One of many things my mother did when I was a kid was do nothing when she found out her best friend's teenage son was molesting me. Her reaction when she found out was to scream at me, blame me for going to his room and not telling her (even though I was five years old and had no idea what was happening or the vocabulary to describe it), then never did anything about it. She just got mad at me, interrogated me about why I did even though I had no choice, then stopped talking about it after a few days. Never went to the police because she thought she'd get in trouble because it happened right under her nose when she should have been watching me (she'd be in the kitchen talking to her friend, and I'd be alone in her friend's living room playing the snake game on my mother's Nokia, which is where her friend's son would just pick me up and carry me to his room to nonce me). Never put me in therapy either.
She gave up her friendship with my rapist's mother, but then a few years later (when I was about eight or nine) they reconnected. She at least didn't bring me over to their house the second time around, but she did organise a trip to another city with her friend, and both of them brought their kids, including both me and the one who SA'd me. They did at least tried to keep us apart so I didn't see a whole lot of him during the trip, but I still had to see him. I remember we went to a park near the hotel with a playground and he was just staring at me from across the playground.
When I was 18 I tried to ask her why she reacted how she did but she had a complete meltdown. She accused me of lying, then accused me of guilt tripping her, then told me I need to get over it because it was years ago, then said I shouldn't feel sad because "you're pretty and have nice hair." I never tried to bring it up again.
Something really infuriating is that she acts like she's the best mother who ever existed, and says the reason she never divorced my dad was because she'd rather have me live with my father than have me live with one of her many affair partners because "she can't trust any man." Even though she made me go on holidays with a man who had already assaulted me and did absolutely nothing to help me through it.

In kindergarten there was a moidlet who became obsessed with me, calling me his wife and saying he was my husband. During recess he led to this area behind a giant shed thing, which was in the center of the yard so still sorta visible. Cant remember what he said but I know nothing serious happened, thank God.

Later when I told mom about this, all she did was scream at and interrogate me, right before bed late at night. She kept swearing and shaming me for not standing up for myself and telling him no, then blamed the woman teacher for not doing more to keep a moid away from me. I remember saying, "mom Im tired I just want to go to sleep" but she wouldnt let me till she was done punishing me for getting preyed upon. Even tho she has no boundaries and is a boymom herself, so how was I to know any better, with her poor excuse of an example?

That same year another moidlet strangled me. I cant remember her exact reaction, but nothing was done, and I dont think I was even believed. The moidlet is now an award winning nurse btw.

Grew up with DV between my parents, which really screwed up my ability to form all kinds of relationships in general.

Was running an errand when mom decided to mockingly reenact this DV, due to a minor friendly disagreement she was having with Dad. Then she laughed about it, looking at me for my reaction. For a split second, I thought she was actually in trouble, and that I might have to intervene.

What goes through her mind, to blatantly mock her own trauma and my childhood trauma like that?

I didnt laugh with mom, just stared in disbelief. It hurts.

Now mom is mad at me, is ignoring me, because I did not mock some of my worst childhood memories. Why? Did she do this to torment me?

Hello, it has occurred to me that a lot of us really have had horrible experiences with therapists and the psychology field in general. This thread is to discuss exactly that, either from personal experience or the way people have seemingly gotten worse after "therapy" (like Pixielocks). Discuss away.

I had to look up what EMDR is and it I can't believe it's basically to distract yourself with movement while reliving a painful memory? That sounds like what I used to do when I had OCD, the idea of someone telling me to move my eyes weird or tap while thinking of trauma sounds really counterintuitive. I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding emdr therapies.

I caved and tried therapy, not for a long time, for like two months, once a week and it felt so stupid every session. She didn't seem like a bad therapist but nothing really went anywhere and I guess she got tired of me, because she said, "Maybe therapy isn't for you right now and you should take a break from it and come back when you 'feel ready'," whatever that means, like wasn't I ready and that's why I came? Anyways, that was that. She didn't even wait for me to think about it.

Alright, i looked into this and it turns out that capsicum is simply the active ingredient of chilly peppers, paprika has it too and it even decreases cholesterol levels. It is argued that it has positive effect on obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Mexicans eat it all the time and they're fine. So yeah, i accept your concession. Spicy rules!

we rescued a sweet sweet jack russle mix that is 2 months postpartum and 2 weeks post-op from being fixed. i feel so much for her b/c she came from a breeding program where she was mistreated, but ive only owned male dogs before so dealing with her postpartum body has been strange. TMI, there was some bloody discharge that had me running all over google going "is this normal??" like a dolt. short answer is yes, but we're keeping a close eye on her. the name she came with is Hermosa and i think we're not gonna change it.

Maybe it would be helpful to look at your career options from another point of view. Something that might help is think of what kind of life you want to lead, do you want to take a lot of vacations? Have a big house or live in a large city? Or would you prefer to do things mostly locally and live a bit more simply? Then look at the market trends for each industry and typical pay. You might also be able to find forums or subreddits where people in that field discuss it and/or rant. Decide if the drawbacks are something you can put up with or not and choose whichever path most closely will afford you the lifestyle you want. Your career doesn't necessarily have to be more fulfilling than that unless you definitely know of a type of career you really want.

I made it to the final round of the interview process with my dream company, as a Web Developer, I just have to pass this live coding test. They sent me the repo in advance so I can prep, but I’m still so nervous. I haven’t worked with this stack in over a year so I’m a bit rusty. I have a few days to prepare at least.
