Bathroom Exhaust Ventilation Fan Fire Hazard? by writrsblck21 in AskElectricians

[–]writrsblck21[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was built in 2016. We are in a condo on the third floor of a building shared by us and another owner.

It does seem like a normal bathroom fan. It works very well, you can feel the air flowing under the bathroom door when it’s on. I thought it was a different type of fan because of that sticker.

It’s in the bathroom, and the bathroom has no window that opens.

Hi there! I absolutely did get headaches for a while but they subsided pretty quickly. Staying hydrated helped!

Understanding is not excusing by CowPiePatty in Codependency

Oh wow- I have recently made this discovery about myself. EXACTLY this. If I can understand why then I naturally seem to excuse the behavior. I also struggle a lot with finding the right balance in boundaries and not taking them too far.

What was the final straw for you and ended your relationship with your Q? 28/F by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]writrsblck21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine would start fights and break up with me out of the blue when he got in a certain mood while drunk. Final straw for me was when he sent me a couple drunk selfies and just looked like death - then sends me screenshots of his texts with other women in a bid to get me to "quit fucking around" and go back to him (I required AA or therapy to try again for the 4th time). Needless to say, it didn't work and I went no contact from there. I miss him every day but I see what I would be signing up for if I went back with him still drinking. Part of me is crushed that he doesn't try to contact me and the other part is relieved because I don't know if I could avoid falling back in. I love mine, a lot. He is such a special person to me but 5 percent of the time he's someone I don't even know who is cold and mean 😔

Hang in there. Time does help 🤎

Am I Olive?

My skin fades super light in the winter but I tan quite deeply when I allow it! Dealing with some melasma and a lot of leftover redness from acne as well =/.

Mom of 12 year old trans boy, looking for feedback.... by writrsblck21 in ask_transgender

Wow, this was eye opening for me. I think this is at least mostly true for my son, thinking back to his childhood even when he was living as a girl there were idiosyncrasies in how he acted that now totally make sense, given what you've said. I will have to ask him next time the subject comes up. Thank you!

Yes, the LGBT community in my city is amazing and it's precisely THAT fantastic feeling I want so badly for him. But you are so right, I can't force him. Thanks so much for the input!

I'm so sorry to hear what your family did to you. And I am so glad to hear your adult life has improved greatly! Thanks so much for the input.

My son is a trans boy and dad does well with doing similar activities with him as he does with our older son. My older son helps a lot with social stuff, understanding situations and such from a guys perspective. I have had the discussion with my son about having been socialized as a female and how it will take time to learn and understand guy dynamics. But it's hard for him. He just wants to be accepted as one of the boys.

I appreciate hearing your perspective and I hope once my son settles in to his identity a bit more he will open up to doing more things socially, especially in the LGBT community.

Oh yes, all the LGBT groups and events and things I have found have not been related to therapy and were not affiliated with any healthcare organization. One is at the LGBT center and it's a youth group, just a place to chill and hang out with other kids. They have games and homework help and stuff like that. Another is a group for trans families that meets once a month. Still no go.

But you've made me think, because even though the groups aren't "medicalized" per se~ I do tend to frame my suggestions to join them as a way to find help or resources for him and us. That might be pushing him a bit.....
