The way to handle the issue with DS who wasn't picked for sports is to find something he loves and strongly encourage participation in it. Music is a good choice, also art, camping, running track (which doesn't require being on a team at first and is great exercise). Also community theater, working with tools, reading. Achievement in any activity is good for the self esteem and also the soul. Worked with my kids.

I love when people make the argument "you don't believe in science" as if they know anything about it. If you had any education at all, you'd know that science isn't always right. I learned this in middle school. When science is rushed, you're going to have errors and failures. And you can't learn the long-term effects of science unless you give it time. Anyone who says "you don't believe in science" is only spewing basic crap they hear from other people. If you really knew anything about science, you'd use facts.

As a person who runs multiple social media accounts as part of my job- we read all the comments, and sometimes they get on our nerves. People love to criticize, to make it about themselves, so be self-righteous. Please remember that there is a real person, a busy worker, who reads your comments. Sorry you didn't like the post. Sorry there was a typo that one time. Sorry the post didn't apply to your unique situation and you got offended over literally nothing. Sorry you thought it was irrelevant. Sorry there are more important issues in the world. Sorry you have an opposite opinion and are wasting your time commenting. I wish I could reply and tell you to pull the stick out of your ass or to take a flying fuck at the moon.

My ds11 came to me and said he wasn't picked for PE sports. Which I expected bc he's the opposite of athletic, not that I told him that. But he was really disappointed and upset. I have no idea how to handle it bc I have never ever fit in anywhere. I've never met a single person who liked me for me. Nobody, not even my mom, has loved who I am. My H openly admits he only likes me for my body and what I do for him, we don't actually have anything in common. I have absolutely nobody. I've never even been able to get away from where I grew up to see if there are other people like me. So now I'm upset for my son and upset for myself and I don't know what to do. Most days I'm really good at just ignoring it, but it gets hard to pretend I'm not lonely.

can't part 3. Then he asks if I'm in the mood for sex last night. HAHAHAHA! NO! I've tried dealing with his anger issues, control issues, his bad manners, and shit talking mouth. I'm sick of him. I told him I'm not his mother! And people ask him all the time how he got me. He has great qualities, but I told him we're not compatible. I'm the 1st lady he's ever been with who is clean and sober, works, cooks and cleans. He's 55 years old and spent about 16 to 17 years in and out of jail or prison since he was 24. He got sober in 2016. I'm waiting until my house with my ex sells in October and I'm outta here. I've never lived alone. I married at 19 and was with ex til I was 48. I can't do this with bf anymore as much as we love each other. I've reached out to couples counselors to no avail. Bf said he'd go. Men just really suck! Oh, and my sis got engaged the night before they came to see us. Poor things. I felt so bad they had to see bf acting the way he did.

Effort from both parties in a marriage is what keeps the love alive. My exH & my DH are both military, but different jobs. My exH's job involved having lots of free time on his hands where DH's job he's constantly busy. With my ExH, other wives texted with their H's through the day, whereas when I texted mine I didn't get replies. He made me feel like I was bothering him. I also found out he talked crap about me all the time. We were only together 5yrs total. I left him, he begged for me back, no idea why since he hated me so much. Current DH, together 9 years, texts me back no matter how busy he is, sometimes he'll call me just to hear my voice, sends me funny pictures and videos. He brags about me to his buddies.

He asked to talk on the phone at around noon, I agreed then didn't hear back for about 8pm. I assumed it wasn't going to happen and think a part of me was okay and wanted to be disappointment so that I wouldn't still be emotionally invested. And, I've felt disappointment by guys in the past so know this well. H's a man of his words and we had a wonderful, lovely, laugher-filled 1-hr call with some deep moments. I even had a breakthrough during the call about how I handle my trauma response when it comes to fawning. This guy is leaving me speechless

Hi Guys! Omg, you all are still here!? Love you guys! It’s been weird lately. I haven’t come on here for a while. All this self reflection has driven me to be more and more reclusive. Sorry for not posting the anon subs lately…I’m going to try to get back into it.

Aerial yoga class have been soul-nourishing, challenging, and fun. I get to let my inner child play. And, I love this teacher! I will really miss her classes when I move.

24 patients admitted yesterday, which brings us to a total of 88 covid patients, so far. They are ALL not vaccinated. Every last one of them. Yes, we are absolutely tracking vaccination status. I keep telling myself it's not their fault. They were force fed misinformation by a propaganda machine. But it doesn't change the fact that if someone I love gets into a serious car accident, we, the largest hospital in the northeast region of the state, can't accommodate them in the ICU. All because someone did their "research" on YouTube and Facebook.
