Dealing with Family Trauma setting me back

I’m 36 years old, and I’ve gone to therapy over the last couple of years, which has helped me a lot. Through that process, I’ve realized that what I thought was a learning disability when I was younger may have been more connected to the very unhealthy home life I grew up in between my parents.

I remember internalizing a lot of hurt when I was younger. Growing up, I thought, and my family thought, that I had ADD. But now that I’m going to school for my bachelor’s degree, I’ve come across a lot of things that point toward the unsafe environment I was in being a major reason for many of my learning difficulties.

That, along with being emotionally stunted by my parents in different ways well into early thirties, has really painted me into a corner in life. That corner looked like not going to school for a long time, working entry-level jobs, and then feeling like I did not “amount to much.” In turn, that has also made dating harder.

Has anyone else been through something similar?

Recommendation for mic handle for DJI Mic 2

Anyone have a recommendation for a good quality microphone handle for the DJI Mic 2? Like the ones you can just clip the mic to and maybe a good pop filter. I went in Amazon and all the ones I look at look decent at first glance but then looking at the reviews it looks like hot trash. Appreciate any help, thx

Where to get soundboard noises?

Feel silly asking this but where do people get sounds for their YouTube videos and graphics. Sounds being the ones of (and I feel cringey saying this) but the classic ones of a bunch of kids saying “yeaaa!”, or another one of like a fart noise that widely used for awhile.

With graphics, I see some people use like confetti graphic or lightening bolts. Sorry this one is more vague. But where do people get these from? For the noises part I usually go to YouTube and screen record and then place it in the video but wondering if there’s a better way

Baggy Jeans Difference

I got the medium wash Baggy Jeans and black Baggy Jeans. There was a lot more stiffness to the medium wash throughout the jeans and especially at the bottom. The bottoms of the medium wash almost had a bell bottom look due to the stiffness. Was wondering if anyone else noticed this

Emotional neglect in childhood and young adult life impacting present

I was wondering if anyone else has been through the same thing. I was about eight when my parents divorced, and it was messy leading up to that point. Then the courts took my sister and brother away, and I was with my dad, which I was thankful for at the time.

My father went from being my hero out of my parents to becoming another bad influence. His anger was terrible. He wasn’t really emotionally available, and he was manipulative from when I was young until I left the house at 26. With my mother not being really in the picture from hurtful times that happened when I was younger but I’d see her during birthdays and holidays and was grateful for such times.

I’ve gone to therapy a handful of times growing up, and I’ve made some connections, like realizing that my anger came from the constant manipulation from my father. I also realized that my anger itself mirrored what I had learned from him. The amount of time I’d go to these therapists never lasted long, either because something would happen with insurance or because something just wasn’t clicking or meshing with the therapist. Eventually, though, I made a connection with one therapist. I saw her for a couple of years, and I felt my vision of my life changing for the better.

With that, though, I’ve come to realize that such an unstable and hurtful childhood, and young adult life, shaped my life in many ways. It affected my learning in school, which has taken a toll on where I am now in life, including jobs, money, and dating. It’s even more than that. I feel like these things have held me back mentally in my growth in general.

Being raised in such sadness, not knowing what a better day looked like, and having terrible role models left a lasting impression on me. In part, I feel like it contributed to why I’m not with the woman I wish I would have married.

Has anyone else felt like this?

What’s the easiest way to cut a picture from its background and put it in a video where use the ‘Tracker’ on the fusion page to stay on top of a person in the video. How do you do this? I know there’s multiple ways to remove the background that’s a solid color, I know you can cut it out from the back on the color page but doesn’t seem to translate over to the fusion page when I use that method.

Also, what’s free ways to use images like this in the future hopefully without a background without using ChatGPT?
