It’s been this way for as long as I can remember. Front section grows just fine but you all can see that huge gap/thinness in the middle 😭
I’ve tried EVERYTHING (blood work, collagen tablets, even a big chop. I’ve seen a dermatologist and they say my hair grows just fine from the root)
It just doesn’t retain any length in that particular area and I don’t understand why
Hi,
I’m 28F and work as a Corporate Finance Manager, I’m CIMA qualified and my long-term goal is CFO at a mid-market company (maybe big company if I push myself)
I do not enjoy financial reporting, but more into financial strategy & long term-financial planning.
I currently work for a big employer within the Media industry and looking to stay in this industry or adjacent.
Single, no kids and don’t plan on having any.
What’s my path forward to get to that CFO goal in 10-15 years? Especially as I made manager at such a young age 😅
Thanks
My mother is not perfect but she is blindly in love with this clown of my father and it breaks me. When I (28F) was about 3, my mother took my brother (26M) and I to a foreign country so she could work because my father had lost his job in our home country. Do you know how this man repaid her efforts? By introducing her to his child born from an affair (23M)! We were only gone for about 2 years and he couldn’t hold out or even use a condom???
Then this man brings the child to live with us when I was 10-12?! It destroyed my mum and I think I may have taken the brunt of her anger (she called me a whore a lot of time and accused me of “trying to take her husband” 😭) the boy ended up moving back with his mother (I think everything just got too much for my mum) and we were not particularly nice to him so I think it was for the best. That was the last time my brother and I ever spoke to him.
Almost 20+ years since the affair and they’re still together but I’m not over it. I do not have a relationship with my dad, I don’t like him, he’s kind of a loser and I don’t talk to my half-brother either. I have nothing against him and I know it’s not his fault but I’m not interested. His existence has been a source of pain in our lives and I feel like accepting him means accepting what my father did is okay and I do not want to normalise cheating my in life.
Not sure what I want from this other than we can acknowledge on a rational level that it’s not the fault of the child that they’re born out of an affair, but it’s also not a must for them to be accepted by people who are hurt by their existence. It’s a hot mess.
EDIT: I have acknowledged that my mother said some horrible things to me as a child (and I’ve said some pretty horrible things back as an adult) she is far from perfect, toxic BUT she is my mother and I do not want to hear anything more about. This is a rant post, maybe some encouragement is welcomed but enough with all the negativity towards me and my mother! ENOUGH and stop projecting. Just because an innocent child is born out of an affair doesn’t mean the rest of us have to put up with them. If you’re so cool with, have your partner bring their affair baby home and welcome them with open arms!
Hej allihopa,
Lite bakgrund. Jag är uppvuxen i Sverige men mitt modersmål är engelska och de är det språket jag använder mest med min familj (förutom när vi reser och vill inte att andra ska förstå oss)
Grejen nu är att jag flyttade från Sverige till Storbritannien ungefär 11 år sen men hela familjen bor kvar i Sverige och jag åker tillbaka 1-2 gånger om året för att hälsa. Det känns som om jag tapper språket helt! Grammatiken blir sämre och jag glömmer massa ord. Jag vill ju into tappa mitt andra språk men jag vet inte riktigt vad jag ska göra eftersom jag trivs här i Storbritannien.
Vad ska man egentligen göra? Tack i förhand
EDIT: grammatik
Hi,
I’m a relaxed 4c and the back of my hair simply doesn’t grow. I’ve tried everything, done the big chop, tried every product, lots of protective styles and just leaving their hair out.
I saw a dermatologist and they said my hair follicles are completely fine and no alopecia. However it has a permanent “layered cut” look (even though I never cut it!!)
I’ve attached a picture that was recently taken of me from behind.
What could be the reason? Thank you
I recently had to end a friendship because of this as I was truly shocked at what was coming out of his mouth.
He said he wanted to be the “head of his household” but wanted a wife who worked full-time, paid bills AND did majority of the housework while he had the final say on major decisions.
I was shocked but then it dawned on me that this is what majority of marriages today are like. Even in household where the wife is the higher earner, she ends up doing more domestic labour.
I’ve always thought I wanted to get married but this whole thing is giving me major anxiety as I do not want someone who sees me as a tool to subsidise his life and cater to him while getting peanuts back…
This was a long rant 😭
