When you lose "what you can offer" and they still stick by you. Which you won't know until it happens so it's pretty much a crapshoot. Listen to your heart but your cold hard unforgiving brain should feature in the conversation as well.

    I heard piefed was good too. Doesn't work with Connect though and I'm not changing apps again after RiF. Also the other option I heard for .ee refugees was uhhhhh I think feddit.uk? Might be worth looking into. Still, .ee will forever reign supreme. So long as you avoid the tankie triad you should be good

    Oh you're the woman from the other question! Sorry I just connected the names. Well it sounds to me like you're doing pretty well, teenagers are fucking horrendous in general and the fact he's still close and talking to you at all is a success in and of itself

    I can sympathize, I was a nightmare for my parents growing up not being able to sleep. Though I usually was caught reading or playing video games instead. ADHD can be very hard to deal with and I wish you the best of luck

    It's up to you how you raise your kid. Does he have any special needs or other extenuating circumstances? If not, personally I would try not to make it a habit for him. Bring him back to his bed when this happens and stay up with him until he falls asleep again so he can be more comfortable in his own bed. That can be exhausting but I think it would be good for both of you if your son had some good independence skills.

    Title. Interested to see the response from different religions

    Edit: Stating your religion would be appreciated. Lack of religion counts for the purpose of this question. Also let's not downvote people for differing religions, all voices are welcome here. If no; why?

     

    It's like it hits "normal people are sleeping" time and I suddenly have a million things to say to them.

    To be clear, this is not "I'm going to wake you up with inane ramblings" it's "why do I feel like rambling inanely when I shouldn't" for people who like to skim.

     

    My fiance has been struggling a lot lately with this and it's taking a toll on me. I'm doing all I can and all I know how to do but it's getting really hard and exhausting to deal with the constant cycle of abuse and then apology and then abuse and then apology over and over and over again for months. Usually day by day. I have convinced her to go to a counselor for help and she has an appointment set and seemed willing but she has kept up the cycle of drinking and I'm afraid she'll just ignore it or pretend to go. If anyone has experience helping a loved one through overcome this I would appreciate the help. She is an absolutely wonderful person when she is sober and I love her with all my heart but I'm not sure what else I can do and I don't want the rest of my life to consist of this.
