No! Did they go to college? If not, did they still get the money? If they didn’t get the money then did it go to a charity or something? I could Google but fuck it I'm being lazy. Sorry

Thinx underwear? Haven’t tried so can’t personally recommend, just what comes to mind. A quick Google also brings up dear Kate underwear which looks like the same concept.

Being with someone like that is hard, because usually they keep you in the shade, but the second they turn the light on you it feels like your whole body is warm and safe and relaxed. You’ve become used to being left in the cold, and you think only that person can make you feel warm and that’s probably why you miss…

Thank you :)

I’m so sorry :( as an outsider though it *is* really nice to hear that you made the difficult step in finding her a home that’s a better fit. That’s a tough decision and you should be proud of yourself. You seem like a really good person. I understand why you’re sad though. I hope you cuddle your kitty tonight and…

This is so, so hard and I’m sorry you have this tough decision ahead of you. Have you met with any trainers that use positive reinforcement? If so, can you reach out to them and ask them for more resources or advice? I don’t know if you have a lot of disposable income, but there are some facilities that will take…

Hi all! So first, a gripe. SNS happening at random ass times/usually late-ish on the east coast is annoying. Wtf.

He looks soooo good with the longer hair! I love it

I don’t really have advice or anything but this sounds so cute and fun :)

Oh man, I took a glassblowing class awhile ago and had a crush on the instructor. Watching them work with their hands.....

Yesssssss.

Yeah we certainly don’t blame him (for lack of a better word) and haven’t taken it personally. I know the hardest part for my husband is feeling like he’s turning his back on his friend. It’s so hard not to feel guilty. Thanks for your comment.

We did look into the VA inpatient unit, my husband actually drove him an hour to the hospital only to find out that he’d have to pay $1500+ for the program. He couldn’t convince him to take on the debt and do it. There’s a veteran program I just got an email about, so I’m gonna check into that and see if they can get…

Thank you for this insight, I really appreciate it. I’m worried about the cost for him because he’s currently jobless and also paying child support. He has insurance through the national guard but the coverage sucks (according to him, and based on what treatment at the VA would cost him I believe it). I tried finding…

Right after college I got a job as a marketing assistant, then I left to work as a marketing rep for a hospital. I just applied for a transfer to our development department to do fundraising/development though. Not exactly what I thought I’d be doing but I’ve been pretty fortunate job-wise! Moving into development…

Thank you. I’ll definitely pass along that info.

Thank you so much for your perspective. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that. I agree completely - Dan drinks to deal with his emotions. I’ve told him while he was living here that he doesn’t need to be ashamed if he slips up and drinks, but he can’t lie about it. I tried to give him my former therapists info. Sadly…

We haven’t tried that. It’s awful because he’s very manipulative (not trying to be an asshole, I know that’s part of the shittiness of addiction) so it makes it so hard to figure out what he really needs and how hurt he really is. In the afternoon he’d have a plan to tackle this shit, by nighttime he’d be wasted. It’s…

Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it. I’ve never had someone in my life struggle like this and I have no idea what I’m doing. Every move feels wrong. Thank you for sharing.
