please be kind lol i just moved to washington this year and im a rangers fan. it will be the first time in climate pledge arena to watch my boys and probably be going alone.
If youve been to Madison Square Garden, youd know theres a section where you can like stand and watch the game so you dont have to go to your seat. So i am curious to see if theres anything similar to that at CPA. tyia!
just like the title says. a while back, my ex boyfriend broke my glasses in an argument, and its my only pair with the correct prescription as my back up pair suck and he knew rhat.
theyre broken in many places and the lenses popped out. super glue isnt working and it looks worse bc if you look up close you can see theyre clearly broken and i poorly tried to fix them. im not walking around with broken glasses.
im pretty ashamed to go back to the eye doctor but theyre so expensive to get a new pair especially with my perscription needs. but i really need it. the money is part of the problem but im sure they need to see the old pair to see the old doctor but its so broken that i cant really think of a plauseible excuse other rhan he broke them and i dont need dv resources from them out of people and these people worrying about me. if any ones perpetrator broke their glasses, what was your solution other than super glue. i just want new glasses without drawing attemtion to myself of how the real reason they broke
looking to leave dcyf when the time is right but still wanna stay within the state. what roles are social work-y but arent these jobs. i dont want a paycut
I (24F) amd going on a first date with (28M) this week. Conversation via text is going good so far and he liked my pictures enough obviously. In my pictures I had long hair.
Thing is, I cut my hair last week (I have a bob) but there are currently no pictures on my profile that indicate such as I just simply forgot to update my profile to my more current look. date is this weekend however would it be too much to let him know that "hey just being transparent but i look slightly different from my profile, i cut my hair short hair like super recently and forgot to update my profile, dont want you im catfishing you" or should i just leave it. tyia
fleet week is big a thing where im from so im trying to whats popping here for it. free drinks for the girlies lol. so what bars are popular for fleet week here?
ive been collecting american girl very on and off since i was 9. started collecting as an adult at age 18 once i found out my mother threw away my childhood collection and i was devastated. i was able to repurchase some of the items i loss and have since expended. currently i havent expanded my collection in about 3 years. with moving cross country, and cost of living and being my big age (26) i just dont really gravitate towards them anymore. ive beem on the fence about getting rid of my collection via momey as some of it as i have some HTF dolls/outfits in pristine condition. things are not super tight but i know i have money sitting in my closet with my collection. but im afraid once i get rid of it, im gonna miss it. i wanna pass my collection down to my future child one day if i have a daughter. rn theyre just sitting in my closet and im just unsure what to do with them. every so often i do just check on them but thats extent of it. im afraid to put them in storage bc i dont want them to get musty. i do care about them but im not attached to them as much so i dont know what i wanna do with them.
hi. ive (26F) been dating my boyfriend (27M) for a couple years. ive reached a point where i feel comfortable enough to disclose the details of the abuse i endured at the hands of my mother. the problem is that his family dynamic is just so perfect. everyone gets along, they hang out regularly, all the holidays and birthdays are spent together. hes close with his family. nothing wrong with that but as someone who has a complicated relationship with my family, this makes me hesitant to open up for obvious reasons. i feel like once you disclose abuse, people treat you differently. and i have worked SO hard to overcome it and move past it (ive been in therapy since 2020)
he knows my mother is a sensitive topic for me so we dont speak about her. when we first started dating, he used to ask about her and just kinda get sad, answer his question all lowkey depressed, and then quickly change the subject. id try not to let it show but i guess my face says it all sometimes. this happened twice before he realized something was off. last year for mothers day, he asked if i was doing anything for it (not really knowing) and i said no, its just another day for me, and i changed the subject. he got the hint that i dont have a good relationship with her and he never asked about her again.
i have successfully avoided the subject of my mother up until this point where i want to talk about it. this is a serious relationship and i do see myself with him long term. and over the course of our relationship, hes made me feel safe, so im starting to feel safe disclosing the abuse. i didnt feel this way with a previous partner. so i guess delimna how do you guys disclose past childhood abuse to a partner? bc i dont know where to start. thanks in advance.
okay this is very niche but does anyone have this sweater that they dont want anymore?

hi! expecting a girl, we decided on eloise. yay.
problem: we cannot decide on a middle name. i lean towards longer names: my top contenders is eloise parker, eloise nicole, eloise olivia
DH likes a more simple/or 2 syllable names like eloise marie, eloise rose, eloise grace, (no eloise elizabeth. hubby and i hate the name elizabeth)
last name starts with a k and is a lot of hard consonants . last name is also 3 syllables.
if you have an eloise, what is her name? tyia!
idk if anyone can relate but my bf has a normal family where everyone gets along and communicates and has normal family holidays without fighting. i spend time with them and althought i have a nice time and genuinely like them it makes me sad that my family relationships kinda just... suck. seeing them makes me mourn what i should have. i just wanted my mom to love me the way she was supposed to. and it breaks my heart i wasnt given that as a child and as a i get older, the more i wanted my mother to just love me and she just wasnt able to. inthink she loved the idea of having me as a daughter and the aesthetic of that but i dont think she loved me the way i needed to be.
this christmas will be 4 years of NC, and this is the first year that it's kinda bringing me down, especially since being with my bf and interacting with his family.
family contexrt: narcissistic mother (although i think she was borderline tbh) and phsycially, verbally, and emotionally to me. only daughter. (father: provided financially, but was gone all the time and left me alone to deal with my mother during childhood. when he was around and when my mom started shit, he'd jump in to try and protect me. eventually parents got divorced but looking back i wishe he protected me from her and now i kinda look at him different. still have a relationship with him tho)
but back to my bf's family, it makes me sad and lowkey bitter on the inside.. like families can be this way?? emotionally regulatwd and actually spend time together?? i myself am in therapy so im working thru my feelings/trauma from my childhood. for me, obviously the abuse happened during my brain evelopment years and i am working very hard to NOT be like my mother in any capacity.
like this year feels like im greving my mother all over again when i feel like maybe i shouldve already grieved her since its been almost 4 years since i did NC. breaking NC would probably send me into a spiral bc dealing her always sent me into flight or fight and she is definitely still oblivious/has no insight as to why i dont speak with her. im not mad with my bf or his family i love them but the more time i spend with his family, i get sad thinking about what couldve been with mine. rant over
