snowbeau when was your last eye test? Might it be as simple as needing glasses or different ones?

One of my relatives is serving life in jail in Scotland for murder. He drugged and set fire to his drug dealer because he owed him so much money.

@ScrollingLeaves

“ImprobablePuffin I get over 2k a month in UC and DLA because I have disabled children and cannot work due to caring for them. I don't tell anyone because I can't stand the scorn.“

How could anyone scorn you or resent you having that financial support? You should have every penny and more.

I've been called a sponger, a scrounged, a drain on society. I've had people say I should have aborted my children so I wouldn't waste taxpayer money. You'd be amazed how much people begrudge it. I've even had people say they wish their kids were disabled so they could live the life of luxury. (I don't live the life of luxury btw)

May I ask why you are no longer in contact ?

My BFF of 10 years has completely distanced herself from me & I have no idea why ! I have asked why but met with a wall of silence !
She is very active on FB & Instagram so all would appear to be ok in her world.
I miss the friendship we once had so much.

Sending you hugs x

I wanted to give my daughter up for adoption when she was about 3 years old, was struggling and couldn’t cope. I didn’t but I do regret having a child. She’s 14 now.

I had an abortion when my daughter was 6 months old and I’ve never told my daughter’s dad, only my best friend knows.

For years I contemplated suicide and how I would do it, but didn’t want to leave my daughter with no mum especially as my mum died when I was 12.

I was sexually abused by my uncle, no one in my family knew, wouldn’t believe me anyway. He died recently and was told of his funeral but obviously didn’t go. Bastard lived until about 90.

I recently resigned from my job and spent my notice period watching Netflix and taking 3 hour lunch breaks going for a wander 🤷🏾‍♀️

My message was for @TickTockBitches 😳

Snowbeau · 07/06/2021 21:42

@MrsBongiovi

I know why, and I know this a sign that things are getting worse in my brain, but I'm too scared to phone the Dr to let them know.

Please contact your doctor. Whatever is happening, is happening. Medical involvement can only make it better. Flowers

Thank you, you're right I know you are. I feel like I'm making a fuss though, and whenever this happens it means a swift admission into hospital. The last one was only 2 weeks ago. I know it all needs fixing properly. I'll call tomorrow.

@sashh I also know a teacher with a conviction, for possession of Class A drugs

Cottoncandyandpeaches · 07/06/2021 21:56

I have a running away fund

Inspired over a thread a while back,I plan to send a dick glitter bomb to my partners ex wife in the next few months (ok,my son knows about it as he’s going to order it for me and I’ll give him the cash)
6 years of pure hell she’s tried (and failed) to put us through

My stepdaughter (who did live with us but doesn’t now due to two years of nasty cf behaviour) hadn’t changed her address on wish or eBay
Stuff arrives-I bin it-nobody knows I’ve done it and she’s never rang to ask if it did arrive

I’m a pagan-nobody has ever asked so I’ve never told anyone

I'm finding it hard to see properly.

Have you had your b12 levels checked.. its a common - not noticed symptom
Hawkins001 · 07/06/2021 23:13

I think we will need a part two soon

Strugglingbigtime · 08/06/2021 03:20

@MiriamMargo

I dont really enjoy babysitting my grandkids
Mom is that you 🤣
StarlightLady · 08/06/2021 06:24

If we have a part 2, I wonder if it would be possible to split between a light hearted and a serious thread?

I made 2 truthful but light comments and feel a little bad about making them amongst the very serious and sometimes sad responses.

Actually I think a thread like this kinda works better mixed. You need some light in-between all the darkness

I may well be the worst on here.
I slept with a distant cousin (didn't know at the time).
Had a fb who was married.
Slept with a friends bf.
Had a three-some with 2 guys.
Given a lift by a stranger when lifts were a thing, before we got to our destination, we booked into a hotel and had the best sx I've ever had. Fckd all night and drove on the next day.
Slept with my boss's husband.
Slept with a guy who came in to ask for directions, literally went to the back of the office there and then.
Slept with Julio from work.
Almost slept with the sky guy.
Almost slept with my landlord.
I don't attach s
x to feelings and would run a mile when someone tried to turn anything into a relationship. None of it was ever planned, I just found myself in certain situations where I just went along with it. Worst part is I was always sober. Possibly low self esteem mixed with being young and naivety. I never thought about it afterwards, I'd just carry on with my life as if nothing happened.
Now married for 5 years, no cheating and don't feel the need to. Dh has only had one other partner and thinks I've had 3. S*x is meh but feel I've had my share so can't complain. Especially as he is the best in everything else.
Also had 2 abortions, which although I don't quite regret, I think about from time to time. Not been lucky in ttc, so guess that's my karma. Luckily dh not fussed about having kids.

Bard6817 · 08/06/2021 08:35

At age 52, I’m done with work.

Worked since 16, been a workaholic my entire life.

About a decade ago i was put through a meat grinder that nearly killed me. I now suffer PTSD as a result, yeah i have nightmares about business meetings, constant chest pains, palpitations constantly, now suffer from vitiligo, headaches, and there’s about a dozen other small and individually meaningless symptoms. But together, my body feels like i’m a bit of a wreck and i can barely do housework, and as i can’t handle any stress whatsoever, i’m a pretty crap listener to my partner.

NHS is too busy to help me. So many minor complaints, each taking forever to check out and never resolve anything.

Cant afford to retire without my pension…

So basically being forced back to work. I don’t want benefits, i just want to retire. GP is useless and doesn’t think i’m ill even though there is clear medical evidence now - and i’d rather commit suicide than work another day.

MrsBongiovi · 08/06/2021 08:42

I agree. And you can’t really tell people what to post.

EssentialHummus · 08/06/2021 08:51

plashy - you seem very open sexually but can’t write the word “sex”? How come?

Bard6817 · 08/06/2021 09:13

Does this site alter the word sex to s*x?

Bard6817 · 08/06/2021 09:14

Apparently not.

whynotwhatknot · 08/06/2021 10:07

is the op around to start a new thread or does someone else want to do it
