hello! as the title says I might be getting a male rough collie puppy! I currently have a golden retriever Great Pyrenees mix (f)and I know that there is a world of difference between the two. Prepared to train and make sure that he has enough mental stimulatio.
are there any differences or things I should kno?
A year since I’ve started.
A year of hurt and pain
A year of trying to off myself and realizing that its not going to happen.
A year of being ignored.
A year of getting better but worse.
A year of changing methods.
A year of hiding each little scar.
A year I didn’t want to live.
Anyways it’s been a year since I started SH, and not really sure how I feel about it. I am safe now and in a good mindset so if you’re worried about me, thanks but I’m fine🙂
hi. 14f for context. I’m new here so sorry if I did anything wrong, I will change it if you let me know.
It makes me so sad to see what my sisters are going through and what I know could happen as they get older.
Over the past year I’ve had some mental health issue/breakdowns that were related to basically not having friends, horrible home lif, having to go to a toxic church environment and a strict dress code. Thankfully, I am now in therapy (side effect of the psych ward)and I have a great therapist who understands tricky family dynamics.
Over the past year I’ve been wearing pants instead of at least knee length skirts, got a phone, stopped going to church(my parents are determined that I’ll come back if one of them stays home with me)and stopped calling my parents mom and dad because they rea aren’t the best parents. A lot of this was made possible by being sent to the psych ward and the doctors there talking with my parents about expectations that my parents would have to do when I got home. ofc my parents did challenge those expectations and try to colaspe them but it turns out my mom is triggered by CPS(I wonder why?). Not to say that I’m not still struggling, but things have gotten slightly more tolerable for me.
But I can see that my sisters are starting to be at the age where they are really going to notice the difference. like my littlest sister was watching a Mr rogers episode about going to school and my mom was like “I don’t know if it talks about homeschooling in there but every kid prefers to be homeschooled then going home to public school” I at least wish she’d do some research about how a lot of kids later wished they were public schooled. And after that episode my little sis had a lot of questions about public schools that were promptly shut down.
And my other sister is getting to the age where wearing a knee length sKirt with her swimsuit is going to start attracting more questions. not to mention that I can see that she has been struggling mentally a lot over the past few months/weeks.
