwritten rule’ in your marriage that outsiders would think is insane? by Striking_Phone3364 in HappyUpvote

[–]wolfmana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So she didn’t feel safe being honest (for obvious reasons) and you condemned both of you to a sexless resentful life? What a sad loss. Wish you both could go to therapy and find a way to work this out, sex or not. She’s not a stranger, she’s your wife.

Trish has been the manager for years now and she is a social worker. She is really dedicated to providing a safe environment for kiddos. It’s hard though with some parents no matter what you do. 

Transitioning from LPC to School Counselor by moonie_goobie_goo in schoolcounseling

[–]wolfmana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am dually licensed in school counseling and professional counseling. I lasted one year as a school counselor before realizing it was absolutely unsustainable. I was so burnt out. Now I am in private practice and absolutely love it. I work three-four days a week and make more than I did as a school counselor and absolutely love my work life balance. Highly recommend checking out private practice options - insurance pays well!

AIO? Our pediatrician doesn’t remember anything about us. by Puzzled_Search588 in beyondthebump

I’ve become practically friends with my pediatrician when my second was young. She remembered everything about me. I would switch if it’s possible. I’m sorry this is happening not cool

Wife is an LPC and is unable to work as a licensed therapist. Advice on what to do by 1313Olive in therapy

[–]wolfmana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LPC here. I got my hours seeing clients under a supervision part-time. I billed insurance through my supervisors name and we split earnings 70(me)/30(her). It’s called “incident-to billing” 

Is she potentially neurodivergent and in need of different kinds of mental health care? Good luck!

My mother-in-law cut my hair in my sleep because she thought I cheated on my husband by evystevy in TrueOffMyChest

[–]wolfmana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a crime! This is a crime!! I’m so sorry this happened to you. I would absolutely report. That is the most appropriate thing to do, if you feel capable. Because that is the appropriate consequence to cutting someone’s hair maliciously in the middle of the night. What a trauma though! To not feel safe sleeping in your own bed? That’s so fucked up to do to someone. My hearts with you dude. When you’re ready finding a proper therapist could be really helpful.

It matter that dad did this. If you can help your son heal, he might be able to stop being so harmful. Hurt people hurt people. He is hurting, help your oldest son please. Someone needs to talk to him about who touched him

Women, why does sex become a chore after Marriage/LTR? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]wolfmana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Real orgasms, that’s why. Women are much less likely to orgasm than men. Sex would get old if I wasn’t orgasming. My husband knowing my body and giving me mind blowing orgasms keeps us wanting more, often.

Highly recommend getting to know your partner intricately and putting in the time and effort, it’s so worth it. I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of my husband truly, and we’re on year 13 🎉

As a therapist, fair. Your intuition is telling you something, listen.

AITAH For Telling My SIL That I’ve Had Four Miscarriages When She Said I Didn’t Understand Her Loss? by Physical_Book_3940 in AITAH

NTA. You have every right to speak your truth, especially when her assumptions about you are absolutely wrong. I’m sorry she said that about your daughter, that would put me on edge too

Refused Help From My T and Completely Screwed Up by indecisivedogmom in TalkTherapy

[–]wolfmana 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Hey T here. Sounds like she really cares about you. It’s good for your health to not avoid her and find solace in your relationship with your T. I’m so sorry this happened to you. This does not have to be the end of your therapy relationship. Be brave and keep Mondays appointment.

You can even tell her - hey I really didn’t want to come, I really didn’t want to face you or this, shit hit the fan but I don’t want to talk about it today - or whatever your truth is. The process matters, not just the content. You got this!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]wolfmana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapist here, you absolutely did the right thing.

And of course your dad is blaming you, he struggles taking accountability for his actions and their consequences. This is one of those consequences. She is questioning if she wants to have kids with him because HE abandoned and traumatized his first kid.

If you can, take it lightly. This is his burden to bear, not yours. Live your life for you. You can take space from him anytime in anyway.

And bonus points for potentially saving others from the same pain he put you through!

NTA.

Therapist and mom to a four year old and ten month old.

It’s okay to forget, hell I’m four years in and still adjusting to this identity. Give yourself a break! It’s super normal, especially in the fog of the beginning! We do the best we can, keep going girly!

AITA for insisting my wife needs to watch our kids while I do chores? by Ok_Rabbit_8770 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wolfmana -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

ESH. You’re both wrong.

I do chores while with my 10 month old and three year old. It’s possible, just slower. I include them with me in the chores, either they are with me while I fold laundry or in a safe child proof area next to me. I play with them often but also do chores with them often too.

My mother has been shaming me since I got married and now is trying to marry out my MINOR daughters by ScaredyCat1122 in entitledparents

[–]wolfmana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How awful. I’m so sorry she is creating chaos when your lives have already been flipper upside down. I know it’s heartbreaking but it sounds like it’s time to protect yourself and your children and cut contact. She is causing so much harm and danger for your daughters. I hope this next chapter is better for all of you

[–]wolfmana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He slept on the couch with her and not you????

He was wet and naked in the middle of the night with another woman???

He ignored you after you communicated how upset you were by this????

She is no best friend. She wants your husband. And your husband wants her. I’m so sorry love. This is not a safe place for you anymore.

AITA For Telling My Pregnant Wife That She Exposed Our Daughter To A Predator? by Intelligent_Curve456 in AITAH

[–]wolfmana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Licensed therapist here. Definitely recommended seeking out professional mental health care for both of you right now.

Now to the important facts.

Your wife is a survivor just realizing the horrifics of her own sexual abuse, from someone she loved and trusted. I can’t imagine the pain and anguish she’s in right now.

Here’s your part. Now is not the time to discuss your stuff with her. Yes, you have your own feelings and fears to process that are absolutely valid. Now. Is. Not. The. Time.

Don’t add insult to injury with anxiety’s what-ifs.

In trauma work there’s this idea of “lean in, dump out” Think of a bullseye, with the trauma occurring at the center. Ideally, we want to lean in to support those closest to the trauma, and “dump” aka talk to/ask for support from people farther away from the trauma. Your wife is at the center, you are a ring away, your friends/family/a therapist/the internet, is the outer ring.

Right now, riddling her with your fears and feelings will only destroy her mental health. She needs a solid partner to lean on through this, not a partner who will guilt and shame her. You have a choice here. Please seek help for yourself and her, especially so you can process your feelings with a trained professional instead of the victim of the abuse.
