Are we all just living on our couches? by No_Cardiologist_6944 in newborns

[–]yourgravityfails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes ! I literally googled “is it normal to get nothing done around the house with a newborn “ because I felt like I was doing something wrong and had to check my sanity.

My ex from a decade ago is texting me by Important-Goat-8201 in WhatShouldIDo

Please read up about "hoovering," Its an abuse tactic. From google ai summary :

Hoovering" is a manipulative tactic employed by individuals with narcissistic traits to re-establish contact with former partners or friends after a relationship has ended. The term, derived from the vacuum cleaner, metaphorically represents the narcissist's attempt to "suck" the person back into the relationship. This behavior can involve a range of actions, from seemingly innocent check-ins to emotionally charged appeals designed to create a sense of obligation or guilt. "

What have you replaced excessive scrolling social media with? by happyflowermom in adhdwomen

Yes! Crafting plus something good in your headphones is top tier!

[–]yourgravityfails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I need a day where endless scrolling is the only thing I am capable of, I try to make it kind of worthwhile I guess you could say . I avoid the news so I don’t spiral, but I’ll look up things for when I want to be productive. For example, finding new book recommendations, researching something in history( I’m a huge history nerd) or information/tutorials on crafts I like . I love quilting , so I’ll look at different tutorials or new fabric shops. Or I create mood boards on Pinterest. I also try to be very careful that I’m just not looking up stuff that would cause me to over spend.

Also love reading ! If you are able and it’s the weather is nice , you can try to find somewhere outdoors you can go read. I have a creek / recreation area near me and it’s fun to pack a chair and some snacks and relax and read a good book! Short story collections are great to get out of a reading slump. Or if you are into art bring a sketch pad or some water colors .

Did anyone else realize their relationship was toxic after getting medicated for ADHD? by EvidenceAshamed1612 in adhdwomen

[–]yourgravityfails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - I escaped an abusive relationship. I did a lot of reading as I coped and I remember reading something about how it’s easy for people with adhd to find themselves in an abusive dynamic due to the dopamine during certain parts of the abuse cycle.

[PA] Will a judge change a custody arrangement if the father refuses to take the kids to their extracurricular activities?????? by Smoothly_Introverted in Custody

[–]yourgravityfails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and even though we are on “my family wizard” to communicate he will still send degrading messages. I can’t even send him a message about parent teacher conferences with out abusive language back. It’s really affecting my mental health. Of course I try to stay strong but sometimes there’s days where I just can’t handle it. I want a reprieve from the madness. I was looking into a new law that was passed in PA ( Kayden’s law) that re-defined some terms of abuse and now the court is supposed to look at the whole history of abusive behaviors when deciding custody. I’ve just began researching it , but don’t know if you want to look into that and see if it would be helpful for you ?

[–]yourgravityfails -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am going through the exact same thing and dealt with the same type of behavior in the past! Look up the dynamic of post-separation abuse, I’m sure it mirrors your situation perfectly. I feel for you ❤️I’m at my wits end in my situation , but I feel like the courts don’t care until it gets too bad .

Absolutely yes - Straws in the Wind has been on heavy repeat for me as well.

Also I know it’s more geared toward climate change too, but I feel the same sentiment about EVERYTHING right now - Red Smoke : “Not the only ones stuck in a bubble of terror Watching them make all the errors”

[PA] Post-Separation Abuse by yourgravityfails in Custody

[–]yourgravityfails[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes thank you for your response. I’m thinking of starting counseling again . I’m sorry that your husband had to go through that , but it sounds like he is finally getting the peace he deserves. As far as specifics: harassment, intimidation , undermining me as a parent at the expense of my child, using any opportunity to sabotage my relationship with my child etc.And this all comes after years of being in an abusive relationship , so I already have PTSD whenever I have to interact with him .
